This AZ financial summary completely destroys the narrative that public schools are being “starved” of funding. According to the report, AZ school districts ended FY2025 with more than $7.07B in ending balances/carryforward while total revenues exceeded $13.6B. At the same time, enrollment continues declining, yet spending keeps increasing. The data also shows districts spent about $1.7B on admin while maintaining tens of billions in capital assets and large reserves.
This is why parents are frustrated when activists claim ESAs are “draining” public schools. Districts are sitting on enormous $$ reserves while demanding even more taxpayer $$. If SOS truly cared about “unused taxpayer $$,” they’d demand districts return billions in unused carryforward funds or explain why so much money sits idle while academic outcomes remain mediocre. But they never do. Instead, they target parents seeking alternatives outside the system.
