The Arizona Supreme Court has ruled that the state is not required to reimburse counties for school desegregation compliance expenses that exceed the state constitution’s 1% limit on residential property taxes. The court affirmed that lawmakers were within their rights to mandate in 2018 that districts, including Tucson Unified, find ways to cover these costs without passing the burden onto state taxpayers. This decision clarifies that the responsibility for desegregation expenses lies with district residents rather than taxpayers across the state.
