O’Connor House and Expect More Arizona Unite Around Arizona Constitution’s Prioritization of Education
The O’Connor House and Expect More Arizona announced today the launch of The Arizona Education Commitment, a statewide, nonpartisan initiative to protect and preserve Arizona’s state educational institutions. The principles outlined in The Arizona Education Commitment are based on Article XI, Section 10 of the Arizona Constitution. It is being elevated by the supporters to increase public awareness about the constitutional prioritization of education and as a means to encourage Arizona citizens and leaders to explore all revenue enhancing options for addressing the state’s budget deficit and protecting vital public services such as education, public health and public safety.
“The authors of the Arizona Constitution believed so strongly in providing for our state educational institutions that education is the only significant affirmative appropriation identified in our state’s governing document,” said retired U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor. “As a result, the state legislature is required to insure the proper maintenance of all our state educational institutions, even in tough economic times, and to make such special appropriations as shall provide for their development and maintenance.”

Our commitment:
• All hospice patients and families receive pre-bereavement services as needed. All hospice bereaved receive support for 13 months following the loss of their loved one.
