Advocates are calling on Arizona state lawmakers to properly fund education in the state during an event at the Arizona State Capitol on March 12.

On Wednesday, educators and the Arizona Education Association rallied at the state capitol for Prop 123, the measure that would give educators a raise.

Prop. 123 was passed in 2016 by voters but expires at the end of June. The measure allows the state to take nearly 7% out of the land trust fund, up from 2.5%, to pay for school districts' expenses.
