ARIZONA: A recent report that two companies passed over the Phoenix area for relocation is raising big questions about our state’s economic development strategy and our education system. What can we do better to land top employers. Is our K-12 system up to snuff to attract the most demanding firms, do we have enough quality schools.
The central question we should be asking, however, is whether these companies had access to Google. A simple search would have revealed that Arizona is an excellent place to invest and grow for a number of reasons, including our educational system.K-12 education in Arizona is characterized by best-in-the-nation school choice, where families have access to high-performing, nationally ranked public schools.
They have their pick of district schools through open enrollment, as well as chart-topping charter schools.Even private schools are an attainable option through a tuition tax credit program. If you want access to a great education in Arizona especially in the Phoenix area you can find it.
