A gun found at a Phoenix elementary school led Superintendent Tom Horne to urge Arizona lawmakers and Governor Katie Hobbs to boost school safety funding, citing the need for more armed officers and counselors.
The state’s School Safety Program, which currently funds 498 safety personnel across over 1,100 schools, has received $103 million in funding requests for fiscal year 2027—enough to add more than 700 positions.
Horne warned that insufficient funding could jeopardize student and staff safety, emphasizing widespread concern among school leaders.
