## Resource

Arizona’s Superintendent Tom Horne just unveiled a $300K grant to train 100 new teachers via his apprenticeship program, aiming to tackle the state’s worsening teacher shortage — a problem he’s warned about since 2003. The initiative lets aspiring educators earn while learning from seasoned teachers, with funding covering wages and coursework. As Horne ramps up his reelection push, he’s pushing for better pay and support to stem teacher departures — citing a colleague who knew 40 teachers who quit due to lack of discipline support. Meanwhile, challenger Kimberly Yee proposes her own mentorship plan, questioning Horne’s current approach as insufficient. The race to retain Arizona’s educators is heating up.
