Arizona State School Superintendent Tom Horne says that children from the country of Mexico have been crossing the border and have been attending Ajo, Arizona schools for quite some time. Mexican children have been crossing the border at the Lukeville Port of Entry, and have been boarding buses to take them to school, and Horne has the video to prove it. Not only has this been going on under the nose of the top educator in Arizona, but the Superintendent of Pima County Public schools Linda Arzoumanian knew about it and has let it continue.
Superintendent Horne and the Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard also want legislators to close a loophole through which state money has been going to a Douglas public charter school. Videotape also shows students who live in Agua Prieta, Mexico are being driven to the Omega Alpha Academy charter school across the border in Douglas, AZ., despite denials by the school's executive director, Jose Frisby. With a state wide budget deficit of $1.6 billion, and $141 million cut from public education every dollar counts. Arizona tax payers can no longer support the cost of educating their own children as well as those from Mexico.
