Lawyer wants state fined millions of dollars over English language programs

The Arizona Daily Sun

PHOENIX -- An attorney for parents of English learners wants a federal judge to again begin imposing stiff fines on the state for failing to properly fund teaching programs.

Tim Hogan said Friday that lawmakers ignored an order in March by U.S. District Court Judge Raner Collins to come up with a new plan by the end of the legislative session. Instead, they chose to do nothing and instead appeal.

Hogan said the threat of substantial fines may be what is finally needed to get their attention.
