Governor Brewer has signed into law a bill that will allow any remaining tax-credit donations from last year and previous years to be used to fill in cuts made to classroom budgets.
Taxpayers can give $200 a year to schools in tax credit donations, $400 if filing jointly as a married couple. The money has been restricted to field trips and character education.
The Arizona Republic reports that the temporary measure will allow school districts to use the money for books, classroom supplies, library materials, technology and buses for up to two years.
