Tucson Mayor Jonathan Rothschild has been in office for a little more than a year and is giving his second State of the City Address tomorrow. Tucson Unified School District is under a federal desegregation order, and has been for decades. A judge recently ordered the district to add "culturally relevant courses" to the curriculum as part of a plan to bring racial balance to the district. Rebecca Gau, Director of the Governor's Office of Education Innovation, speaks about Governor Jan Brewer's reform agenda for immigration reform and a key to that is Arizona's adoption of the Common Core Standards curriculum. Also, Tucson voters approved a $100 million road bond package in November to fix the city's ailing streets.
