Brian Johnson/AFN Kyrene School District parent Jennifer Bowen tearfully requests members of the board on Tuesday to keep full-day funding for kindergarteners next year despite the looming budget crisis.

In the end, the $2.5 million measure to keep funding was narrowly passed by board members by a 3-2 vote with Beth Brizel and Bernadette Coggins voting against it. Jan. 11, 2011
