👏 AZ STATE OF THE STATE: Save Our Schools Arizona and the vast majority of Arizona voters stand with Governor Hobbs' call to end the rampant waste, fraud, and abuse in the universal ESA voucher program. It is far past time to add much-needed accountability to this off-the-rails program!

This week, Congress will hear the long-awaited federal voucher program called “Qualified Elementary & Secondary Education Scholarships” — formerly known as “ECCA”. This dangerous voucher plan is a $5 BILLION giveaway of taxpayer dollars to private schools 😲

😢Arizona’s $1 Billion voucher program, paired with the state legislature’s chronic underfunding of public schools, is leading to school closures across the state — disproportionately impacting Title I schools that serve low-income communities.

👀 Read @propublica.org's shocking new account of a ESA voucher-funded strip mall school that failed families by shutting down with no warning— and zero accountability from the state.

Arizona Regulators Closed a Failing Charter School. It Reopened as a Private Religious School Funded by Taxpayers.
Arizona’s acclaimed voucher program provides zero transparency into private schools’ history, academic performance or financial sustainability to help parents make informed school choices.

🤔DID YOU KNOW? AZ’s ESA voucher program was originally created for students with special needs. Currently, Only 16% of the students using ESA vouchers have disabilities — compared to 60% before universal expansion. Unfortunately, many special needs students have been pushed to the back of the line ☹️

AZ parents, teachers and community members could not be more clear on this. We choose our public schools and we want them funded. Full stop.
🎯 OPINION: ”It’s time for the Arizona legislature to get serious about funding our public schools, the centers of our communities. It’s time to stop playing political games with education — or every single one of us will pay the price now and long into the future."

Great afternoon celebrating our volunteers, people who care deeply for community. They back it up with their actions, & they aren’t stopping any time soon. I am grateful for these & all of our volunteers & my amazing teammates Alicia & Nicole! Plus we got to meet Norah, the newest CAT dog!

I am teacher tired on this Friday morning, but nothing is better than starting off the day with a 16 year old student saying “I just love school, Ms.” Joy plays such an important role in learning. 💙 His sincerity and enthusiasm make me so happy.
