Arizona and Voucher Danger

Runaway school vouchers lead to school closures.

In every state.

Every time.

The evidence out of Arizona is clear:

8 more community schools close: Our hearts break for the Kyrene and Scottsdale communities, as their school boards have voted to shutter neighborhood schools. Kyrene voted to close 6 schools, and Scottsdale Unified voted to shut down 2 schools at the end of this school year. These votes come after months of emotional community input and difficult conversations about budget constraints. This brings the total number of schools shut down since universal ESA voucher expansion to 28, with at least 4 more closures expected in Amphi.

It’s not enough that an investigation revealed families using voucher funds to pay for vacations. Now, there’s evidence the voucher money was spent on diamond rings, necklaces, and iPhones.

The investigation found that private school parents using ESA vouchers for their kids “bought diamond rings and necklaces, Kenmore appliances, and even lingerie with education tax dollars… more than 200 Apple iPhones
