School choice in Arizona is under attack. A union-backed group has gathered petition signatures to put an initiative on the ballot that could strike down newly enacted legislation that expands
Empowerment Scholarship Accounts universally to all parents in Arizona. Until we vote on this initiative this November, the legislation is on hold.
SB1431, passed by the Legislature and signed into law by the Governor, gives parents the opportunity to send their children to Christian and private schools by allowing a portion of state money to follow the child to a school that best fits the children's needs.
Read the
FACT SHEET at
Center for Arizona Policy's website that details what ESAs are all about.
At next month's Government Breakfast on September 22nd, Center for Arizona Policy President
Cathi Herrod will speak on the subject. Hope many of you can attend and learn why we should reject the anti-ESA initiative and
vote yes for school choice.
