Teachers build the future using science, data, and facts, and our public schools deserve leaders who do the same. I’ll always stand up for educators, students, and public education.

AZ Senate Majority Leader John Kavanagh is now pushing to EXPAND the $1 billion ESA voucher program by forcing local public schools to serve voucher students to cherry-pick public school extracurriculars and holding teacher pay raises hostage — reportedly linking both to the renewal of Prop 123 😡

🔥 OPINION: When universal ESA voucher logic is applied to other public services it becomes clear: the community suffers when we allow individuals to divert taxpayer $ away from a public institution, meant to benefit the good of society, into a private business.

Public school closures in AZ are accelerating at an alarming rate, with 28 since universal voucher expansion & 4 more closures expected in Amphi. Make no mistake: this is a part of the voucher lobby’s plan to destroy public education as laid out in Project 2025 — Defund > Discredit > Dismantle 😡

🚨The national Education Law Center urges states to reject the new federal voucher scheme, which threatens to drain billions from our public schools

Like AZ’s off-the-rails voucher programs, this scheme lacks accountability, opens the door for discrimination, & bypasses civil rights protections.
States Should Reject Federal School Voucher Scheme
Vouchers hurt public schools and their students.
