Video: SB 1452 expands vouchers, diverts money for teacher pay
The
Senate Education Committee gave a due pass recommendation Tuesday evening along party lines on revisions to Arizona’s
vouchers that would expand eligibility to students who attend
Title I schools and take part in the
federal free- or reduced-price lunch program, which is about 70% of Arizona students.
This move to expand vouchers that
use public tax dollars to fund students’ private school costs, comes just two years after Arizona voters rejected expansion of Arizona’s
Empowerment Scholarship Accounts by voting against
Prop. 305.
