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. ➡ www.yourvalley.net/surprise-ind...

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 😡
