SCHOOL VOUCHERS: Superintendent of Pima County Schools Dustin Williams said now any student in Arizona can apply and use the money to go to private or charter schools.
TUCSON, Ariz. — The Arizona Legislature voted last week to approve the school voucher program, which expands the program to all K-12 students in the state. The voucher program or empowerment scholarship accounts, originally began about 10 years ago to help students with special needs enroll in the right schools.
"So the parameters were if the student was in an f or d school if the student had special needs, lived in tribal lands or was in the military, you would go to the Arizona Department of Education and fill out an application and if you got approved you would get approx $7000 to go to a private school," he said."Now it will be open to every student to go where they would like to go.
“But parents still need to do their homework," he said."Just because you might be getting some extra dollars from ADE make sure that school has all your student’s needs.” "It is that people realize that it’s a grift and this is just for private operators that are trying to make a profit off of our kids," she said."There's nothing in this bill that stops anyone from just opening a strip mall school, parking a kid in front of a computer for hours and making a profit off of it."
