🚨 BREAKING: Arizona families and educators just filed a NEW 2026 ballot initiative to rein in our state’s out-of-control, $1 billion dollar voucher program.
We’re fighting for:
✅ Stronger safety standards to protect kids
✅ Real accountability to stop waste, fraud & abuse
✅ Recovering critical funding for public schools
The state now has 30 days to review what we submitted. Since lawmakers have failed to deliver real reform, we’re ready to take this directly to voters. |
Read the full statement:
Today, a coalition of Arizona families and educators represented by the Arizona Education Association and Save Our Schools Arizona filed language with the Secretary of State for a ballot measure to bring accountability and transparency to Arizona’s $1 billion universal ESA voucher program, while improving safety standards, preserving flexibility for students with disabilities, and recovering critically needed funds for Arizona’s local public schools.

However, the legislature has obstinately refused to add any guardrails to the program for three years, leading to massive fraud, waste, and unsafe situations for kids.
