Arizona's ESA Program: Cost, Choice, and Concerns
Arizonas Empowerment Scholarship Account program, now serving over one hundred thousand families, has expanded significantly since its launch in 2011. Originally for students with disabilities, it became universal in 2022, influencing seventeen other states. The program provides families direct control over education funds, leading to a surge in enrollment from eleven thousand to over one hundred thousand students. State Superintendent Tom Horne manages the growth, facing criticism for lack of spending rules. Recent audits revealed questionable purchases, but Horne maintains fraud is minimal. Critics, including teachers unions, raise concerns about lack of regulations in private and microschools, questioning dropout rates and overall results.
