Arizona Taxpayers Fund $200K in Legal Fees for School Administrators
Taxpayers in Arizona are footing the bill for over $200,000 in legal fees to defend school administrators from the Chandler Unified School District, accused of failing to report sexual misconduct. The Arizona School Risk Retention Trust, funded by districts and backed by taxpayers, is covering these costs, including for former administrator Ryan Ridenour, whose licenses were suspended for five years over two cases. The Trust has also funded Ridenours defense in multiple lawsuits and even backed his suit against the state education board, which was recently dismissed. School leaders and experts question if the Trust is shielding administrators from accountability, as it serves 249 districts and colleges and has not been subject to regulatory oversight.
