Boyer ESA Expansion

Republican Senator Paul Boyer is sponsoring a radical expansion of private school vouchers that will be heard in committee today. If passed, SB1657 would become the largest expansion since the Prop 305 proposal was rejected by the voters of Arizona in 2018. As it's written, over 70% of students could be eligible for private school vouchers.

Arizonans already said NO to public funding of private education. Chip in $15 today so we can flip the legislature this year.

SB1657 would give a voucher to any student who attends a school district that exceeds the Aggregate Expenditure Limit (AEL), implements a student mask mandate, or whose parents are veterans, first responders or health professionals, or to any low-income students.

​​"SB 1657 is written so broadly that it would make at least 70% of Arizona students eligible for private school vouchers," says Beth Lewis of Save Our Schools Arizona.

95% of Arizona families choose public schools and Arizona students deserve a state legislature that invests in their future. That’s why we must deliver a Democratic majority this November. Can you chip in $10 today?
