Delivering a Nazi salute is an unacceptable endorsement of an ideology that is responsible for millions of deaths. Kimberly Fisher should apologize to the DVUSD community and step down. 2/

49th in education spending. Arizona's kids and teachers deserve a lot better than that. Public schools here are already underfunded and school vouchers are making it worse. Iβm fighting to protect public education, because students in Arizona and across the country deserve to have the same opportunities I did.

Arizona's largest #teachers union is pushing for accountability on private school and #homeschool vouchers. Marisol Garcia with the #Arizona Education Association (@ArizonaEA) says the initiative isn't meant to end the ESA program β it just regulates it.

The report also noted that @RealTomHorne used $10 million from the Arizona Legislature to promote the ESA program instead of using the money to hire additional auditors. Horne has blamed Gov. @katiehobbs for not giving him enough staff to crack down on fraud.
May 13
The report further stated that the @azedschools failed to act on fraud-detection assistance offered by ClassWallet, the private company that processes ESA claims.
Report indicates ClassWallet provided @RealTomHorne with numerous examples of parents who misused ESA funds.

A new Arizona Auditor General report finds the the percentage of misspending in the state's Empowerment Scholarship program was a stunning 34 percent, based on a sample of transactions from July 23-October 25.
The report also is highly critical of @RealTomHorne management....

Our educators do some of the toughest and most important work in Arizona, helping every student learn, grow, and thrive. Thatβs why Iβm fighting to get our schools the support they need.
So happy to be part of @ArizonaEAβs annual event today.

Rep. Matt Gress is gainfully employed as a lobbyist for this organization, which is now pushing an education agenda in Arizona. Conflict of interest?
Arizona's 12News ran with a claim that 20% of Arizona ESA spending was fraudulent.
The actual fraud rate? 0.3% -- confirmed by a Stanford PhD statistician analyzing a random sample of 3,000 accounts.
That's not journalism -- that's an AGENDA.
