PHOENIX — Arizonans may have at least two choices in deciding what reforms — if any — to put on the state’s voucher program.
A group called Fortify AZ has filed the paperwork with the Secretary of State’s Office to collect signatures to put a measure on the November ballot to impose some guardrails on how money is spent by parents in the Empowerment Scholarship Account program.
That includes not only setting up a system to screen purchases by parents who use the $7,400 per student vouchers of taxpayer funds to homeschool their children — instead of using the cash for tuition to private or parochial schools — but an extensive list of what they cannot buy with those funds.
