Save Our Schools AZ Why don't you fix AZ schools they are in the bottom 10 in the the USA!

📉 Supt. Horne falsely claims that ESA #vouchers aren’t draining Arizona’s budget and that the ADE has a surplus. However, vouchers are already more than $100 million over budget — and growing! #VoucherWatch kjzz.org/content/187016…

😲 The ADE is moving numbers around trying to fit a false narrative. Arizona taxpayers deserve the truth: #Vouchers are robbing our public schools & our state budget.

📑 The playbook is clear — Discredit, Defund & Dismantle public education. Billionaire special interests are pushing this playbook across the country, using ESA #vouchers and the false promise of school choice to line their pockets by dismantling public schools. #VoucherWatch
