The Private School Bill
Allows private school families to stack state voucher money
STOs; ESAs; student eligibility
Bad for everyday people ·
This bill lets parents collect two different types of state-funded private school vouchers for the same child at the same time.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Right now, Arizona law says families must choose between an Empowerment Scholarship Account or a tax-credit scholarship. This bill crosses out that rule. By letting parents stack both payouts, it funnels even more taxpayer money toward private schools. This drains resources from the general fund and public schools where most kids learn.
