Roadblocks To School Choice

#schoolchoice

In this conversation from "School Choice With Steve Yarbrough", Steve discusses the recent election in Arizona and the election of Katie Hobbs, a Democrat who has expressed her intention to impede progress in education. Steve mentions that Katie Hobbs, who was the minority leader during his tenure as president of the Senate, is hostile towards school choice.

He dismisses her claim that school choice will bankrupt the state and explains that there are multiple sources of funding for public education in Arizona, including the state general fund, local taxes, the State Land Trust, and potential federal funds. He argues that the average cost per student in a public school is over $14,000, while the scholarship tax credit and ESAs (Education Savings Accounts) range from $6,500 to $7,000, saving taxpayers money.

Steve suggests that the hidden agenda behind opposition to school choice may be the influence of the teachers unions, who are driving the narrative and have various other groups supporting their cause. He emphasizes that school choice is beneficial for students and should be prioritized in Arizona.
