ESA Voucher Costs Video
EXCERPT
This video from SOS Arizona answers the one billion dollar question—do Esa vouchers defund Public Schools? Arizona's K-12 system is based on a complex formula using state federal and local dollars and most school funding comes from the state which is funded by income and sales tax. Arizona state budget is tiny and underfunded in fact it's one of the smallest per capita in the entire United States. Only 44 percent goes to K-12 education which means there's not nearly enough funding for public schools and the 1.1 million students who rely on them. ESA vouchers draw directly from state funding and will siphon one billion dollars away from public schools this year
