⚠️ The dangers of unregulated, taxpayer funded microschools are mounting in AZ. There is zero oversight of ESA voucher-funded microschools – no site safety guidelines, no rules for curriculum or teaching, and no background checks.

Coconino Voices: Proposition 320: Look beyond the 60 percent
When voters see Proposition 320 on the November ballot, the requirement that schools spend at least 60% of operational dollars on “direct instruction” may sound straightforward. Who doesn’t want more
