We spoke to Beth Lewis and Nicky Indicavitch from Save Our Schools Arizona about the state of public education in Arizona. Arizona has a universal voucher program despite the public overwhelmingly voting against it when it came on the ballot. Beth fills us in on the struggles that teachers face as they experience a years-long defunding of public education. Nicky reveals what witnessing that process felt like as a parent watching her childrens’ schools face repeated budget cuts. They offer us new perspectives on what a voucher program would mean to families and what it looks like as a taxpayer to see those collective funds used for frivolous expenses. Finally, both Beth and Nicky generously share kind words and encouragement for Texans and caution us not to compromise. They, and their organization, are incredible resources for understanding the reality of the voucher scam.
