Arizona gave families public money for private schools. Then private schools raised tuition. https://www.tucsonsentinel.com/local/report/112723_school_vouchers/arizona-gave-families-public-money-private-schools-then-private-schools-raised-tuition/
Arizona leaders promised families roughly $7,000 a year to spend on private schools, but now, some are hiking their tuition by thousands of dollars, which risks pricing the students that lawmakers said they intended to serve out of nonpublic education options.

@TucsonSentinel @cainmark Unbelievable, and yet, also totally predictable!
“Existing state codes set no requirements for the accreditation, approval, licensing or registration of private schools in Arizona. No public agency tracks the creation of new private schools in the state or what they charge for tuition. The state departments of education and treasury did not respond to repeated public records requests for vendor data on how families have spent their ESA awards.”
