@KelliButlerAZ@AZSparky911@CraigHarrisNews@azedschools More oversight is fine, but the anti ESA crowd is willing to prevent a 100 kids from receiving the help they need if it means preventing 1 case of fraud. They should be asking why a bill requiring 60% of funding reaches the classroom is even needed.
@AZSparky911@KelliButlerAZ@CraigHarrisNews It's cause it's more work and costly for the district and they have no incentive to actually help the child. A student that's diagnosed now needs an IEP plan along with additional funding for that plan. That student is now a financial and physical burden to them.
@KelliButlerAZ@CraigHarrisNews Parents have to submit paperwork from psychologist/dr. to the district in order to receive any additional funding, and the funding in my experience doesn't even touch the expenses for tutoring and OT professionals.
@KelliButlerAZ@CraigHarrisNews So your belief is that doctors are committing medical fraud in order for parents to get ESA funding? That sounds like an accusation that goes a lot deeper than ESA.
@arizona_sos A family with 1 kid making $149k is not rich, but a family with 4 kids making $150k is rich? There was zero thought process put into the income cap.
@AZturningblue@JasonBedrick@CraigHarrisNews@12News Have you tried going through the state? My wife and I paid out of pocket to have our daughter tested and diagnosed because the state takes too long to follow through with their assessment and diagnosis. We wanted our child to receive help now, not in a year.
@azesamemes All the state has to do is offer the teachers union a kick back from every ESA account, and then the anti ESA crowd will become the biggest proponents of it.
@JasonBedrick@Tommy_USA As an ESA family, I couldn't care less about reporting a state test that my kids already take. Biggs meddling and the state GOP failed us ESA families.
I can't imagine voting for Biggs or an incumbent GOP member at this point.
