Arizona offering families up to $7k for issues stemming from school closures
Fox News
Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey on Tuesday announced a new program that would give qualifying families who are struggling with unexpected school closures up to $7,000 for children's educational needs.
"Every state should follow Arizona's lead," Corey DeAngelis, national director of research at School Choice Now, told Fox News. "If a Safeway doesn't reopen, families can take their money elsewhere. If a school doesn't reopen, families should be able to take their children's education dollars elsewhere. In fact, families should be able to take their children's education dollars elsewhere regardless. Education funding is meant for educating children, not for protecting a particular institution."
He added that funding "students, not systems … is the only way out of this mess."
