It's reckless and frustrating that Senate Democrats voted against a commonsense school safety proposal from one of their own colleagues. Why would Democrats not want to report life threatening incidents on campus to parents and staff within 24 hours? azed.gov/communications…

It's "ridiculous" to say that 20% of ESA purchases under $2,000 were fraudulent, according to Tom Horne, Arizona's superintendent of public instruction. @BroomheadShow

Empowerment Scholarship Accounts are one of Arizona's greatest achievements for students and families. The 20% fraud claim is outrageous and flat wrong. azcentral.com/story/news/pol…

“A ridiculous figure of 20 percent fraud has been circulating concerning ESA purchases which resulted from a total misinterpretation of data provided to Channel 12. The 20 percent figure represented program participants that ADE had selected for risk-based auditing,” said Horne in a press release. “Continued use of the 20% fraud allegation is an outrageous misrepresentation to the public that must stop.”

Newsrooms: Video of Horne comments is available here: youtu.be/48nYUpuqc3U ADE Corrects False Claim regarding alleged 20% inappropriate ESA expenditures About 2% of purchases are unallowable expenses and only 0.3% represent fraud or egregious purchases Link: azed.gov/communications… Contact: Communications@azed.gov

The controversy over ESA's seem to never go away. We get more clarification from the superintendent about ESA purchases and what needs to be done to fix the system. Do you think ESA's are broken? More at @KTAR923 YouTube Channel.

This is unacceptable. Students have the First Amendment right to peacefully protest but it should be done after school hours. Teachers and other school personnel should not be a part of a protest during class time.

Regarding religious liberty in AZ K-12 schools: "According to @RealTomHorne, many diversity, equity and inclusion elements “violate widespread religious beliefs, such as urging students to change genders, age-inappropriate sexual lessons, and other elements that may demean a student’s religious beliefs.” - @amerdailyindy arizonadailyindependent.com/2026/02/18/sch…

@RealTomHorne on phones in classrooms: This distraction is driving teachers out of the profession. A new law now bans cell phones in classrooms, a major improvement for education. Full episode is pinned to the top of our profile. #EducationReform #Classroom

@RealTomHorne on school choice: If a child's needs aren't met, parents have the right to find a school that *will* meet them. It's about student needs, not ideology. Full episode is pinned to the top of our profile. #SchoolChoice #Education

Horne announces new federal path to remove DEI from public schools New federal guidance cites Supreme Court decision Link: azed.gov/communications…

Arizona fell from 1st to 2nd in the country for school choice, and it would have fallen lower if our Democrat Governor and Attorney General had their way. I'll never stop fighting for parents to decide what's best for their children!

State Supt. Horne celebrated School Choice Week today at Legacy Charter School in the west Valley. School choice and Arizona go hand in hand since Arizona leads the nation in empowering parents to choose the best school for their child.

Under Arizona’s Empowerment Scholarships, over 80,000 families are empowered to choose an education best for their child!

Every parent should have the right to choose the school that is best for their children. This shouldn't be a partisan issue!

Arizona State School Superintendent @RealTomHorne urged lawmakers to continue efforts to 1) fund school resource officers, 2) eliminate DEI requirements, and 3) raise teacher pay in his annual State of Education address on Tuesday. Horne also touted school choice via Empowerment Scholarship Accounts Watch video in comments.

AMAZING MILESTONE! 100,000 students in Arizona are now getting the education they deserve thanks to Empowerment Scholarship Accounts! That’s a win for AZ families, students, & our future!🎉✏️ Goldwater is committed to ensuring every child has an education that fits their unique needs: savingazkids.com
