JUST IN: School choice expansion in Arizona will move forward abc15
PHOENIX — after the group Save Our Schools failed to get enough signatures on a citizens' referendum to put the expansion on hold and turn the issue back over to voters in 2024, according to a brand new statement from Sec. of State Katie Hobbs.
In a tweet Friday morning, Hobbs said,"We have informed the SOS committee that the referendum will not qualify for the 2024 General Election Ballot. While the statutorily required review continues, our office has inspected enough petitions & signatures to confirm that the 118,823 signature minimum will not be met."

— Secretary Katie Hobbs September 30, 2022 Governor Doug Ducey signed the expansion into law back on August 16. Under the expansion, all Arizona K-12 students will have access to what's known as an"Empowerment Scholarship Account" or ESA, which allows families to use funding that would have gone to public schools for a variety of other approved education options, such as private schools, home education, or tutoring.
