Parents in the Arizona being smart, taking back their kids' schools

[WhatExit?]

I was really happy to read about "Purple for Parents" and their efforts to take back their kids' schools and thought many of you would be interested and possibly inspired...

Parental rights advocates in Arizona are celebrating huge gains, both in the Legislature and at the ballot box.

Purple for Parents, a parental rights organization, endorsed 38 candidates in November’s school board elections across Arizona and unofficial results show that 20 of them won seats – including two in Scottsdale, one each in Gilbert’s two main districts, one in Chandler and one in Mesa.

Good luck with that. I know a lot of people can’t afford private schools and home schooling is a bit of an imposition on two working parents but would religious schools be a middle option that wouldn’t be quite so left leaning?

Yes. And with tax credits the tuition can be zero or almost zero out of pocket. There are so many options, parents need to ask the schools when looking in to it.

I actually need to lay out a thread with the tax credit thing so I can get my kids tuition paid.. it’s basically free for them via the write off and would help us a lot.

We are doing a private Christian school for our kindergartner, so far it's money well spent! We are not a super religious family but definitely have the core values that a lot of religion is founded on. So far so good on that.

The only private schools we have access to are Christian schools.

But your correct, not everyone can swing it, it for sure is not cheap, we are good but when it's time for my son to go as well , that's going to like a new F250 payment lol. Rough to swallow.

This would be a great thread. I'd like to hear about this as well

My wife was the CFO at Phoenix Christian for many years. She specialized in this, especially when much of the school were inner-city kids whose parents had next to nothing and couldn’t even afford their kids lunch. It’s possible and not as tough as you would think.

For starters:

Our oldest is in first grade at a private christian school here in prescott. We did the tax credit programs for her kindergarten year and then this year we enrolled in the esa funding when it became available for anyone. We are going to acquire a credit on her tuition to carry over for next year that why we made the switch over.

But i will say you should still take advantage of these programs for your state tax write offs as it allows you to decide where your tax dollars go in the state of AZ. Pretty awesome that we have the choice here

Welcome to Empowerment Scholarship Account

ESA Banner.png 75,888Arizona students benefit from an Empowerment Scholarship Account (as of 03/04/24)Parents have the right to choose what’s best for their family and have their education tax dollars pay for the school that meets their child’s needs.

This is available to anyone and everyone for private school tuition assistance.

Free ninety nine doesn't cost you anything but your time to fill out an application and it may be an excellent option for you.

For us it was a no brainer as we were going to get a substantial credit for the next school years tuition.

Its paid out per kid not per family.

Talk to your schools liaison for the matter. But we really like it and it's pretty streamlined.
