Good morning! It’s Melissa with Chalkbeat Tennessee.
Our colleague Lily Altavena brings us an interesting story this week from Arizona, which has long been a proving ground for the school choice movement. A state court killed a ballot measure that could have brought more oversight to Arizona’s school voucher program, the latest signal nationwide that enacting new rules for longstanding universal school choice programs can be an uphill battle despite some voter appetite for reform.
Also, we’re running a back-to-school membership campaign to invite readers who value Chalkbeat’s reporting to help sustain it. If our journalism helps you understand what’s happening in schools and why it matters, consider becoming a member today so our reporters can do this work all year long. Support Chalkbeat.
A new school year needs strong local reporting. Help Chalkbeat’s reporters keep asking the questions that matter.
