Arizona is opening a new investigation into the controversial education program.

PHOENIX — Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes is investigating alleged spending violations in Arizona’s hotly debated private school voucher program, beginning what could be new broad-based scrutiny of the $800 million program.

In response to the letter, Associate Superintendent John Ward wrote on July 3 that the department will respond within two months to a list of data requests. Ward also sent an announcement to ESA families. “It appears that the Attorney General’s Office is advancing an argument that documentation is required for most ESA-related expenses. The legislative record does not support such an overly restrictive view,” Toma wrote in a letter to ADE.Ward noted in his letter to the AG that the practice of allowing parents to purchase supplemental materials “without curricula” began in “the prior administration.” Ward said he would work with the state board of education to change the parental handbook.
