Horne statement on Goldwater Institute lawsuit over ESA curricula

PHOENIX – State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Horne has issued the following statement in support of the lawsuit filed today by the Goldwater Institute on Empowerment Scholarship Account curricula approval requests.

Horne stated, “The Department of Education concedes the argument of the Goldwater Institute. When this issue first arose in July, my concern was that the Attorney General could force Empowerment Scholarship Account holders to return funds if they did not comply with her office’s interpretation of the law. This lawsuit will settle the issue in court and my sincere hope is that the arguments made by Goldwater will prevail.”
