Oven mitts: unsafe. Burns: acceptable. According to guidance given to parents by untrained ESA staff at the Arizona Department of Education. Leadership courtesy of @RealTomHorne @azedschools Tom Horne and John Ward. Can’t wait for the 2026 election! @KimberlyYeeAZ @Jellenne

NEW: ESA parents are furious after the Arizona Department of Education mistakenly identified an ESA parent whom Attorney General Kris Mayes had already declined to prosecute. ADE provided State 48 News with the following response: “This went out in error in a rapid response to
🚨Under Superintendent Tom Horne, the Arizona Department of Education disclosed a parent’s name in a case the Attorney General declined to prosecute. ESA families are now raising alarms over a second privacy incident this year. Full story in the comments. @RealTomHorne

Absolutely unacceptable. Jessica Glass just rejected a $2,000 reimbursement after ADE publicly stated that playgrounds and swing sets $2,000 and under will be approved. Yet here we are — another untrained staffer denying items that have already been approved for multiple families

When will @12News & @CraigHarrisNews retract their bogus anti-ESA attacks? Craig blocked us after being exposed for peddling lies—typical of a journalist who can’t survive the truth. It also doesn’t help that @RealTomHorne keeps repeating items that’s were never purchased. We
AZ media begin RETRACTING bogus anti-ESA attacks as @12news @CraigHarrisNews keep peddling anti-parent fiction. ✅ESAs cost thousands $ less per student ❗️Taxpayers spend $15 BILLION more on AZ public schools than ESAs ❗️Arizonans spend 10-20x as much on “wealthy” students in

🚫👀 Don’t chase our kids, Craig.@CraigHarrisNews Creepy Craig the Cello Chaser knew about ADE’s data breach, said nothing, and now has kids’ names & schools—thanks to Tom Horne’s @RealTomHorne comms director skipping due process. #ProtectOurKids @Rach_IC @azedschools

🚨 Unacceptable. 🚨 The @azedschools ADE just admitted to leaking children’s names tied to ESA purchases — that’s not a “technical error,” that’s a gross violation of trust and potentially FERPA. Parents deserve better than excuses. Craig Harris @CraigHarrisNews 12 News @12News

State Auditor just confirmed what ESA parents already know — Tom Horne’s ADE is a disaster. $128M in “school safety” grants handed out on promises, not proof. 15 of 16 schools failed to meet requirements but still got paid. Meanwhile, a SPED student on ESA can’t get the

🚨BREAKING NEWS: Photo just in of Tom Horne @RealTomHorne “hard at work” on educational and ESA issues — glued to social media, deleting comments, and refreshing his feeds. Still no email to 90,000 contract holders, regarding the debit card fiasco and funds “ erroneously” removed

From a parent FB group 👀 ADE says they’re “short-staffed” and “don’t have funding”, yet gave Janelle Wood a $55/hr part time job taxpayer funded travel, meals & lodging. • John Ward – ESA Executive Director: $137,500 a year = $66.11 an hour (full-time). • Janelle Wood – ESA

When will this be communicated via email to the 90,000 ESA contract holders? @azedschools @RealTomHorne What happens if they don’t see this post, will they lose their money since it says “contact immediately”? Has any official email or notice been sent out? Your post makes it
Claims that Class Wallet didn't fix a debit card glitch are false. Claims that ADE did nothing are false. Pure fiction from anonymous cyberspace. 877-969-5536 If your ESA account has not been credited for any erroneous charges, you must contact @ClassWallet immediately.

The @washingtonpost just launched a dishonest attack on Arizona’s school choice program. Here’s the truth: ✅ Nearly 90K students are thriving with ESAs ✅ ESAs help low-income & special needs families ✅ ESAs save taxpayers thousands per child vs. public school The Post’s

Why does this keep happening? Funds are still missing from accounts, yet we have no explanation for how or why it happened—or even how many contract holders were impacted. Now they’re sending out emails with the wrong names attached. This is a complete fiasco, and ADE

SPED ESA debit cards are being declined statewide, no explanation. Before this, the ESA website crashed, blocking parents from uploading year‑end reconciliation docs, also no explanation. Where’s the leadership? ESA Director John Ward refuses to communicate with contract holders.

🚨 We’ve received multiple messages from parents saying SPED students’ ESA debit cards (Akimbo) are being declined. Akimbo is closed until Monday — leaving families unable to pay tutors, classes, or buy required curriculum. @RealTomHorne @azedschools 💳❌ #ESA #SpecialEducation

🚨 ESA families are now being forced to submit invoices monthly instead of quarterly—even though it’s NOT in the law and hurts families relying on discounts or 6–8 week classes. 📉 ADE claims they don’t have staff… yet they made it harder for everyone. This isn’t policy—it’s

Nice try, @CraigHarrisNews . @KimberlyYeeAZ doesn’t run the ESA program — that’s ADE’s job. @azedschools 🧾 Direct from the July 31, 2025 legal response to YOUR records request: ➡️ “The Treasurer does not have financial oversight… her only role is overseeing the contract

🔥 The ESA portal is down on the FINAL day to submit end-of-year docs—families can’t log in, and it’s AFTER HOURS. This failure is putting families at risk of losing funding through no fault of their own. @azedschools @RealTomHorne This isn’t just inconvenient—it’s
