Parent Testimony: Vanessa Ozuna, Arizona
“The ESA scholarship has allowed me to fulfill a lifelong dream of being able to homeschool my children. We live in a rural town that takes 20 minutes to drive to our local elementary school. Because our town is so small, we are not technically deemed a ‘city.’ So, we do not receive the typical funding you can expect in a metro area for instance. Because of this we are expected to buy everything on our own and as you can imagine the school is not the best rated due to the poor funding received.” Read her story.
