GOP lawmakers mull special session for school voucher deal with teachers union

Republican lawmakers in Arizona are considering a special legislative session to broker a deal on the state's school voucher program, potentially sidelining both a Republican-led ballot initiative and another from public school advocates. This move indicates a significant shift in strategy as lawmakers aim to reach a compromise with the teachers union. The outcome could reshape the debate around school vouchers, which have been contentious, and may signal a willingness to negotiate rather than push through contentious measures. This development is crucial as it could set a precedent for future education policy negotiations.
