We heard complaints were piling up.  At a recent meeting, results of some of the investigations were shared.  The local Red for Ed cheerleading media was silent; it kind of blows the anti-school choice narrative they dream about.  However, a local Twitter\/X account has been digging through the complaints and results.  For anyone who can access Twitter\/X, read the documents @ALegalProcess has redlined in his threads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\udce2AZ BoE | Enforcement Actions:<br>Board resumes disciplines amid wave of teacher misconduct.<br>Whopping\ud83d\udea8 41% \ud83d\udea8of voluntary surrender cases involve sexual interest in minors:<br>\u27a1\ufe0f23 voluntary surrenders <br>\u27a1\ufe0f4 revocations <br>\u27a1\ufe0f5 negotiated settlements<br>\u27a1\ufe0f12 revocations in pipeline<br>\ud83e\uddf5\u2b07\ufe0f <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/elnj1kqUjY\">https:\/\/t.co\/elnj1kqUjY<\/a><\/p>&mdash; TheLegalProcess (v2.0 | Post-Election Ed) (@ALegalProcess) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ALegalProcess\/status\/1694367720580764105?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 23, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no coincidence the sexual exploitation of children in Arizona is growing due to the practices of staff and administration within most school districts.
