According to the state, tens of thousands of students are currently in non-public schools Let's assume it is 20,000 students..

It's much higher if this chart is accurate.

PAR’s analysis assumes, based on the experience of Arizona, that about 4% of public school students would enroll in the ESA program. These students would create a net cost of $39 million. Based on the explosive growth in universal ESA programs as well as the growth of the TOPS college tuition program once income limits were removed, the analysis also assumes that 80% of parents with children in private schools would eventually use ESAs. Little downside exists for those families since those students can stay where they are but with newly obtained state assistance.

Current voucher students are excluded as there wouldn't be a cost difference.
