Governor Hobbs wants answers from the Arizona Department of Education after a data breach involving the company managing the state's ESA program.
PHOENIX — Governor Katie Hobbs is pressing Arizona Department of Education Superintendent Tom Horne for the ADE's response after a data issue raised security concerns about the state Empowerment Scholarship Account program.
Hobbs' office sent a letter to Horne Friday requesting detailed plans for protecting the personal data of Arizona students and families. The state's Incident Response Team at the Department of Homeland Security was recently activated for a data breach involving ClassWallet, the company that administers the finances of the ESA program. Hobbs' office adds that two ESA officials resigned after the breach, raising concerns about the program's administration and the security of student data.
"The problem has been solved. It was a permission setting error. Once discovered, we took immediate action and corrected the permission setting. Additionally, we performed a database search and concluded no other users were affected. Therefore, this is an isolated incident to a single user."

The impact of climate change on endangered plants and lichenThe Endangered Species Act (ESA) was a landmark protection for rare organisms in the United States. Although the ESA is known for its protection of wildlife, a majority of listed species are actually plants and lichen. Climate change will impact species populations globally. Already-rare species, like those listed in the ESA, are at an even higher risk due to climate change. Despite this, the risk climate change poses to endangered plants has not been systematically evaluated in over a decade. To address this gap, we modified previously existing qualitative assessment toolkits used to examine the threat of climate change in federal documentation on listed wildlife. These modified toolkits were then applied to the 771 ESA listed plants. First, we evaluated how sensitive ESA listed plants and lichens were to climate change based on nine quantitative sensitivity factors. Then, we evaluated if climate change was recognized as a threat for a species, and if actions were being taken to address the threats of climate change. We found that all ESA listed plant and lichen species are at least slightly (score of 1) sensitive to climate change, and therefore all listed plants and lichens are threatened by climate change. While a majority of ESA listing and recovery documents recognized climate change as a threat, very few had actions being taken in their recovery plans to address climate change directly. While acknowledging the threat that climate change poses to rare plants is an important first step, direct action will need to be taken to ensure the recovery of many of these species.
