Consider putting your AZ Tax Credit Money to Work
in your Neighborhood
at the International School of Tucson
Individuals may allocate up to $517 and a married couple can allocate up to $1034.
|

You are probably familiar with the concept of the Arizona State Tax Credit Program, which allows individuals to support a school and receive a credit off their taxes. You can direct money to support a school and have that money taken directly off your personal tax payment. In effect you are choosing to allocate your tax dollars to education.
Consider allocating your tax money this year to the
International School of Tucson (IST). The mission of IST is to teach children to be global citizens and appreciate a multi-cultural world. IST is attracting more families every year and it is becoming a model for multi-cultural, bilingual education in our community.
As an individual you can allocate up to $517 of your tax money to IST, and as a married couple you can allocate up to $1034. When you make a donation, you may choose to allocate your donation to the school in general. In this way, your support gives the school the ability to offer more scholarships and to have more unrestricted funding for operational needs. IST will thus be able to continue its mission of providing an excellent international education for its students. You may make your allocation online (
www.IBEscholarship.org) or by check - just be sure to do so before April 15th!
ON-LINE: Please click here to provide your Scholarship support online. Any amount is helpful. Remember to recommend IST.
BY MAIL: Click here to download a form to mail in with your check. You will need to hand write in "The International School of Tucson" on the form before mailing it in.
In both cases you will receive a receipt from EBT.

TPD partners with Jefferson Park
Loud Parties and Red Tags will be reported to UofA
|
The Jefferson Park information flyer about reporting loud parties/unruly gatherings is
here. Tucson Police Dept
Westside Division reviewed the flyer
November 2015. It is an accurate representation
of the law and of reporting procedures you should follow.
Every month TPD Westside division will be forwarding all the exact addresses to which officers were dispatched for unruly gatherings. A JPNA committee is tracking these and sharing with the U of A which has requested the information.
It is hoped this partnership will assist with tracking statistics, helping students modify unlawful behavior, and preventing any escalation of unruly gatherings.
The most recent 80 Crime Incidents are available on the
neighsupport.net
web-site.
Click the link for Crime Incidents (left column). Select Jefferson Park.
The list includes all incidents to which a squad car responded.

KETTLE CORN, HOTDOG VENDORS
along the Grant Road "Central Segments"
Recently, an intrepid Kettle Corn
entrepreneur
set up shop on one of the leveled parcels on Grant Road. Can they do that neighbors wondered? ...imagining a circus of vendors appearing.
The city reports that they would not issue any vendor permits for residential properties. Of course! All the parcels along Grant Road "central segments" (that's Jefferson Park) are R-1 or NR-1 (Neighborhood Preservation Zone). If any vendors show up, they will not have permits, and you may call:
Chris Leighton
Program Coordinator
837-6625,
Project Engineer Beth Abramovitz at 837-6656, or the Ward III office at 791-4711 who will send officers out to explain the zoning.
