What is the DAA OVERRIDE on the November 8th Ballot?
Arizona public schools receive $4,415 less per student than the national average. Luckily, schools can request voters increase funding up to 10% in the form of a District Additional Assistance Override (capital) which lasts for seven years. Our students are currently benefiting from the override approved in 2016.
The current DAA Override is set to expire on June 30, 2024. The District is asking that it be renewed a year ahead so that if it does not pass Nov 8, 2022, it has the option of calling for another election before the funds expire.
2022 District Additional Assistance Override funds would be used to provide:
■ Curriculum materials and school technology
■ School furniture, fixtures and equipment
■ Fine Arts, Athletics and Library equipment & materials
■ Playground equipment and facilities

Staff Appreciation Thank you
Our PTO sponsored a "Taco 'Bout our Titan" Teachers, Staff and Administration lunch on September 28th. Our generous AHS community of volunteers donated delicious food, spent time picking up food and drinks, setting up, serving and cleaning up. Our Arcadia Community enjoyed Tacos from Just Tacos and More! We had homemade Salsas, Guacamole, Flan Cake and Cookies! It was a huge success and we could not do this without the support from our wonderful Arcadia Community!
A big thank you to Jennifer Gutierrez with Arcadia and Leticia Pereda with Ingleside Middle School for helping coordinate with our parent community.
We appreciated the help from our EVIT Students and National Honor Society Students!
Thank you to those that volunteered and/or helped in person:

FAFSA Opens October 1st
Filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, which opens Oct. 1, is one of the most important steps students and their families can take to pay for college. The U.S. Department of Education awarded about $112 billion in federal grants, loans and work-study funds in fiscal year 2021, according to the most recent Federal Student Aid annual report. Those federal funds will assist roughly 10.1 million students in completing their education. Federal financial aid can be given, such as a grant; borrowed; or earned through work experience.
