THE AHS PTO PROUDLY SUPPORTS THE SUSD D.A.A. OVERRIDE |
|
What is the SUSD QUESTION on the November 8th Ballot?
Arizona public schools receive $4,415 less per student than the national average. 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. SUSD 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
Vote YES on the SUSD DAA Override
Mailed ballots deadline Next Tuesday Nov 1st
-or-
vote in person on November 8, 2022
