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 November 1st -or- vote in person on November 8, 2022.

AHS Fall Production
Radium Girls
Radium Girls tells the story of the women involved in painting glow in the dark watch dials early in the last century. To achieve a fine point, they would lick the tip of the brush between paintings, tragically poisoning themselves in the process. The play explores their lives, the company they worked for, and the social world of the early 1920s.

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.
