Override Election Results are IN!

Message from Kyrene Superintendent Dr. David Schauer

 

Thank you to the Kyrene School District community!  The results have been tabulated and Kyrene’s override election was successful!

The capital override is a continuation of an existing secondary tax that has been in place for the past 7 years. This allows the district to raise additional funds above and beyond what’s granted by the state specifically for the purpose of supporting technology needs. Those items include several parent communication systems, payroll and transportation software, productivity programs like email, excel, powerpoint and tools for the classroom. What the continuation of this funding effectively does, is allow the primary state dollars to be used for things like teachers, learning supplies and utilities. 

Thanks to the many community volunteers who stepped forward providing time and energy educating voters on this initiative. The Political Action Committee that worked on this effort, was led by Mitzi Epstein, former Kyrene Board member, and we thank her.

Kyrene remains committed to increasing the academic growth of all students. Your support of this vital funding helps us in that work.

David K. Schauer, Superintendent
