Video by Dr. David Shauer, Superintendent of the Kyrene School District, Regarding Override Election

· To continue funding previously voted into place in 2005

· Wording on the ballot says, “Allow district to exceed budget limit”

· Rest assured that the district is required by law to balance budget every year

· Will not spend any more money than they have

· It is a continuation of support

Dr. Shauer walked through classrooms in district and witnessed:

· Examples of Technology in the classroom

· Technology makes “Learning come alive” for students

· Students using document cameras, smart boards

· Students benefit tremendously from technology in the classroom

· Funding from override provides training needed to allow teachers to effectively integrate these technology tools into their classrooms

· Provides systems allowing the district and parents to be effective and efficient; such as Parent Portal (access & monitoring student progress, grades)
