Last June, the Flagstaff Unified Governing Board passed resolutions calling for special elections for District voters to consider a budget override and bond program as part of the 2022 General Election. An Information Pamphlet, published by the office of the Coconino County School Superintendent in conjunction with FUSD, has been mailed to district voters to provide factual information regarding the Override and Bond elections. More information regarding the Override and Bond is available on the FUSD website at: www.fusd1.org/bondandoverride.
Proposition No. 447 requests voter authorization to exceed the Maintenance and Operations Budget Limit by 15% of the revenue control limit to fund existing programs which challenge and prepare students for success for a period of seven years. Overrides in Arizona must be renewed every five years, or they begin a two-year phase down with complete elimination after the seventh year if not renewed. The existing override is scheduled to begin a phase down in the 2024-2025 year unless renewed by voters.
This override supports the District’s efforts to help maintain and enhance present levels of service:
Ensuring compliance with State mandates
Maintaining current class sizes
Full-day Kindergarten (currently funded by State for ½ day)
Art, Music, and Physical Education in elementary schools
Extra-curricular programs
Gifted Education, Advance Placement, International Baccalaureate, and STEM programs
Maintaining all current programs and services to the extent possible
The estimated secondary tax rate needed to fund the full override is approximately equal to the existing secondary tax rate for the current override. Since this is a continuation of the current override, property owners will not experience an additional tax increase because of the override.
Proposition No. 448 requests voter authorization for the Flagstaff Unified School District to issue general obligation bonds in principal amount not to exceed $100 million to provide funds for the following purposes:
Constructing school buildings
Renovating school buildings
Purchasing pupil transportation vehicles
Acquiring by purchase or lease school lots
Improving school grounds, including adjacent ways thereto
Supplying school buildings with furniture, equipment and technology
Liquidating indebtedness incurred for the purposes set forth herein
Providing all utilities and other capital items necessary for the construction and renovation of school buildings and for improving school grounds
Paying all architectural, design, engineering, project and construction management and other costs incurred in connection with the purposes set forth above
Paying all legal, financial and other costs in connection with issuance of the bonds
The estimated secondary tax rate needed to fund the $100 million bond program is an increase of 35 cents per $100,000 of net assessed valuation per month from the current rate.
Please share this information with others (family, colleagues, neighbors) and direct others to FUSD website at www.fusd1.org/bondandoverride for more information about the Override and Bond.
