My lovely blank newsletter

Bobcat Families,

There are just days left to vote in the upcoming election which includes two important measures relating to our students, school, and school community.

In the last election in November 2023, only 9% of our DVUSD parent population turned out to vote. I encourage you to ensure your voice is heard by casting your vote by Tuesday, November 5th.

The two important measures relating to our school community are:

• Special Bond Election to fund items such as safety, security, instructional resources, technology, building renewal, and buses.

• Continuation of the existing 15% Maintenance and Operation (M&O) override. These funds (approximately $33 million over three years) will no longer be available after December 31, 2024 unless approved by voters in the upcoming election. The M&O Override funding supports: Maintaining Class Size, Free Full-Day Kindergarten, Athletics & Arts programs, Specialized Programs for students (Gifted, STEM, Language Immersion), 8% of all DVUSD employees' salaries, Counseling, Nursing, Literacy, and Instructional Technology.

Please visit the District website for more information on the DVUSD Bond and M&O Override. For questions regarding the election, visit dvusd.org/election.

I also want to remind you that the DVUSD District Office (20402 N. 15th Ave., Phoenix 85027) is serving as a ballot drop-off and polling location through Election Day.
