In Their Own Words: Lance Clyde

I do not relish any increase in taxation, but investing in the future of our children is a wise choice. A school district that only has enough funds to provide a basic education will only produce students smart enough to pass minimum standards. It will not provide opportunities for students to excel, allowing them to compete in an increasingly complex world.

 Every aspect of our community benefits from the intelligent contributions of those who live here. I believe this is an exponential relationship, and reverberates through all aspects of a community. This principle is most easily observed in property values. People preferentially choose to live where the best school districts are located.

The legislators in Arizona have refused to allocate moneys that the voters of Arizona supported on two different occasions. This resulted in TVUSD necessarily approving a 15% Maintenance and Operations Override. The override funds many of the things that keep TVUSD schools among the best in Tucson. These funds are used for advanced placement classes, career and technical education, orchestra, and other specialists.

Voting in favor of proposition 466 is a logical choice that will cost us something now but will pay many dividends into the future.

As members of the local law enforcement and fire protection public service agencies which serve the Tanque Verde Unified School District community, we care about the safety of students and staff in our local schools. There is a heightened awareness in our community of the need for attention to school security and safety measures. As evidenced by recent tragic events that have occurred at schools across our nation, school districts need resources to secure school campuses and bring them up to meet the standard of the current recommendations for school safety and security. The Tanque Verde school district has been proactively working to evaluate security needs on their school campuses. They have identified issues which will require resources to make the recommended improvements. We are working to keep our community safe. Please support our local schools in their effort to improve school safety and security. Deputy Scott McLeod  School Resource Officer Pima Co
