In Their Words: TVUSD Governing Board

-
Over the past 10 years, the Tanque Verde Unified School District's budget has weathered reductions in state support exceeding $4.4 million. We remain a top-ranked public school district thanks in large part to our community's commitment to education and to continued approval of our Maintenance and Operations Override.

Your YES vote for this override will NOT create an increase in your tax rate; it is a continuation of the budget overwrite already in place. This budget override is not a luxury, it is a necessity. Should the community fail to pass this override, it will adversely impact the District's ability to provide instruction in art and music, and will cause reductions in library, health services, instructional support, and an increase in class sizes.

We encourage members of the community to vote "YES" to approve the override. This budget override funding is vital to ensure the continued high level of educational achievement in our schools, which enhances property values across our community.

We urge you to vote YES on November 6th.

Respectfully submitted,
Tanque Verde Unified School District Governing Board

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
