Local Funds That Will Work Locally

We all want our schools to be great places for our kids and to contribute to our community. But politicians in Phoenix have been underfunding our state education budget for the past decade. Thus, it is up to us to make sure we have the local school district we want and our kids deserve. And we can do it.

Voting Yes on Propositions 466 and 467 is a way to locally provide the funds to our schools so that we can get vital improvements in school security, science labs, classroom technology, the buildings and physical infrastructure, and buses; as well as the way to continue to provide funding for libraries, music programs, arts programs, AP and gifted programs, the career and technology education (CTE) classes, and other extracurricular programs.

We will be able to see these funds working locally. Once the ballot measures are approved, our school district will invest in the physical infrastructure as well as continue the art, CTE, athletic, and other extracurricular programs we value.

For accountability and community involvement, the Tanque Verde Unified School District (TVUSD) will also convene a bond committee to oversee the use of the bond funds. These will remain local funds that work locally for our kids and our community.

Vote YES on the two TVUSD education related ballot measures.

Vote YES on Props 466 & 467

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
