In Their Own Words: David Bradley

An old AC unit on TVUSD campus 
I stand in strong support of Proposition 467, a proposed bond to benefit Tanque Verde Unified School District (TVUSD).

I can attest to the fact that in Arizona, State funding for new capital projects and current school maintenance has been significantly reduced during the past ten years, amounting to statewide cuts of more than $2.3 billion. For TVUSD, this has resulted in over $4.4 million in cuts. These cuts have led to a backlog of maintenance on buildings with leaking roofs, and equipment such as old and malfunctioning air conditioners. In addition, TVUSD has been forced to utilize outdated structures for some classrooms.

It is of the utmost importance that students today graduate with the skills needed to be contributors to our community and more broadly our State. A YES vote on Proposition 467 will ensure that Tanque Verde Unified School District has the necessary funds to provide adequate facilities and structures to keep students safe, and facilitate ongoing high academic achievement and educational success-things for which TVUSD is well known.


Please vote YES on Proposition 467 for our students, our community, and our State.

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
