In Their Words: TVHS Teachers

Open Letter to the Tanque Verde Community from
Advanced Placement and Duel Enrollment Teachers at TVHS:

This November, you are being asked to vote for increased education funding through Proposition 466. Passage of this override measure will do much to support our schools and our students, with virtually no change in the current tax for TVUSD households.

In its relatively short existence, Tanque Verde High School has solidified a reputation for academic rigor. Our students have the opportunity to pursue advanced study in a number of different disciplines. This year, the high school was named to the AP District Honor Roll, in recognition of an increase in both enrollment and achievement in these college-level classes.

In order to maintain this standard, the necessity of new funds from Proposition 466 cannot be overstated. These funds make it possible for
us to offer focused AP and DE classes to smaller groups of students. Without them, budget constraints could necessitate the elimination of many of these important programs. We ask you to support our mission to prepare students for the future by passing the override measure on November 6.



Please vote YES on Proposition 466, and invest in the future of TVUSD students!

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
