As a retired superintendent of Fountain Hills Unified School District, and having two granddaughters who attend school in the district, I urge voters to support the upcoming bond and override this November.

Passing these issues will help to provide funding for much-needed renovations and improvements to the District’s buildings, technology and student transportation. Much-needed upgrades in safety and security measures will be implemented as well. A more in-depth explanation of how these funds will be utilized is given on the District website. I encourage you to access this information to help make an educated decision on voting yes to support our District.

Our schools are a direct reflection of our community. Passing these initiatives will demonstrate that we want to support and provide for our children to keep our community vibrant and strong. Because your vote is vital for the health and welfare of our community and schools, I urge you to vote yes on these issues.
