We encourage you to vote yest twice in the November election for the Fountain Hills School District “District Additional Assistance” override (DAA) and the 2022 bond program. Please continue the tradition of rallying around our local district.

The District Additional Assistance override does exactly what it says: It provides $750,000 each year to fund ongoing capital needs for Fountain Hills Unified School District that cannot otherwise be paid for by state allocation. It includes purchases like technology upgrades of software/hardware, textbooks, replacement furniture and equipment, special needs transportation vehicles and more. This is the replacement of an existing tax, and all of the funds go to Fountain Hills District public schools. It will last for seven years, an investment in the supporting infrastructure and tools that must be made to keep Fountain Hills schools A+.

The capital bond program addresses needed significant major improvements to schools being used now. Nearly 75% of the funds will go to building renovations and additions to existing schools. 15% will address upgrades to safety and security on and around campuses and inside the buildings. The remainder will address current needs for athletic facilities and the pupil transportation facility and vehicles.

Support these investments for your hometown Fountain Hills schools. They are important to the health of our schools and our community. In the November 2022 election vote yes for the Fountain Hills Schools DAA override and yes for the Fountain Hills School District bond program! Look for these two issues on your ballot.
