SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. \u2014 Scottsdale Unified School District voters will decide this November whether to approve a $375 million bond measure after the district\u2019s governing board unanimously approved the proposal Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

\n

In a 5-0 vote, board members agreed to send the measure to voters during the November election.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

District leaders say the funding would help pay for projects across the district, including security upgrades, aging infrastructure repairs, technology improvements and campus modernization efforts. Officials said a majority of the funding would go toward what the district calls \u201clearning environment improvements.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The proposal was originally expected to cost more than $416 million before district officials reduced it to $375 million.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

According to district estimates, the proposed bond would increase the property taxes on a $500,000 home by about $13 per month.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

District officials also outlined how funding would be distributed among school communities. Desert Mountain Learning Centers would receive the largest share at 28%, while Arcadia and Saguaro Learning Centers would each receive the smallest share at 14%.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Supporters of the proposal say the funding is necessary to maintain school facilities and keep campuses safe and competitive for students and families.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

However, in a survey,\u00a0parents and community members raised concerns about the proposal, questioning whether now is the right time for a large funding request as enrollment declines in parts of the district.<\/p>\n

\n

The proposal also comes after the district approved a plan to close two schools, while discussions continue surrounding possible future school consolidations and closures.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

If approved by voters, district officials say a bond oversight committee would supervise spending through monthly meetings and reviews.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

This would not be the first major bond approved by Scottsdale voters. In 2016, voters approved a $229 million bond package\u00a0that funded school rebuilds, transportation improvements, security upgrades and campus renovations across the district.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Arizona school districts often rely on voter-approved bonds and overrides to fund major capital projects and infrastructure improvements that are not fully covered through state funding.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Scottsdale Unified voters will make the final decision on the proposed bond measure during the November election.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
