WHY NOW?
This November election, the Deer Valley Unified School District Bond and M&O Override are on the ballot. This funding directly impacts Deer Valley students’ education, safety, and futures. We can’t afford to vote no.
WHAT'S A BOND?
A bond provides funding for capital projects. Bonds are sold to investors and paid overtime from property tax collections. This bond is designed to do all this without increasing your tax burden.
WHAT'S AN M&O OVERRIDE?
The M&O Override equips DVUSD with the resources needed to supplement the school funding that our district receives from the state and helps fund full-day kindergarten.

SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS
Supporting the bond and override for our school district is an investment in our community’s future and a direct vote in favor of our children’s success. By voting yes, you are championing initiatives that will provide safe, state-of-the-art learning environments, reduce overcrowding, maintain and improve school facilities, and ensure access to quality education including full-day kindergarten, arts, and athletics.
SUPPORTERS
Now, we have the opportunity to help Deer Valley students by voting YES to continue its maintenance and operations (M&O) override and YES to approve a bond to address student growth and repair and maintain its facilities.
The District has operated with an override in place for many years and uses this funding for salaries, programs and services for students. The bond is needed to improve student safety, build new schools, repair existing facilities and add technology. Both issues are renewals and will not increase your property tax rate.
Please join me in continuing to support Deer Valley. Your YES votes for the bond and override will enable the district to continue operating at current levels and maintain its academic excellence.
As a former Governing Board member, I cannot express the feeling of making hard decisions about cutting programs, elective classes, etc. because the district can no longer properly fund the resources necessary to support it.
A YES vote will alleviate that hard decision from the current board and allow them to focus on other important issues at hand.
And now, as both a community member and parent, I understand that this override funding provides the opportunities our children need to succeed in a global economy - I want my children to have the best resources available, and I know others do as well.
We have an opportunity to make our voices count for the betterment of our families and our district.
Please join me in saying yes to wise investments that improve not only school quality but also property values, at no additional cost to this community.
