"From kindergarten to graduating as a senior in the Deer Valley Unified School District (DVUSD), my educational journey has been transformative, shaping me into the person I am today. The rigorous academic curriculum, supportive teachers, and diverse extracurricular activities provided by DVUSD have not only nurtured my intellectual growth but also equipped me with valuable skills and opportunities that have paved the way for my personal and future success. Instilling a lifelong love for learning and preparing me for a promising future."

I became a State Representative because I saw that our students, families, and educators deserve better than the level of funding Arizona provides. Whether or not we currently have children in school, we benefit from strong schools that help keep our property values strong, our communities safe, and our economy thriving. However, state funding continues to fall short of meeting the actual costs of education. To bridge this gap, districts like Deer Valley must seek overrides and bonds to cover essential expenses. Thankfully, Deer Valley has created a fiscally responsible plan that will require no property tax increase to meet the needs of our growing community. The bond will provide vital upgrades, including a new school, facility repairs, and advanced technology, creating safe and modern classrooms. The M&O Override is needed to cover 8% of staff salaries, keep classroom sizes manageable, support full-day Kindergarten, and maintain extracurricular and support services. I strongly urge a YES vote on both measures to ensure our students and community continue to thrive. For years, our public schools have not received the funding they need to adequately educate the students they serve, and Arizona continues to rank near the bottom for education funding in the United States.

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 fire service professional for more than 40 years, you count on me Io keep you safe — to answer every 911 call timely, professionally and with be upmost care. I also believe our community expects and supports strong, excelling schools, and that’s why I support the Deer Valley Unified School District bond.

Deer Valley bond funds will be used to:
• Increase student safety and security
• Improve energy efficiency across the district
• Purchase new, energy efficient buses
• Prepare for additional student growth
• Repair and renovate existing school facilities
• Purchase new technology for the classrooms

When the bond is approved, all funds stay in the district AND your property tax taxes WILL NOT increase. I believe one of the best investments we all can make in our community is in our public schools. Reward a quality school district with exceptional academic results. Please vote YES for Deer Valley Unified school bond because Deer Valley students are counting on us. 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.

As a 40 year homeowner in Deer Valley, I urge all DV school district voters to vote YES on our bond election. The 2024 DVUSD bond election will replace a previous bond election that has completed its lifecycle. As a result, this bond election will NOT increase our homeowner tax rates.

This new bond cycle will allow the district to make safety upgrades to older schools built before current best safety practices, put on-on-one technology in all students' hands, and plan for and build schools to meet the exploding growth of our district so that our current schools will not become overpopulated.

Additionally, because Arizona fund capital projects like building, vehicles, and repair/replacement needs so poorly, the bond will be a vital lifeline to replace ancient buses, as well as enable the district to repair or replace items with huge price tags like HVAC systems, roofs, and school grounds.

The bond will allow DVUSD to safeguard its reputation of excellence because its student and its staff.

The Deer Valley Education Association (DVEA) works closely with the Deer Valley Unified School District leadership allowing us a true line of sight into the work of the district's fiscal responsibility. As we have all felt the sting of inflation, our collaborative financial planning has allowed for improved safety measures and facility upgrades across the district.

A YES vote on the Deer Valley Unified School District Bond will continue to improve safety and security throughout the district, extend the life of existing facilities, improve air quality and comfort level for students and staff, improve accessibility for students, staff and visitors, enhance energy efficiency, and protect property values in our communities.

DVEA encourages a YES vote on the Bond to support our students, campuses, and communities. Our students deserve a YES vote.

DVUSD was instrumental in preparing me for college and providing me with the tools necessary for adulthood. I participated in CTE courses at Mountain Ridge High School, namely media productions, which provided me a huge advantage in securing a position with the Office of Information Technology at Brigham Young University. The skills I learned in this high school course laid the foundation for me to be successful in my technology-driven job at a prestigious and world-renowned university.

Additionally, the AP and Dual Enrollment courses I took in high school enabled me to enter college as a freshman with credits already earned toward my degree. The motivated and caring teachers and administrators at DVUSD, along with the challenging and practical academic curriculum, have been invaluable to me as I continue on my collegiate journey.

As a mother and the Mayor of Phoenix, I am passionate about improving the lives of our residents, especially our children. In order to have a vibrant, thriving community, we need to invest in our students' education.

The Deer Valley Unified School District is asking voters to renew an existing budget override and to approve a bond. Voting YES on both measures will provide much-needed funding for the district and will NOT increase your property taxes.

Deer Valley is an exceptional district experiencing tremendous growth. The override provides the funding necessary for staffing and services, as well as classes and programs for students. The bond will increase safety and security, add new technology, complete building repairs and renovations, as well as advance plans to build new schools for incoming students.

We have a civic responsibility to support our students, and I urge you to vote YES for Deer Valley Unified School District budget override and bond elections. Our students are our future leaders, and they deserve our continued support!

As a former DVUSD governing board member for eight years, two as President, I know how critical it is to support its elections.

This November, the communities supported by the Deer Valley Unified School District (DVUSD) will be asked to consider the renewal of an existing budget override and bond. I am writing to encourage support for the renewal of these measures. These measures have already been in place, without increasing taxes. It is critical that the DVUSD continues to have access to these funds to keep up with technology while addressing facility and security needs within the district. Arizona businesses count on strong school districts which require the continued support and investment in our local education. As the father of five children that have been educated through the DVUSD, I have personally witnessed the impact of the quality teaching and programs in this district in particular.

We cannot afford to go backwards in educational support and funding. I encourage you to continue investing in our future and vote YES on the DVUSD Bond and Override.

I whole-heartedly support the DVUSD Bond. This Bond is being presented with a level levy, which means the rate at which properties are taxed will decrease as values increase resulting in a minimal dollar change throughout the district. This essential bond will allow our district to renovate and improve existing facilities, provide technology for every student, upgrade buses, allow for the addition of 2 new schools to accommodate growth in the north valley and significantly enhance the safety and security of our schools, ensuring our students learn in a safe and effective environment.

It is proven that districts and communities that are involved in the maintaining and development of critical infrastructure in their district enjoy a higher-than-normal rate of return on personal property values. Bond measures are equally important as any measure that involves developing better community-based infrastructure, no different than Fire or Police. This year’s Bond is critical to maintain the high level of performance that the community has become accustomed to from DVUSD both for today’s and tomorrow’s student population.

Join me in voting YES for the DVUSD bond.

This commitment extends beyond my role as a board member to my work with Ann E’s Closet, where we provide essential resources to families in our community in need.

The DVUSD bond is a critical investment in our schools. It will fund crucial projects like facility repairs, technology upgrades, safety enhancements, and new school construction. Some of our students come from homes without access to home computers or other educational resources, making it even more important that our schools are equipped to support their needs.

It is important to know that the bond will not increase property tax rates, maintaining our current level of funding. Voting YES is a vote for ensuring all our students have the tools and environment they need to succeed.

Supporting the Deer Valley Unified School Bond is a deeply personal commitment for me, both as a DVUSD School Board Member and a parent of two children in our district. This bond is essential for keeping our schools safe and providing the top rate education DVUSD offers.

For parents like me, this bond is more than just a financial measure—it’s about ensuring our children have access to safe, modern, and supportive learning environments. It will fund key projects such as technology for every student, and safety upgrades on every campus, making sure our schools are well-maintained, secure, and equipped with the latest tools for learning.

A vote YES, this election for the bond will not increase property tax rates, it is a continuation of what property owners are already paying.

As a father of three school aged children in the district, and Councilmember for the City of Peoria, I understand the importance of a quality education. I firmly believe that education is the cornerstone of a thriving society, and we must prioritize ongoing investment in it. One of the primary reasons families move to Peoria is the outstanding opportunities available to us.

The Deer Valley Unified School District Bond will not increase taxes. The bond will be used for essential district- wide improvements and the construction of a new elementary and high school. Given the challenges of modern life, creating a safe and functional learning environment is paramount. Our children deserve the best.

Vote YES for the Deer Valley Unified Bond election 2024. This is NOT a new tax, but a continuation of bond taxes we are already paying to improve and provide technology for students, increase and improve security for our schools, improve and renovate our school buildings, such as new roofs, A/C units, aging building infrastructure, improve energy efficiency and build new buildings when needed. Purchase new school buses and modern equipment for buildings and student programs when needed. The current state funding provided has not come anywhere close to meeting the needs of our school district for decades, forcing us as a community to approve these funds. Our students are our future, they deserve a quality education and facilities that meet today’s requirements and technological needs as well as increased and improved security. Join me and vote YES for this Bond election.

These words express my wholehearted support for the upcoming bond measure for the Deer Valley Unified School District. As an educator, I learned the importance of creating a conducive learning environment for students.

I strongly support this measure because: Approximately 16,000 new housing units will flood the district whose facilities need safety and security enhancements, structural maintenance, improved instructional materials and resources, technology devices for every student, replacing outdated buses, and building a new elementary and high school. The bond will NOT raise taxes and may even increase homeowners’ property values!

Funding provided by this bond is also needed for the safety and academic success of our students, including to keep our schools safe with needed facility maintenance and upgrading security measures, and maintaining a one to-one technology ratio provided to all students. A citizen’s bond oversight committee is in place to ensure funds are spent on time, on budget and as promised!

Please join me in voting YES in support of our schools, at no additional cost to our community. Our students are the future. We owe them the best!
