Higley Schools Blog

Here is the announcement from the Arizona Republic:

The Higley teachers’ association is hosting an informational session Monday about the school district’s seven-year, $4.5 million override that will appear on the November ballot.

Monday’s meeting will start at 7 p.m. at the Power Ranch Clubhouse, 4444 E. Haven Crest Drive in Gilbert, southwest of Germann and Power roads.

Questions? Call teacher association president Dan Lawrence at 480-250-8820.

The override on the November ballot is given this explanation:

Budget override

• Allows a district to spend slightly more than its state-approved budget. The amount of an override is capped through a state formula, the revenue control limit.

Increases funds for certain spending categories. For example, Higley’s override would support maintenance and operations, which mostly covers teacher salaries and classroom costs.
