Some Mesa Public Schools high schools date back to the 1960s with Mesa and Westwood as the district’s oldest high schools. Now, the school is seeking more money to improve these schools and others as the district seeks over $449 million.
On the Nov. 3 ballot, Mesa residents will have the option to approve or deny Proposition 419 — a bond of over $449 million for infrastructure, technology and transportation improvements — and Proposition 420, which allows the district to sell, lease or exchange roughly 23 acres of property that is currently vacant.
MPS says the bond would cost taxpayers $0.81 per $100 assessed on property in the district, or about $240 a year for a $300,000 property.
