Queen Creek Council Members: Support school bond

Posted

We write this letter in support of the QCUSD bond as individuals and residents of the Town of Queen Creek.

The renovations to existing schools made possible by the bond passage will help to sustain our vision and desire to keep QC as one of the most desirable communities in the nation!

The three of us moved to QC at a time when it looked quite different than it does now. One thing that remains the same is the quality of our schools. QC schools are some of the best in the state and we support the bond that will provide needed resources to keep up with out community’s rapid growth.

We three have served on the Queen Creek Town Council for more than a decade and have seen the town grow while maintaining it’s neighborly, family-friendly culture.

Queen Creek Unified has grown with us, accommodating our families who choose to come to our town and call it home. Our economic development leaders and Realtors know school districts are a driving factor in the success of future workforce opportunities, businesses, and the value of our investments!

The outstanding reputation of Queen Creek schools has served as an incentive to draw these new businesses and families here.

Queen Creek Schools have proven that they spend our property taxes responsibly with the thoughtful construction of Eastmark High School, Crismon High School and several elementary schools; keeping up with
anticipated growth to provide educational opportunities where they are needed most.

The overall tax rate for Queen Creek schools has decreased in the last 10 years, and this investment will ensure the town can continue to
offer quality education, small class sizes and safe schools for our current and future families.
