Even though the Chandler Unified School District Governing Board voted unanimously to approve its annual budget and tax rate July 10, it wasn’t without a long discussion.
Having voted in June to publish its intent to approve a $410 million budget for the 2024-25 budget year, and to commit to that maximum budget, the board gave that document final approval at the July 10 meeting, along with the district’s secondary property tax rate for the year.
Board member Kurt Rohrs reiterated his position that the total dollar amount of annual tax collections by CUSD is a more valuable statistic than rates the district chooses to set.
