Several parents who spoke at the Chandler Unified School District Governing Board’s Oct. 8 regular meeting asked questions to the effect of “If enrollment’s declining, why do you want or need more money?”
In the course of presentations on the district’s current bond and overall financial situations, CUSD chief financial officer Lana Berry ended up answering many of those types of questions — as did some board members.
Berry delivered a bond and override update and a presentation on the annual financial report, which covered several elements of the voter-approved $290 million bond voters approved in 2019 and the $271.5 million the district wants voters to approve next month in a special election.
