Queen Creek Unified School District’s superintendent sent a letter to parents and educators this morning acknowledging that the $98 million school bond issue and the continuance of the current 15% maintenance and operations budget override have been turned down by voters.
“As you may have heard, it appears that funding for QCUSD through the bond and override were not approved, though these results are still pending official confirmation from the Maricopa County Recorder's Office,” stated QCUSD Superintendent Perry Berry. “We are an A-Rated school district because of the dedication and hard work of our educators, our students, and the support of our families. I am honored to serve as your superintendent and I look forward to continuing the great work that we do together in empowering every student to engage, excel, and lead with integrity.”
With early results in, more than 60%, or 6,924 residents, cast their votes against the school bond. By comparison, there are 4,524 “yes” votes at just more than 39%.
