Higley USD’s second straight attempt at a bond is going worse than its 2021 attempt, with the bond trailing 58%-42% in the results released Wednesday.
This bond attempt is smaller at $77.2 million and has no tax rate increase but its early results lagged behind what the final results in 2021 were. That $95 million ask, which had a one-year tax rate increase before receding to the previous rate, lost by nine points.
District officials trimmed out transportation and paying off one of the district’s two burdensome middle school leases on this round, based on surveys of voters.
