Having been rejected by voters last November, Higley USD is going back for another shot at it on the ballot with a slimmed-down package that focuses on a few priorities.
This package is for $77.2 million of bonds, down from $95 million last year, and this one carries no secondary property tax increase with it at $1.31 per $100 assessed valuation. It also has fewer categories for use of the bonds: major projects, technology, major maintenance and safety and security.
Those four categories were the ones endorsed by residents in a survey the district conducted after voters rejected its 2021 bond package.
