Voters may be asked to approve a capital improvements bond worth hundreds of millions of dollars for Scottsdale Unified School District in November.
The district’s governing board got its first official look at the possibility during its meeting April 28.
“Typically a district will pursue a bond every six or seven years to meet facility needs, we’re a decade since the last bond issue was approved in Scottsdale,” Superintendant Dr. Scott Menzel said after the meeting. “We’ve extended the money the voters authorized in 2016 as far as we could, so now we are looking at some substantial needs going forward. If you think about the inflationary impact, those are real costs in order to be able to maintain the assets that the taxpayers have invested in over time.”
