Solange Whitehead Scottsdale councilwoman

Please join me and vote yes on the Scottsdale Unified School District (SUSD) override. The override will not increase taxes. A yes vote maintains current funding and that is critical for student successes and for maintaining Scottsdale’s value. 

A yes vote is a smart investment because great public schools benefit everyone. SUSD graduates have become engineers, doctors, teachers, firefighters, police officers, researchers, electricians, artists, innovators and leaders.

High-rated public schools are linked to higher property values and desirability of an area, too. Scottsdale Unified School District has a track record of being one of the best school districts in the state. To maintain the current quality of education, we must retain  current funding levels.   

The override dollars will remain in SUSD schools with 90% of those dollars being spent in classrooms.   

I am a proud mom of three SUSD grads. I support the override because I want our community and children to continue to thrive and prosper. Please invest in Scottsdale with me and cast a yes vote on the SUSD override.
