The Dysart Unified School District is partnering with local cities and organizations to provide several meeting options to the community to learn facts and get questions answered about the Nov. 5 bond election.

There will be a brief presentation of factual information relating to the bond by Dysart representatives, and then an opportunity for attendees to ask any questions they may have.

The first meeting is at 6 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 19 at Asante Library, 16755 W. Verada Solana Drive.

Other sessions are as follows:

• 10 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 24, hosted by Surprise District 2 at Grand Agua Fria Room (Sun City Grand), 17100 W. Clearview Blvd.
• 5 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 25, hosted by El Mirage at El Mirage Senior Center, 14010 N. El Mirage Road.
• 6 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 25, hosted by Surprise District 2 at Cimarron Springs Middle School, Media Center, 17032 W. Surprise Farms Loop S.
• 10 a.m. Friday, Sept. 27, hosted by Surprise District 2 at AZ Traditions Ballroom, 17225 N. Citrus Road.
• 10 a.m. Monday, Oct. 7, hosted by PORA in the PORA Conference Room, 13815 W. Camino Del Sol.

The bond program would be $127 million to fund safety and security improvements, school bus replacements, facility renovations at each site, construction of a new elementary school and land for a new high school in the northwest Asante area.

If approved, the bond tax rate would drop to approximately half of the current rate beginning in 2029 due to the 2006 bond phasing out.
