Scottsdale Parent Council supports the passage of Proposition 100. Please read below for information regarding Proposition 100 and its impact on our school district.
Vote YES On Prop. 100
Help SUSD keep $11.4 million in our budget- VOTE YES on Prop. 100. This one penny sales tax will legally expire on May 31, 2013 and will help bring in $1.9 billion over the three to be spent on K-12 education. The last day for voter registration is April 19. Early ballots will be mailed April 22 and Voting Day is May 18! Say YES to our children and their schools- VOTE YES on Prop. 100.
The Arizona Legislature passed an 8 percent cut to education funding. If the one cent sales tax increase ballot measure does not pass, education budgets will be cut another 8 percent. A 16 percent cut, when Arizona ranks dead last in per pupil spending, will have a serious impact on education in this District. Currently, the Arizona legislature provides $3,267.72 per student for base level funding, which equates to $3.02 per hour per student. Scottsdale Unified School District (SUSD) must cut $11 million. If the one cent sales tax does not pass, SUSD will see an additional $11 million loss. Visit www.susd.org for proposed reductions.
