I have had multiple opportunities to work with leadership in the Paradise Valley Unified School District and have always been impressed with their dedication to student success and community involvement, as well as their commitment to conservative fiscal stewardship of funds received from taxpayers.

As an alumnus of Paradise Valley Unified School District schools, I appreciate the rigorous, quality education PVUSD provided that also helped instill in me a dedication to serving our community.

As state legislators, we support PVUSD’s request to continue this M&O override. Despite recent efforts to increase funding from the state, education budgets in Arizona have barely returned to levels seen prior to the recession of more than a decade ago.
Sen. Christine Marsh, Legislative District 28
Rep. Judy Schwiebert, Legislative District 20

There is indisputable evidence that good schools are key to economic development, and it is to all of our benefit to support the schools in our communities. What’s more, because of the district’s expanded tax base – showing just how desirable the PVUSD area is as a place to live and work – there is no expected increase in the tax rate for taxpayers.

As the President of PV’s United Parent Council and the mother of three PV students, I have heard from families throughout the district supporting this override and ask, on their behalf, that you join us in voting YES!
Kea Carota
President, Paradise Valley United Parent Council

The Paradise Valley Unified School District is a key partner as we work to build Phoenix's knowledge economy. As Mayor and the mother of a young son, I encourage you to vote yes on this override so that we can make sure all our students have access to the teachers and curriculum they need to succeed.

As a business owner and Scottsdale City Council member, I understand the intrinsic value good schools bring to their communities. As the parent of three students, currently in the Paradise Valley Unified School District, I remain as enthused about the educational and extracurricular opportunities they have in their schools as the day they each began their scholastic journeys of excellence.

The quality of education, like health care, largely rests on the shoulders of those who provide it. Continuing this override is crucial to sustaining the district’s ability to provide competitive salaries and resources to attract and retain the high-quality teachers and staff our students and families deserve.
