Dysart Schools schedules bond information sessions in Surprise

Posted

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

Scheduled Dysart bond information meetings are as follows:

  • 6 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 19 - Hosted by city of Surprise District 1 at Asante Library, 16755 W. Verada Solana Drive.

  • 10 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 24 - Hosted by city of Surprise District 2 at Grand Agua Fria Room (Sun City Grand), 17100 W. Clearview Blvd.

  • 5 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 25 - Hosted by city of El Mirage at El Mirage Senior Center, 14010 N. El Mirage Road.

  • 10 a.m. Friday, Sept. 27 - Hosted by city of 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 at 13815 W. Camino Del Sol, Sun City West.

The Dysart governing board called the  bond election during its March 14 board meeting after a unanimous community committee recommendation.

The $127 million bond would be 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.

The community is invited to learn about the 2024 Dysart bond at Dysart.org/Bond2024, as well as detailed information on Dysart’s budgets and annual financial reports at Dysart.org/Budget.
