DUSD Override

Letters: Good schools mean higher property values

Posted

As a local real estate agent, I know the Dysart Unified School District is one of the more desirable neighborhoods in West Valley.

Many of my clients ask to look at homes in Dysart because of the outstanding reputation and quality of education our schools provide. Homes in our area sell quicker than in neighboring communities and home values continue to climb. Because of Dysart schools, residents can be proud to know their investment in their home is secure and steadily growing.

The proposed override is not a new tax; rather, a continuation of support our community has already implemented. A “yes” vote will offset staggering state budget cuts and help guarantee Dysart’s students will have access to the best teachers, the latest technology, resources, and programs for student success, both today and into the future.

I have had the privilege of serving the children of this community as a Girl Scout leader and PTA volunteer. I see the value of what great schools can do for kids and families.

I encourage you to help keep the Dysart district strong and support this crucial override so we may maintain Dysart’s top ranking for families and keep our property values high.
