Funding for Student Safety Pending Special Bond Election
The Deer Valley Unified School District’s Governing Board called for a 2013 Special Bond Election in the amount of $158,315,000 to fund safety, security, efficiency, and modernization projects through the year 2020. Safety is a top priority for DVUSD and some district schools are now 30 years old.
The cost to the owner with a home assessed at $100,000 would be an estimated $69 per year. This funding is being structured to not increase the projected tax rate.
Bond funding could allow the district to install safety and security camera systems on school campuses and replace the 10-12 unairconditioned buses that are transporting students every day.
The state has cut capital funding for the past five years, causing steep budget deficits for DVUSD schools.
Members of a Political Action Committee, DV Votes 4 Kids, are working to gather support for the Bond Election and can be reached at dvvotes4kids@gmail.com.
