TUCSON, Ariz. (13 News) - Flooded bathrooms, broken electrical outlets, and falling ceiling tiles could soon be addressed in Sunnyside schools, but only if voters approve a new bond proposal.

Eggebeen teaches eighth-grade social studies at Apollo Middle, where she said flooding bathrooms have become a weekly occurrence, forcing students to walk across campus to find working facilities.
