PHOENIX – Twenty school districts and trade school West-MEC will have bonds, overrides or real estate sales on the ballot on Nov. 4.
Bonds are borrowed money that the school district pays back over time, used for long-term projects like new buildings or physical repairs.
Meanwhile, overrides refer to voter-approved plans that use additional tax revenue to pay for short-term programs like teacher salaries or extra-curricular activities.
How would the bonds and overrides affect voters?
Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Horne told KTAR News 92.3 FM most taxpayers won’t see an payments go up, as some increases are continuations of previously approved voter initiatives.
