Why is an Election Needed?

Older schools need improvements to increase safety

State of Arizona has not funded cost to maintain buildings (SFB Building Renewal converted to a grant program, and only partially funded)

State imposed capital funding reductions has resulted in

funding gaps for such things as technology, textbooks, school

buses, etc.

Student growth necessitates additional facilities

8/27/2019

“B” Bond

$175,000,000

“B” Bonds: Source of funding that allows

• purchase or lease of school sites

• build or renovate school buildings to improve school grounds

including physical improvements and additions beyond the

minimum standards by the State of Arizona

• purchase pupil transportation vehicles

• recent changes to statutes allow for furniture, fixtures and

equipment to also be funded from “B” bonds

Tax RatesDue to the structure of the debt schedule for this

bond authorization, the tax rate is not projected

to increase as a result of issuing these bonds.

Estimated Average Monthly Cost on the average assessed value home of $213,053 is $13.28/month,

which is a continuation of the tax rate already being assessed from prior bond authorizations

2019 M&O Override Election

November 5, 2019

Presentation of factual information

about the election

8/27/2019

What is a Maintenance & Operation (M&O)

Override?

An override is voter authorization to exceed the amount of budget

otherwise allowed by the State of Arizona. This additional amount is

approved and funded by local taxpayer dollars as a means to provide

local support of programs deemed important by the community.

Overrides require voter approval because they are funded from

property taxes.

M&O Overrides are different than bond elections in that bonds fund

capital improvements (think of large construction projects) and

overrides fund the day-to-day operations of the District.

8/27/2019

What is a Maintenance & Operation (M&O)

Override?

• Overrides allow school districts to

exceed its annual M&O budget limit

by up to 15%, for 5 full years

• If voters fail to reauthorize, the

M&O budget is reduced by 1/3 each

year for the next three years

8/27/2019

What is the History of M&O Overrides in DVUSD?

• DVUSD has historically had a 10% override

(1991 to 2015)

• Legislation in 2009 allows for a continuation of the existing

10% override plus a new Special 5% override, that can be

combined into a 15% election

• November 2015 was last approval of our current 15% override

• November of 2019 is the planned renewal of the override

1991 M&O Override Approved

1995 M&O Override Not

Approved1996 M&O Override Renewed

2001 M&O Override Renewed

2005 M&O Override Renewed

March 2010 M&O

Override Not Approved

November 2010 M&O Override Renewed

November 2015 M&O Override

Approved at 15%

8/27/2019

How Does a M&O Override Work? – DVUSD Example

• Basic Funding – # of students x base amount per student

(approximately $4,000/ student)

• Override – Allows district to budget an additional

percentage above Basic Funding.

2019-20 State Basic Funding Formula $191,465,989

15% Override Funding $28,719,898

8/27/2019

Why is a M&O Override Needed?A committee of parents, community members, teachers, staff, and

administrators unanimously recommended calling for a renewal of the

M&O Override. The Governing Board unanimously approved calling

for the election on June 25th, 2019.

Factors that were reviewed in calling for this election:

• State Comparison of Funding

• State-Imposed Reductions

• Retention of Quality Staff

• Quality Programs for Students

Per Pupil Spending ComparisonSource: Auditor General District Spending Report

DVUSD receives less

money per pupil than

peer/comparable

districts, the State as a

whole, and the National

average - with the

existing 15% M&O

override in place.

8/27/2019

Student Benefits from M&O Override :

Quality Staff

Maintaining Class Size

Gifted Education

Athletics

Special Areas: Arts, Band, Chorus, PE

Student Programs: Language Immersion, STEM,

STEAM, IB, CTE, etc.

Social Emotional Programs and Supports

Full-Day Kindergarten (at no additional cost to parents)

8/27/2019

How will the override be used?M&O Override Category Planned in FY20

Existing M&O Salaries (8.5% of existing salaries) 14,610,000$

Class Size at Grades K-6 (-3 FTE/Class Load) 3,300,000$ Class Size at Grades 7-12 (-3 FTE/Class Load) 3,730,000$

Specialized Programs for

Students Including Co-

Curricular, Extra-Curricular and

Full-Day Kindergarten

5,304,898$

Extracurricular Activities 500,000$

Counselors and Support Services Staff 500,000$

District Budgets (10%) 525,000$

School Budgets (10%) 250,000$

28,719,898$

8/27/2019

What will be cut if the override does not pass?

• The Governing Board will be forced to make over $9

million in cuts each of the three years of the phase down of

the M&O Override, for a total of nearly $30 million cuts to

the District operating budget.

8/27/2019

What About Other Proposals to Increase Funding for Education?

Inflationary Lawsuit – inflation lawsuit was settled (Proposition

123) for a percentage of what was owed and inflation growth is

capped at no more than 2% annually.

Governor’s 20% by 2020 – even with this initiative the average

teacher salary in Arizona is at least $11,000 less than the

national average.

Source: Expect More Arizona

data adjusted for cost of living

8/27/2019

What will the M&O Override cost?

Average Assessed Valuation Residential Property: $213,053

Projected Tax Rate for 15% M&O Override: $1.0832

Projected Annual Tax Amount: $230.79

or, just $19.23 per month

This amount is not an increase.

It is a continuation of the local support already being paid.
