MARANA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT NEEDS YOUR HELP to vote “YES” on Prop-411 budget override measure that is on the election ballot this fall. Prop-411 will maintain and slightly increase the current Maintenance and Operations (M&O) Override, which supports our students and enhances the quality of education in our community by maintaining smaller class sizes and offering competitive salary and wages.


CURRENT OVERRIDE

The district currently benefits from a 10% Maintenance & Operations Override, which now funds:

  • Full Day Kindergarten: Ensuring our youngest students have a strong start.

  • Instructional Aides: Providing additional support in classrooms to enhance learning.

  • Counselors: Offering essential guidance and support to students.

  • Extracurricular Activities: Enriching student experiences beyond the classroom.

  • Co-Curricular Activities: Integrating valuable learning opportunities with academic curriculum.

  • Fine Arts and Electives: Encouraging creativity and exploration in various subjects


    PROPOSED INCREASE

    Prop-411 aims to increase the M&O Override from 10% to 15%. This increase will bring an additional $5 million to MUSD, which will be used for:

    • Maintaining Class Size: Keeping low student-to-teacher ratios for more personalized attention and better educational outcomes.

    • Teacher and Support Staff Pay: Enhancing salaries to attract and retain high-quality educators, ensuring MUSD remains competitive with other area school districts.

IMPACT ON PROPERTY TAXES?

  • NO Tax Rate Increase
