Voters in the Queen Creek Unified School District No. 95 vote today on a bond of up to $286 million that has been requested by the school board.
Since this is a mail-in only election - and it's too late to mail ballots - voters can still drop-off ballots until 7 p.m. tonight at official election sites in town.
This bond represents funds to be borrowed by the school district with an estimated cost of $444,750,650 to be repaid by a tax on all taxable property in the district that will not exceed 20 years per each issuance of bonds. Funds will be used for technology infrastructure, security, infrastructure improvements, extracurricular and programming resources, new construction spaces, and student transportation.
The cost to the owner of a typical home with an assessed value of $250,000 is estimated to be $356.79 per year.
