Elections

The Queen Creek Unified School District Governing Board is calling on voters to decide two ballot measures this November to support the needs of the rapidly-growing population of the district. Queen Creek is the seventh fastest-growing city in the nation and the fastest-growing school district in the state.

Bond

Voters will consider a bond of $98M for projects over the next five years to fund enhanced safety and security features, renovations to existing schools, construction of new classroom space, and other improvements to address the needs of the growing community.

Override

In addition to the bond, voters will decide on whether to continue the current 15% maintenance and operations budget override used for teacher salaries, reduced class sizes, and academic offerings.
