At Coolidge Unified School District’s November 14th regular Governing Board meeting, Governing Board Student Character Awards were presented to students from San Tan Valley schools.

This award is given to students who best demonstrate any or all of the Character Counts! traits of Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring and Citizenship.

Coolidge Unified School District is re­questing a 10 percent Maintenance and Operations budget increase that would increase taxes for property owners within the district and increase available funds for the 2013-2014 school year, offi­cials said.

The 8 percent override that was ap­proved in 2004 expired June 30.

CUSD Superintendent Cecilia Johnson said the requested override percentage was upped from 8 percent to 10 percent because of inflation and higher costs the school district is facing.
