Combs school officials to answer election questions
East Valley school districts push for budget overrides
Independent Newspapers Voters will have a lot to choose from this November, including the decision to reinstate budget overrides for some East Valley school districts, according to East Valley education officials. Dr. Gayle A. Blanchard, superintendent of Combs Unified School District, hopes voters will consider the choice between raised taxes and school cuts, which also rests on their shoulders.
School districts rely on these override funds, and their loss will mean cuts in programs like art, music and sports, but these funds come directly from the residents with noticeable tax increases.
