Final results from the Nov. 5 election show voters approved 27 of 37 school bond or override requests from 31 districts. Ten measures failed. Background: Arizona school districts called for bond and override elections before the recession. But when the economy tanked, school budgets were hit hard, making bond and override dollars that much more important. The state Legislature slashed about $671 million between 2008 and 2013 from school operations and about $279 million in school-facilities funding, according to the Joint Legislative Budget Committee. In some cases, the reductions have increased class sizes and have caused employee layoffs and program cuts. This year was the first time since the recession that schools saw an increase in operating money from the state, about $82 million.” (Melissa Leu, AZ Central, 14 Oct 2013.)
