Question 1 - General Maintenance and Operation Budget

Shall the Governing Board of Palominos Elementary School District No. 49 of Cochise County, Arizona (the "School District"), adopt maintenance and operations budgets which allow the School District to exceed the revenue control limit specified by law in the amount of not more than ten percent (10%) per fiscal year for fiscal year 2027/2028 and the next subsequent six (6) fiscal years thereafter? The 2027/2028 proposed budget increase of the School District budget will exceed the alternate proposed School District budget by approximately $612,911. The amount of the proposed increase will be based on a percentage of the School District's revenue control limit in future years as provided in Section 15-481(P), Arizona Revised Statutes. Any budget increase authorized by this election shall be entirely funded by a levy of taxes on the taxable property within this School District for the year for which adopted and for six subsequent years, shall not be realized from monies furnished by the state and shall not be subject to the limitation on taxes specified in article IX, section 18, Constitution of Arizona. Based on the current net assessed valuation used for secondary property tax purposes, to fund the proposed increase in the School District's budget would require an estimated tax rate of $0.59 per $100 of net assessed valuation used for secondary property tax purposes and is in addition to the School District's tax rate that will be levied to fund the School District's revenue control limit allowed by law.
