Announcements
As many of you know, the Higley School District's Maintenance & Operations Override did not pass in the November 2024 election, resulting in a $5.1 million funding reduction for the 2025-2026 school year. An additional $5 million in cuts may be needed for 2026-27. These funds have traditionally supported key programs, resources, and staff.
We need input from district employees, parents, and the community to prioritize programs and services for 2026-27. Please complete the HUSD Budget Survey to share your feedback. Your recommendations will be invaluable as we make these difficult decisions should a continuation of the Maintenance & Operations Override not be approved during the 2025-2026 school year.
Please note the survey will close on Monday, February 24th at 9 AM.
Join us for a Community Town Hall on Wednesday, February 19 at 5 PM in the HUSD Board Room to discuss these challenges. Visit our M&O Override page for more information.
