 An engineering company has submitted a request for a rezoning at 8800 E. Jacaranda Way to change 11.3 acres from SR (1 home/3.3 acres) to RX-2 (8.7 homes/1 acre). They are also requesting an amendment to the Bear Canyon Neighborhood Plan to allow for this zoning change.

arizona education expenditure limit

The Tanque Verde Unified School District will lose $2.6 million in current year funding if the Arizona Legislature does not pass a resolution allowing school districts to exceed the aggregate expenditure limit.      These are funds that have already been allocated, not new money, hence the urgency .   The cut would be over 16% of each district’s individual budget.  The expenditure limit is left over from 1980.

 You can help by contacting your local legislators.
