The attached image is a two-column flyer from the Isaac School District titled "2025 Election Facts."  The left column, "Budget Override Election Facts," explains a proposed Maintenance & Operations (M&O) Override.  Override Terminology: It describes the M&O Override as a voter-approved ballot measure to increase the district's operating budget. It states the current M&O override is a permanent renewal of a previous 15% override. The funds would be used for pay for teacher and staff salaries, and operating costs like utilities and supplies. Bonds and capital overrides can be used to supplement the limited state capital funding.  Tax Impact: The tax impact is described for a homeowner with a Limited Property Value (LPV) of $70,610. The proposed tax increase would be $4.888.582 annually or $181 per year ($15.08 per month).  Reasons for renewing the M&O Override: It lists reasons for the override, including attracting and retaining qualified staff, supporting students with small class sizes, and maintaining arts, physical education, and band programs.  The right column, "Bond Election Facts," explains a proposed bond election.  What is a BOND? It defines bonds as loans made to the school district for capital expenditures like furniture, technology, and facility repairs.  Why is Isaac School District calling upon local voters for a bond election? It states the bond is for funding new capital projects, replacement of furniture and equipment, and preventive maintenance.  What will the Bond do for Isaac School District students? The proposed 2025 Bond would be used to finance or refinance capital expenditures, including furniture, technology, textbooks, and instructional aids.  What amount is the Isaac School District asking for in the upcoming bond election? The total bond is for $10,000,000.  How much will the bond cost a homeowner? For a homeowner with an LPV of $70,607, the estimated average annual cost is $71.69 per year ($5.97 per month).  How do I know the money will be spent as indicated? It says the district is committed to responsible stewardship of bond funds and will hold a public hearing to inform the public on the progress of how the bond proceeds are spent.  At the bottom of the flyer, there is a section titled "IMPORTANT ELECTION DATES" with three bullet points:  October 6, 2025 - Deadline to register to vote  October 8, 2025 - Early ballots mailed to voters  October 25, 2025 - Recommended date to mail your completed ballot  The final line states the "November 4, 2025 - Election Day" and provides a link to register or verify voter registration: servicearizona.com/VoterRegistration.

Happy to share that today was Esperanza's first Coffee with the Principal of the school year! We had a wonderful turnout, with a total of 17 parents participating.

Dr. Robertson gave an amazing slideshow presentation about Title I and how we use those funds to support our school. We also had meaningful discussions about district benchmarks, state assessments, and strategies to support our scholars at home—especially in reading and math.

A big thank you to Dr. Robertson for your time and dedication to the Esperanza families. Your leadership and commitment are truly appreciated!

Data Day at Esperanza!

Yesterday, our amazing teachers came together for Data Day. They spent the day analyzing i-Ready Beginning of the Year diagnostic scores and other student data. This important work helps us plan instruction, set goals, and make sure every child gets the support they need to succeed.

We are so proud of the hard work and collaboration our staff put in to make learning meaningful for all of our Esperanza Stars!

Here are a few snapshots from the day—thank you to our dedicated teachers for always putting students first!
