What happened
The Tempe Union High School District's District Additional Assistance (DAA) override and 15% Maintenance and Operating Budget (M&O) override are entering their fifth of seven-year periods. The district has nearly spent or committed all of its $100 million school improvement bond money. If the board does not approve a renewal override election for November 2027, the M&O override would shrink to 10% of the operating budget in 2028-29 and 5% in 2029-30.

Why it matters
The potential reduction in the M&O override could lead to major financial challenges for the district, especially given Prop 320 requires that districts spend 60% of their operating funds on direct classroom instruction.
