Canutillo ISD (CISD) leaders are thrilled after voters approved $386 million in funds for the district. The approval of these funds will allow for state-of-the-art facilities, repairs to roofs and HVAC systems, improved safety and security measures for students. The district is excited for the opportunity to continue to compete, improve, and enhance the learning environment for its students.
There were two proposals on the ballot for Canutillo residents to approve or reject. Proposition A provided $379 million for school repairs, relocations, security upgrades, and career training. Proposition B was worth $7.2 million and focused on technology infrastructure. Despite previous failed attempts, both measures passed this time, although the votes were very close.
The passing of Proposition A by less than 40 votes was a close call but a significant victory for the district. Property owner Matt Stopana expressed frustration at the idea of constantly increasing taxes even after paying off a mortgage but understood the importance of investing in education.
The $386 million bond is a significant development for Canutillo ISD as it allows them to provide better facilities and resources while also being mindful of the financial impact on residents. They are committed to utilizing these funds in ways that will benefit their students while also being responsible with taxpayer money.
