The Roosevelt School District Governing Board unanimously voted to seek a $150 million bond to meet the needs of our community, attract new students and retain current ones.

During the 2023-24 school year, the district disrupted a 10-year enrollment decline. Moreover, many of the district's buildings are over 40 years old and need renovation. This will provide the opportunity for Roosevelt students to learn in safe, secure, modern buildings with the proper technology to support high-quality instruction.

The funding will be used to transform RSD schools into innovative learning environments, provide a quality, cutting-edge education focused on high achievement, ensure the use of the latest technology for students and teachers and make learning fair and equitable for every child in South Phoenix.

The following illustrates the estimated annual and monthly costs to taxpayers, including principal and interest, based on varying property types, property values, and assessed values. To determine your estimated tax impact, refer to your property tax statement, which identifies the specific assessed value of your property.

The bonds would be issued to build critical projects as existing debt is paid off. As such, the tax rate is projected to remain flat - meaning this proposal will not increase the tax rate. This is our opportunity to support our local schools without raising taxes. The Estimated Average Annual Bond Tax Rate per $100 of Assessed Valuation is $0.7247.
