Understanding potential budget shifts helps provide clarity on district operational planning.

If Proposition 438 is not approved, the Agua Fria High School District would face an estimated $12 million in annual budget reductions over a three-year period.

Here is a look at the specific operational areas that would be affected:
🛠️ Career Academies: Programs including Nursing, IT, and Construction Trades.
🛡️ Campus Security: Staffing for School Resource Officers and safety personnel.
👩‍🏫 Staff Retention: Compensation structures that support recruiting and retaining qualified personnel.
