Upgraded air conditioning systems
Secured school lobbies at 17 schools
Performing Arts Center and other renovated facilities at Mountain View High School
Upgraded facilities at Mesa High School
Student devices for one-to-one learning environments
The override supports people.
13.9% of all staff salaries are supported by the override
