🎓 Education
The Deer Valley Unified School District will seek a 15% Maintenance and Operations override this November to add $11 million for salaries, class sizes, and programs.
Superintendent Curtis Finch said the override—aimed at supporting student services and reducing fees—will help the district stay strong despite budget cuts.
🏛️ Government
Glendale annexed a half-acre parcel at 81st and Myrtle avenues on Sept.
23 and senior planner Sydney Tirella said the land will serve as open space for a townhouse development — the council will consider annexing a 39-acre parcel at a future meeting to expand its western industrial zone.
Glendale voters will decide on two General Obligation bond measures in November—one for $30 million to fix flood control issues near Bethany Home Road, 43rd Avenue and Grand Avenue, and one for $35 million to repair the poorly maintained Operations Campus.
The measures come after city surveys and committee meetings showed a need to improve public safety and worker conditions.
