Our call — vote YES
The measure
The Cave Creek Unified School District (Maricopa County) asks voters on November 3, 2026 for approval to sell or lease one named parcel: the Desert Sun Academy site, 16.15 acres at 27880 N. 64th St.
What YES does
A YES vote authorizes the district to sell or lease that specific parcel. The question names the property — voters know exactly which land is on the table.
What NO does
A NO vote keeps the parcel in district ownership. The district continues to hold and maintain a site it has put before voters as disposable, and no sale or lease under this authorization can proceed.
The math
There is no tax in this question. The authorization covers one parcel of 16.15 acres; it levies nothing. The sources retrieved do not print an appraised value, a minimum price, or an earmark for the proceeds — we note that gap rather than estimate a value — and they show no below-market term.
OUR CALL
Our call: YES.
This is the clean form of a site-sale question: one named parcel, identified by size and address, put to the voters directly. No tax, no open-ended land authority, no oddity in the text retrieved. Authorize the sale.
