Our call — vote YES
The measure
Proposition 423, the Gilbert Unified School District's second question on November 3, 2026 (Maricopa County), asks voters to authorize the district to sell unneeded district real estate. It is paired with Proposition 422, the district's $100 million bond.
What YES does
A YES vote authorizes the governing board to sell district real estate the district has identified as unneeded, rather than continuing to hold and maintain surplus property.
What NO does
A NO vote denies the authorization. The property remains district-owned, with its carrying costs, until voters approve a sale.
The math
There is no tax in this question. The authorization is to sell property the district itself describes as unneeded; it levies nothing. The sources retrieved do not name the specific parcels, print an appraised value, or show any below-market term or earmarked-proceeds oddity — we note that the parcels are not named in the material retrieved, and we do not estimate values.
OUR CALL
Our call: YES.
On the text retrieved, this is a straight authorization to sell real estate the district says it does not need. Holding surplus land costs money; selling it at market is basic stewardship. No oddity is shown in the authorization. Approve Proposition 423.
