Our call — vote NO
The measure
The Osborn Elementary School District's second question on November 3, 2026 (Maricopa County) is a District Additional Assistance (DAA) budget override: the lesser of $2,000,000 or 10% of the district's revenue control limit, for capital purposes, for up to seven years, per the district's official call of election.
What YES does
A YES vote authorizes the district to exceed its DAA limit by up to that capped amount for capital purposes, funded by a levy on taxable property in the district at an estimated tax rate of $0.35 per $100 of net assessed valuation.
What NO does
A NO vote denies the authority. The district's capital spending stays within its DAA limit and other capital funds.
The math
The cap and the rate are printed: lesser of $2,000,000 or 10% of the revenue control limit, estimated $0.35 per $100 NAV, up to seven years. What the retrieved call-of-election summary does not state is whether this DAA override continues an existing DAA override at the same level or is a new authorization — and it prints no estimated cost to the average homeowner. We do not fill either gap.
OUR CALL
Our call: no call.
The cap and rate disclosure is better than most, but the single fact that decides an override call — is this the voters' existing tax renewed, or a new one? — is not established in the material retrieved. The district should print the continuation status and a homeowner figure. Until then, no call.
