Our call — vote NO
The measure
The Paradise Valley Unified School District's second financial question on November 3, 2026 (Maricopa County) is a District Additional Assistance (DAA) budget override — authority to exceed the district's DAA limit for capital purposes, funded by a levy on taxable property in the district — listed by the County Superintendent alongside the district's M&O override renewal.
What YES does
A YES vote authorizes the DAA override for its term, funding capital purposes above the district's DAA limit from the override levy.
What NO does
A NO vote denies the authority. Capital spending stays within the DAA limit and other capital funds, and any existing authority phases down on its existing schedule.
The math
The pamphlet data retrieved for this question prints no dollar cap, no percentage, no tax rate, and no estimated cost to the average homeowner, and it does not establish whether this continues an existing DAA override or is a new authorization. None of that can be priced from the material retrieved, and we estimate none of it.
OUR CALL
Our call: no call.
Unlike the district's M&O question — a stated renewal at the same rate — this DAA question arrives with no cap, no rate, and no continuation status in the material retrieved. A capital override still has to be priced in print. Disclosure failure; no call.
