Our call — vote NO
The measure
The Riverside Elementary School District (Maricopa County) has a bond question on the November 3, 2026 ballot, listed by the County Superintendent as the district's "Bond & District Additional Assistance Override" questions. The district's governing-board race was cancelled this cycle. Bonds are repaid from secondary property taxes on taxable property in the district.
What YES does
A YES vote would authorize the district to sell bonds up to the authorized amount and levy the secondary property taxes to repay them with interest — in whatever amount the authorization, which the retrieved sources do not state, actually specifies.
What NO does
A NO vote denies the authorization. No bonds are sold under it and no tax is levied for them.
The math
The sources retrieved do not state this bond's dollar amount, its purposes, its tax rate, its estimated homeowner cost, or its total cost with interest. A bond cannot be priced without its amount, and the amount is missing from the material retrieved. We do not estimate it.
OUR CALL
Our call: no call.
As with every unpriced bond, the failure is disclosure, and it is total in the material retrieved: no amount, no purpose list, no tax effect. Publish the pamphlet figures and the measure can be judged on them. Until then, no call.
