Our call — vote YES
The measure
The Scottsdale Unified School District's second question on November 3, 2026 (Maricopa County) asks voters for approval to sell or lease three named properties: the Cholla Campus, the Apache Campus, and Oak Learning Academy. It is separate from the district's $375 million bond question.
What YES does
A YES vote authorizes the district to sell or lease those three named campuses under the authorization's terms, converting surplus property into proceeds or lease revenue.
What NO does
A NO vote keeps all three campuses in district ownership, with their carrying costs, and no sale or lease under this authorization can proceed.
The math
There is no tax in this question. The three properties are named in the question itself. The sources retrieved do not print appraised values, minimum prices, or an earmark for proceeds, and they show no below-market term; we note the valuation gap rather than estimate values.
OUR CALL
Our call: YES.
Three named campuses, put to the voters directly, with no tax attached and no oddity in the text retrieved. That is a straight authorization to dispose of specific surplus property. Authorize it.
