Chandler Unified School District (CUSD) officials are urging community members to participate in an upcoming all-mail election by November 4, 2025, to support local schools and students. During the Chandler USD Governing Board meeting on August 6, board members discussed the importance of a revised statement encouraging voters to approve funding that will enhance educational resources and attract quality teachers.

Board member Mr. Heap expressed satisfaction with the updated document, noting that it addressed previous concerns regarding language that implied a need for increased taxes. His remarks were echoed by Mr. Roars, who confirmed that the revised version eliminated references to tax increases, alleviating his earlier worries.

The board also discussed the logistics of the mail-in voting process. Members emphasized the importance of ensuring that ballots are mailed in time to be counted, as Arizona law requires that they arrive by 7 PM on Election Day. There was uncertainty about the availability of drop boxes for ballot submission, prompting a suggestion to clarify mailing deadlines in the election materials to avoid confusion.

As the election date approaches, board members are committed to providing accurate information to the community, ensuring that every vote counts in shaping the future of Chandler's educational landscape. The board's proactive approach highlights their dedication to transparency and community engagement as they seek to secure vital resources for local schools.
