Thompson told the board the 2016 bond, a $165,000,000 authorization, has been nearly fully spent with about $4,000,000 remaining for critical maintenance projects such as HVAC and roofing. The district completed rebuilds and renovations in three phases, including Moseley — described in the presentation as the largest project from that bond.

The 2022 bond totals $196,500,000. Thompson said the district has sold about $75,000,000 of that authorization so far and that the largest planned use of the 2022 bond is the Curry Conley build, estimated in the presentation at roughly $150,000,000 from bond proceeds. He said another major portion of the 2022 bond — about $39,000,000 — is earmarked for energy-saving projects such as solar, water conservation and lighting upgrades; those projects are expected to receive rebates that will reduce net cost.

Thompson emphasized the effect of construction inflation on planned work. \"If you look at it, 45% inflation since 2020 on construction for Arizona schools,\" he said. Using Moseley as an example, Thompson said what cost about $54,000,000 previously would cost near $80,000,000 at today's prices.

Thompson also summarized voter-approved overrides. The capital (DAA) override increased from $5,000,000 to $7,000,000 annually beginning with the 2024 increase; the district will receive $7,000,000 per year for seven years, or $49,000,000 total. He said much of the capital override is going to technology: software licenses, hardware and network improvements. \"If you've been to a school with the Wi‑Fi down and Internet down, they're having a bad day,\" Thompson said, explaining the network investment.

The maintenance-and-operations override (M&O) provides roughly 15% of the revenue control limit — about $10.5 million per year — and primarily funds salaries and programs (for example, full‑day kindergarten, counselors, and music programs). Thompson explained the M&O override is fully funded for the first five years, then steps down by roughly one‑third in year six and further in years seven and eight unless voters renew it. He noted the latest date to renew without a funding dip is the November 2029 election.

Board members praised the transparency and asked clarifying questions. Board member Windsor asked whether the $39,000,000 energy‑savings figure includes grants and rebates; Thompson replied that the $39,000,000 is the gross bond cost and that the district will receive rebates that reduce the net cost. Board member Miller confirmed the DAA capital override does not step down during its seven‑year term.

Thompson said the district posts these bond and override reports on its website for public review and that additional historical presentations are available.

The board did not take action on the presentation; it was an informational update required by state rules on voter‑approved funding and provided to increase transparency about how voter dollars are being spent.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","10-1-2025 Governing Board Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","Chief Financial Officer Eric Thompson told the Tempe Elementary School District governing board how voter-approved 2016 and 2022 bonds and the district's capital and maintenance-and-operations (M&O) overrides have been spent and the fiscal risks posed by construction inflation and scheduled step-downs.","taxTitle","Tempe School District (4258), School Districts, Arizona","taxId",13627,"location","Arizona","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6426924,"Votes at a glance: routine approvals and meeting actions — Tempe Elementary School District governing board",2066,32000,2098000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5881246-e4230cfd14509498c25dc63d18dd304a&start=32&end=2098","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5881246-e4230cfd14509498c25dc63d18dd304a/thumbnail_32000.jpg","/articles/6426924/Arizona/Votes-at-a-glance-routine-approvals-and-meeting-actions-Tempe-Elementary-School-District-governing-board","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6426924-12aa7286e1dd674a19db9ee3cfd90003/orig.mp4?Expires=1773574615&Signature=VUmB5YwAiMPrtPRBY~82d-1FAESJXVhdwKhoTr0FbuBOTKK2faxf~-AL1MytC9SvCg029LTkxNB1OJzrutAq5oktMxMiIvfBLddK-9bScQDvJQKXO8OkTp~PjHaE3EDLf3R9Z-eDz0q9FIyWNUTIM6JXvvdbd8a5RWjoK7lueXm8VUa8GJ91u5RIAjNPp2iBFTZsBKZHFbwtA-oXYusu34rSpB952-ylpQWe-0SIgtaki2s4VVp5bBcJFXSF4BvR-uNT8rEmhQVKYzFP3C0hIzc~IvqYfbvOOm97FIU0pnR4Kg8mhZIxsU~~NEXn3nbnXKiXN0SSuNOU86GaTeHQfQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At its meeting, the Tempe Elementary School District governing board recorded the following routine approvals and actions:

The board also publicly thanked Commercial Properties Incorporated for a $2,000 donation to Aguilar for school supplies and held a public Celebrate Excellence segment where district staff highlighted student spotlight awards and classroom activities with community partners.

Several other agenda items were discussion or first review only (proposed policy consolidations under BED series); the board scheduled second readings or further administrative follow‑up where required.

Votes on substantive items covered elsewhere in separate articles: the board approved a mutual nondisclosure agreement with Arizona State University (see separate article) and directed staff to cast the district’s vote on ASBA bylaw changes, authorizing Miss Franklin to submit the district ballot.","The board approved the meeting agenda, minutes, consent agenda and adjourned; key substantive items (bond update, ASU NDA, ASBA bylaw direction) were discussed or approved separately.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6426931,"Tempe board directs district vote on ASBA bylaw changes and authorizes Franklin to cast the district ballot",84,1685000,1769000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5881246-e4230cfd14509498c25dc63d18dd304a&start=1685&end=1769","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5881246-e4230cfd14509498c25dc63d18dd304a/thumbnail_1685000.jpg","/articles/6426931/Arizona/Tempe-board-directs-district-vote-on-ASBA-bylaw-changes-and-authorizes-Franklin-to-cast-the-district-ballot","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6426931-d067f906b2bd3c8861f3ed6cf7caf1aa/orig.mp4?Expires=1773574615&Signature=ZTjug5bZQD4qlN2SgPCcTxNjfmC90p2OYi3qQMU9C~W3PgWvQF7ZBhZ-N~vKwmHTVLSm~RMVNtQg-~Vu8kjbiks~-5KXwpJqvUKR~XhYWh42KtSmVCX14ZX2lKoMEClJ3xWolZfY0jGCJ~QDfrrI910jo6-viaJEBhh6JChnOXJwsqLnn9QfA0TrebsOFk9D4zBJqFdCYkvHrJ20DCglusL1NCg38YemNEO2JUx3PNtuDI~-As~MPVfdDIMcrmzkag2MVm5bk1JVq3axyotIfeRlyGDwUggCSt7gMcDmaBAjd517i1WvNZVmrKtR40HnZ9z1Xru0Jg67ZARw-Rjkgg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Tempe Elementary School District governing board voted to give direction on how the district should cast its ballot on proposed bylaw changes from the Arizona School Boards Association (ASBA) and then authorized district staff member Franklin to cast that vote on the district’s behalf.

A board member who attended a Maricopa County districts meeting urged the board to adopt the bylaw‑change direction, describing the proposal as cleaning up piecemeal language and aligning local practice with common standards. The motion to direct the district’s vote passed. A follow‑up motion — that Franklin cast the district’s vote consistent with the board’s direction — also passed.

Board members said the proposed changes would consolidate several existing bylaws into a single policy and bring the district more in line with standard ASBA language; staff confirmed some local wording differs but the proposed consolidation reflected current district practice as captured in the new, combined policy draft.

The board’s actions consisted of a direction on voting and an authorization for a named district representative to cast the district ballot at ASBA. Board members discussed the timing and recommended the district submit its position now so county‑level processes can be followed.

Board member Windsor moved to approve the NDA and the motion passed after discussion. A district staff presenter described the partnership as a low‑cost collaboration in which ASU students complete capstone projects using district data; the district gains analytic work and a potential recruitment pipeline while students gain hands‑on experience. The presenter described the arrangement as requiring no payment from the district: \"it's a win‑win, and it cost us nothing,\" the presenter said.

Windsor said she appreciated the district engaging in collaborative partnerships and asked whether the capstone work was within the College of Education; staff confirmed it was not and explained the project will use ASU data science seniors. One board member disclosed employment with ASU and announced an abstention from the vote because of that relationship. The motion carried.

The board did not attach a funding commitment to the agreement; staff said the NDA will allow supervised student access to district data for specified projects and that the district expects to retain control of any data release per the NDA terms.

Speakers recommended the district post the agreement and related materials for public transparency; staff said district materials (presentations and reports) are posted on the district website.","The governing board approved a mutual nondisclosure agreement that allows Arizona State University seniors to use district data for capstone projects; one board member abstained because of employment with ASU.","actionData","errors"]
