Dr. Ravi Shah, president of the Tucson Unified School District governing board, told staff at the district opening that a recent override has allowed the district to create new positions intended to support students and families. “Thanks to the override. We have new positions throughout our district that are gonna help, meet the students and families' needs all across our district,” Shah said.

The district did not specify in the remarks which schools or programs will receive the new positions or the total funding amount tied to the hires.
