I pay thousands of dollars a year in property taxes. And I even give tax-credit dollars at the end of the year. Isn't that enough?

Unfortunately, no. Property taxes do not influence how much money our students receive. All schools in Arizona receive the same dollar per student regardless of location. And unlike in private schools, the tax-credit contributions can only be used for after-school programs. Which leaves strained budgets for academic programs that our students need.

I thought our schools were among the best in the state, if not the nation?

CFSD’s schools are consistently labeled excelling by the state. That success is underwritten in part by Foundation efforts. By people like you.

I don't have children in CFSD schools. Why should I be concerned?

The district has a long history of providing excellent schools for its students and there is a direct correlation between the success and reputation of our schools and Catalina Foothills property values. Low levels of funding will impact our schools' programs. The quality of our public schools is a critical factor in making our neighborhoods a more desirable place to live.  Your investment today will pay a lifetime of dividends for your children and neighbors.
