Background

According to the Maricopa County School Superintendent's informational pamphlet, the Gilbert Unified School District No. 41 Governing Board called this special election to seek voter authorization to sell, lease or exchange district-owned real property.

The property is the Pioneer Elementary site at 1535 N. Greenfield Road, Gilbert (about 11.86 acres).

The district says any proceeds could go to buying school sites, building or improving school buildings, buying student transportation vehicles, or other permitted capital spending, and that authorization would have no additional tax impact. Approval would not require a sale; that decision would stay with the governing board.

The pamphlet includes one argument in favor, from the Gilbert Chamber of Commerce. No arguments against were submitted.

Put on the ballot by Gilbert Unified School District No. 41 Governing Board (special election call; date and vote not stated in the pamphlet).
