Left–right lean

Not a left–right issue: a procedural or local question that liberals and conservatives don't typically split on (AI read of the official ballot summary).

Background

According to the informational pamphlet issued by the Maricopa County School Superintendent, the Mesa Unified School District Governing Board called this election to seek voter authorization to sell, lease or exchange five district-owned properties and use the proceeds for school sites, school buildings, student transportation or other permitted capital expenses.

The parcels listed are the McKellips Learning Center (about 2.96 acres), Riverview (about 6.60 acres), the Student Service Center (about 3.90 acres), the Administrative Service Center at 63 E. Main Street (about 0.41 acres) and the Sunridge Learning Center (about 3.22 acres).

The pamphlet states that authorizing the sale, lease or exchange would have no additional tax impact. The district's separate bond measure is Proposition 419 on the same ballot.

Put on the ballot by Mesa Unified School District No. 4 Governing Board (date and vote not stated in the pamphlet).
