TUCSON, Ariz — Sunnyside Unified School District residents will be asked to vote Yes or No on propositions 498 and 499 this election.“We’re asking for what we need. We could have gone as high as 15%. But we don’t need that,” Superintendent Jose Gastelum said.499 will help the district modernize buildings and replace equipment within the district.
"We want to modernize our buildings," Gastelum says,"The average age of our buildings are 34 years old. They're showing their age a little bit and we want to make sure we maintain the buildings." Propositions 498 and 499 are property tax levies. The cost of the bonds will be leveled per $100,000 dollars on house value. 498 will cost $11.35 per $100,000 and 499 will cost $9.85 per $100,000.Herrera tells KGUN 9 that she sees a need for the funds in her community.Sunnyside last asked for a bond in 2019. The measure failed after not enough voters voted 'yes'.“We have seen the trust rebuilt with the last two superintendents, and because of that I truly believe this one will pass.
