Peoria Uni�ied is grateful to the community for voting in favor of the budget increase which passed by 52.85% or 1,882 votes. More than 32,000 district patrons exercised their right to vote in Peoria Uni�ied’s 13% override election. The current 10% override, which voters have approved since 1996, has added approximately $17.8 million to the district’s annual budget and funds areas such as assistant principals, existing class sizes, nurses, physical education, arts education, reading programs, instructional coaches and gifted education. The additional three percent will be used to attract and retain quali�ied teachers and staff and implement full-day kindergarten in our 34 elementary schools for the 2016-17 school year.
The Future Looks Bright for Peoria Unified Students Peoria Unified, one of Arizona’s largest unified school districts, prides itself on a 95 percent high school graduation rate, excelling schools, award-winning teachers, high AIMS test scores, specialized signature programs and championship sports programs.

As I sit in the Board room at the Peoria Uni�ied district of�ices, I am often completely amazed and astounded by the students that come to the meetings to show their many wonderful acJudy Doane Governing Board complishments and the bright futures that they see before them. We have artists, musicians, scientists
and leaders from many diverse �ields among our students. I have come to know and appreciate many of the different programs offered by our gifted staff here in Peoria. I know we all love to see this, and to encourage these students to continue on with their excellent work. To all of our students, I would like to say: this is the time when you are able to make decisions about your future, and enact them with greater ease
than at any other time in your lives. Please make sure to consider this fact as you make choices regarding your classes. Not everyone wants to be an academic, or musician, or artist, etc., but there are an array of programs available to help with whatever your �ield of interest might be. Peoria Uni�ied wants to see you excel, and we want to help you �ind the future you desire. It’s in your grasp! Happy Holidays to all!
EVERY STUDENT, EVERY DAY, PREPARED TO SHAPE TOMORROW
Give Yourself Credit on Your Taxes and Support Your Local School, too Under the state tax credit program, a taxpayer can direct a portion of their state income tax to a public school and get a dollar-fordollar credit. A taxpayer can also specify where to direct those funds. Individual taxpayers are allowed a tax credit of up to $200, or up to $400 as
a married couple �iling a joint return. A credit may only be used to the extent it reduces a tax liability to zero. Any unused amounts may be carried forward for not more than �ive consecutive years. The majority of tax credits collected in Peoria Uni�ied schools fund
extracurricular activities such as Kindergarten Academy, athletics and band. A tax credit contribution can be directed to school with the greatest need, or designate it toward a speci�ic student and their extracurricular activity, such as: �ield trip, athletics, band (high school only), character education, tutoring, tuition for Kindergarten Academy and the EXCEL before- and afterschool program. Recently, the State Legislature expanded the tax credit law to include fees paid for college preparatory tests, such as SAT or AP, and industry credentials or certifications earned through Career & Technical Educa�on programs.
Parents can direct a tax credit contribu�on toward fees for field trips, such as Heritage Elementary’s recent trip to Bu�erfly Wonderland; or par�cipa�on fees, such as marching band. In November, Cactus High competed for the first �me in the State Marching Band Championships, placing sixth overall. Well done, Cobras!
The new law also extends the deadline for tax credit contributions from Dec. 31 to April 15.
Peoria Uni�ied offers several ways to make a tax credit contribution: online at www.peoriaud.k12. az.us, or the district’s mobile App; the pre-printed form and envelope included in the district’s Annual Review recently mailed to all district households; and a form can also be obtained at all schools. If you’d like to complete yours before the end of the year, make a tax credit contribution at your school site before Winter Break or, stop by the District Administration Center, 6330 W. Thunderbird Road on Dec. 18, 28, 29, 30 — or come by 9 a.m - 1 p.m., Dec. 31, for a drive-thru, dropoff event at the district of�ice, and enjoy a free cup of cocoa and a cookie as our way of saying “thanks” for your support!
MET Professional Academy is Best in the West
The Medical, Technology & Engineering (MET) Professional Academy, Peoria Uni�ied’s newest Signature Program, received an Honorable Mention for Excellence in Innovation at the WestMARC Best of the West Awards. According to MET Director Adriana Parsons, students enrolled in the MET Professional Academy earn industry credentials and college credits, gain employability and professional skills such as communication, leadership, critical thinking and business ethics. Find out more about the MET Professional Academy at www.peoriaud.k12.az.us, or #PeoriaMET.
