Election Update

Dysart Unified School District voters approved the 2025 budget override continuation for the district, but declined the bond measure. Dysart is thankful to everyone in the community that took the time to vote in this election, and showed support and commitment to local schools and students.


Overview

Dysart Schools had two initiatives on the November ballot that focus on academic success, safety, and program offerings for students.

WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOU

Property owners in Dysart are currently paying annual property taxes to support school improvement bonds previously approved by the voters in 2006 and a maintenance and operations override previously approved by the voters in 2020. If the 2025 Override Continuation & Bond pass, homeowners would simply continue to support student needs.

$24.86/mo

*This is an estimate for an average property owner in Dysart, which includes an average monthly tax rate for the bond of $5.47 and the average first year monthly tax rate for the override of $19.39.
