Thank You, FUSD Community!

November 9, 2026

Dear FUSD Families, Team Members, and Community,

On behalf of the Flagstaff Unified School District (FUSD), I would like to express our sincere appreciation to our families, staff, and community members for their engagement and participation in the November 3, 2026, election. Unofficial election results indicate that voters have approved both Proposition 407 (FUSD Maintenance and Operations Override Continuation) and Proposition 409 (FUSD District Additional Assistance Override), providing continued and additional funding to support our students, staff, and schools.

The approval of these measures will help FUSD continue providing high-quality educational opportunities and maintaining safe, supportive learning environments for students of all backgrounds and abilities.

Proposition 407 will continue funding for important educational programs and opportunities, including full-day kindergarten, preschool, Advanced Placement (AP) and Dual Enrollment courses, Gifted Education, International Baccalaureate (IB), arts, STEM programs, athletics, extracurricular activities, and staffing that supports student learning and class sizes.

Proposition 409 will provide additional funding for essential classroom and school needs, including curriculum and instructional materials, textbooks, classroom furniture and equipment, school safety and security improvements, facility maintenance and repairs, school buses and vehicles, classroom technology, and student and staff devices.

We sincerely appreciate everyone who took the time to learn about the propositions, ask questions, participate in conversations, and make their voices heard throughout the election process.

As we look ahead, we are excited to continue the important work happening throughout FUSD to support student learning and success. We remain committed to using these resources responsibly and transparently. As the funding is implemented, we look forward to sharing regular updates and highlights with our community about how these funds are being used and the impact they are making in our schools.

Thank you for your continued involvement in FUSD and for being an important part of our school community. 

Sincerely,

Michael Penca
Superintendent
