PEORIA UNIFIED’S LATEST SPOTLIGHT ON EXCELLENCE<br />
Tax Credits Support Much More for Students<br />
Tax credit contributions play a very<br />
important role to help fund extracurricular<br />
activities for students throughout the<br />
district. Arizona tax law allows individuals<br />
to make up to a<br />
$200 donation and<br />
those iling jointly<br />
to make up to a<br />
$400 donation.<br />
Each year, the<br />
district makes a<br />
huge push to build<br />
awareness of the<br />
tax credit program<br />
by reaching out<br />
to our parents<br />
and community<br />
members.<br />
Don’t look now; it’s legislative<br />
season again. Staying<br />
abreast of what’s going on<br />
at the state<br />
legislature<br />
i s n o t a l -<br />
ways easy.<br />
But the consequences<br />
o f d e c i -<br />
sions made<br />
i n t h o s e<br />
fe w s h o r t<br />
months can affect our<br />
schools, and therefore our<br />
children, forever. Parents<br />
must stay informed and<br />
engaged.<br />
For all the talk about “local<br />
control,” Arizona’s <strong>lawmakers</strong><br />
exert a lot of power<br />
over school districts, primarily<br />
in terms of how<br />
much - or how little - funding<br />
we receive and how we<br />
can use those funds. At the<br />
same time, they control<br />
how much revenue the<br />
state collects to support<br />
K-12 public education.<br />
Voter beware: <strong>lawmakers</strong><br />
claim to be for<br />
education. For example,<br />
<strong>lawmakers</strong> who cut funding<br />
for Career and Technical<br />
programs in our<br />
schools last year are very<br />
busy congratulating themselves<br />
for restoring (most<br />
of) it this year.<br />
Overall in 2015, the district received<br />
$1,635,747, the second highest amount<br />
to date — $59,000 more than 2014, but<br />
$4,826 less than the highest record amount<br />
in 2013.<br />
W e w o u l d<br />
like to thank the<br />
community for<br />
the incredible<br />
support . Our<br />
students can<br />
ex p e rience a<br />
wide variety of<br />
extracurricular<br />
a c t i v i t i e s<br />
which enriches<br />
t h e i r ove ra l l<br />
Community Awareness is Encouraging<br />
Kathy Knecht<br />
Governing Board<br />
More than $365,000 of tax credit contribuons was directed to field<br />
trips in 2015 — such as Jessica Slade’s kindergarten class from Sunset<br />
Heights Elementary vising the World Wildlife Zoo.<br />
e d u c a t i o n a l<br />
experience.<br />
I am encouraged by<br />
the rising level of awareness<br />
and understanding<br />
by parents in our<br />
community. People seem<br />
to be truly thinking critically<br />
beyond sound-bites<br />
and political partisanship<br />
to truly understand the<br />
issues. I am also made<br />
hopeful by education rallies<br />
at the state capitol<br />
and the passage of unprecedented<br />
numbers of<br />
local school elections in<br />
2015. Two great resources<br />
for information on education<br />
legislation are Expect<br />

Student Artwork Selected for<br />
Gallery by Peoria Mayor<br />
Peoria Mayor Cathy Carlat<br />
recently launched a new arts<br />
program to encourage students<br />
from kindergarten to eighth<br />
grade to create masterpieces to<br />
showcase in Peoria’s City Hall<br />
lobby and ofices.<br />
Believing that a city in not<br />
complete without a strong<br />
representation of the arts, the<br />
Mayor held a reception at City<br />
Hall for 27 students, and their<br />
family members, whose artwork<br />
will be on display for six<br />
months. The gallery will display<br />
new student artwork during the<br />
irst semester of the 2016-17<br />
school year.<br />
Art teachers and students<br />
interested in participating in<br />
the program can contact Andre<br />
Licardi, Cultural Arts Coordinator<br />
for Peoria, 623-773-5193 or<br />
andre.licardi@peoriaaz.gov.<br />
Country Meadows Elementary students Alyssa Chrisan, Ava Anderson and Ariah<br />
Salas had their artwork selected by City of Peoria Mayor Cathy Carlat and City Council<br />
members for display in a City Hall.<br />

The public will have<br />
