The superintendent of Maricopa Unified School District said Wednesday that continuation of the 10% maintenance and operation budget override is “critical” to educating the 7,600 students in the district.
“Three things – the investment in technology, keeping class sizes small and funding our intervention and resources for at-risk students – that is literally all of the pie,” she told members of the Governing Board, underlining its importance to the district’s mission. “It’s a very focused allocation.”
Lopeman stressed the override is not a new tax on the citizens of Maricopa, but a continuation of an existing tax approved by voters in 2016. It will not increase taxes above current rates, and the residential growth in the last five years means the amount paid by each homeowner would likely decrease, she added.

A variety of COVID-19 mitigation measures allowed the Maricopa Unified School District to reopen classrooms and enable students to learn in person.
Many of those expensive measures were paid for with federal stimulus funds.
According to MUSD business manager Jacob Harmon, the district has received $7.2 million in federal stimulus monies over the past year, with another $9.5 million pledged but not yet received.
All told, MUSD will receive a total of $16.7 million to address needs arising from the pandemic. The initial payment came in the form of a $1.5 million Enrollment Stabilization Grant, Harmon said.
