Money Saved

$1.78M Saved thanks to SFB funding

The School Facilities Board (SFB) provides state dollars to Arizona schools for specific maintenance projects. SVUSD was able to apply money from the SFB to several badly needed maintenance projects, saving the District approximately $1,780,000 in bond funds that now can cover other projects under the bond that became more expensive than originally estimated.

Joint Technological Education District (JTED) funds

JTED is another source of funding for our school district and is NOT part of the overall school bond funding coming from tax payers.

This funding was used to create the Buena Culinary Arts Cafe, part of the high school's Career and Technical Education program.
