A few years ago I spoke about the three “E’s” going hand in hand; education, employment, economic development. Resources, financial and otherwise, that go to our education systems give our professional educators the tools necessary to give the highest quality education to our students.

As future employees, our students are assets to businesses that hire highly qualified employees. Students also are future business leaders that will use their education to develop businesses (economic development) that will hire employees.

Businesses also look to communities that have highly regarded education systems for places to do business and for their employees to live; looking to their future of their children and employees’ children. In essence, the three “E’s” become one “E”; A flourishing environment of education, employment and economic development opportunities in Maricopa.

Based on this philosophy: yes, I support the Maricopa Unified School District override!
