Pinal Partnership seeks support for CAC bond

Recently, the Board of Directors of Pinal Partnership voted to give a $10,000 check to the political action committee that is working to pass a bond for Central Arizona College (CAC) this November 4th. The reason the Board did this is because we know how vital Central Arizona College is to the future of Pinal County.

From nurses to police officers to fire fighters, no institution trains more people in Pinal County than CAC.

As you know, our county has experienced explosive growth over the last few years – but CAC hasn’t been able to keep pace. Part of the reason is the lack of money to expand into areas where the population has boomed the most.

If this bond is passed, CAC will use the money to build campuses in Maricopa and SanTan/Johnson Ranch and to renovate and modernize their existing campuses: Signal Peak, Superstition Mountain and Aravaipa. Money will also go to their many learning centers across the county.

If we hope to bring local jobs to our county, we need a stronger CAC to train the workforces that will attract major employers.

CAC is also essential to our K-12 school system. Teachers coming in from out of state need to get training to become certified in Arizona, and teachers who are already here need to continue their education to remain certified.

As you can see, CAC is a huge piece of the puzzle that is Pinal County’s future. That is why we feel it is important for the Board to donate – and also for individuals, like you, to do the same.

If you or your company would also like to donate, you can do so – being a ballot measure, corporate money is fine, and there’s no limit to how much you can donate. Your money will be used to get the word out to our widespread population about how important this bond is to the future growth of Pinal County.

Please make your check payable to: Educate Today, Excellence Tomorrow Committee and mail it to:
