APS promises to keep its word to voters who supported the 2008 bond and mill levy elections.
The successful passage of the $215 million bond and the $14.7 million mill levy override measure in November 2008 allowed APS to fund construction projects and maintain programs and staff.
To see a full list of bond projects, visit the APS Bond Projects Web site.
Below is a breakdown of the mill levy commitments:
| Mill Use | Millions |
| Maintain staffing and programs | $ 4.1 |
| Dec. 2008 General Salary Increase of 2% | $ 3.8 |
| Full-Day Kindergarten | 2.6 |
| Instructional Technology | $ 1.0 |
| Equity & Engagement - Truancy | $ 1.0 |
| Fifth Block of Instruction | $ 1.0 |
| Pilots/Pathways/Magnets | $ .5 |
| Positive Behavior Support (PBS) | $ .3 |
| International Baccalaureate | $ .2 |
| Charter Schools | $ .2 |
| TOTAL | $ 14.7 |
Despite upcoming state reductions to our budget, these projects, programs and initiatives will continue to be fully funded using bond and mill override revenues, and they will not be reduced or cut as part of budget development. This is critical because we made a promise to our voters who supported the mill in 2008 and we have to keep our word.
