override election information
Dear Saddle Mountain USD Parents and Community,
Thank you for your support of SMUSD’s maintenance and operations override election! We are grateful for our community’s support for our students and our schools. SMUSD has had a maintenance and operations override in place since 1985, and your passage of its renewal in 2020 by a nearly 600 vote margin is a tremendous show of support for the district and public education in this community.
Continuation of the M&O Override:
- Provides for staff to maintain smaller class sizes in all grade levels
- Maintains the improvement of instructional programs, including full-day kindergarten
- Attracts and retain quality teachers and support staff
- Continues fine arts, career, and technical education programs
- Continues athletics and other extra-curricular activities
- Maintains existing schools
Please feel free to contact the superintendent for further information about the override.
