Hello! Southern AZ Here

 Just to tell you, first-person, there is NO emergency at our southern border in Arizona.

Does immigration policy need an overhaul? Sure, but it's not the emergency that it is being portrayed. If there was, I'd be the first to speak up and demand help.

We lead peaceful lives and sleep well at night.

Disagree. Were you at the closed Lukeville crossing last spring and summer? Closed to US traffic due to the overwhelming numbers of illegals being sent north through MX.

Thanks to all for the correction. end of update   I suspect some who read this post will be irate. Why do this? Because the district seems very hellbent on this effort with no oversight skid marks from the Board.    To clearly state - I do not believe that closing 20 schools is a good idea. I think they hit on 20 because they thought it might bring in the most savings. But the jury is still out on the savings because the district has not shown its work nor its data. I suspect closing schools and THEN leasing/renting them is the big plan but that means the district really has to keep the buildings up.   But this district, with its happy talk about "well-resourced schools" is NOT acknowledging the pain and yes, gr...
