M&O Override Community Meetings The Glendale Union High School District must hold a special election with approval by the majority of voters
to continue the current maintenance and operations (M&O) budget override. The Governing Board has authorized a
citizens’ committee to review the M&O budget in order to make recommendations on whether or not to call for the
election and to recommend program cuts or reductions if the override funding is not continued.
Public presentations are being planned to provide information and to gather input from our community. The
format calls for the communities of three schools to gather at one location. While it is preferred you attend the
presentation with your school, if your schedule does not allow for this, please feel free to attend any of the presentations.
Your attendance and involvement in this decision-making process is important to the students of our district.

Spring 2018

What is a Maintenance and Operations Budget Override?
A school district’s budget is limited by law, yet school districts may ask voters for direct funding to supplement budget
allocations from the Legislature. With approximately 85 percent of the M&O budget used for staff salaries and related
benefit costs for the district’s 2,000 employees, community support is necessary to maintain current programs or services.

DECA Recognizes Outstanding School-Based Enterprises and SMG National Qualifiers
The Ram Shack, Washington’s School-Based
Enterprise, was among 391 school-based enterprises in the
United States achieving Gold Level Re-certification this
year that will be recognized at DECA’s International
Career Development Conference (ICDC) in Atlanta,
Georgia. The students who worked on the certification
were Nancy Marrufo-Aguilar and Axel Lujan with the
assistance of their advisor, Tim Mayfield. The school-
based enterprise at Washington High School has operated
for ten years and is to be commended for this achievement.
Participants in the SIFMA Foundation Stock Market Game
(SMG) develop and manage a virtual investment portfolio of stocks,
bonds, and mutual funds with a beginning balance of $100,000. The
SMG is conducted via the internet and allows DECA members to
test their knowledge and skills against other DECA members in an
online competition. Each participating team manages all aspects of
the portfolio including asset selection, buying, and selling. The goal
of the competition is to increase the value of the portfolio.
This year, Washington student competitors Nate Limas and
Alfred Epps will be recognized at DECA’s International Career
Development Conference (ICDC) in Atlanta, Georgia. Nate and
Alfred competed against over 3,000 other students from the
Western Region of the United States and finished 23rd overall with
a portfolio ending balance of $128,257.49. The team was one of
only seven other teams from the State of Arizona that qualified for
ICDC in the Stock Market Game.
Washington Art Students Win Awards WHS senior, Juliana Nguyen, won three separate awards at the
New Horizons High School Student Art Exhibition at the Shemer Art
Center on January 20, 2018. Juliana received the May Family Award,
the Linton Barnhill Award, and the Arizona Artists Guild Award for
her ink drawing titled, Somber.
Julia Johnson won a
design contest sponsored
by the Arizona Citizens
for the Arts. Her winning
design, pictured on the
right, was printed on tote
bags provided at the
Arizona Arts Congress
event on February 19,
2018.
WHS Students Donate to Children Washington’s Educators Rising chapter collected 1,582
gently used books and donated the books to Maryland
Elementary School. The National Honor Society assisted in the collection of the books.
The Educators Rising club also donated over 50 pieces of new sports equipment to the students at Maryland
School. This included 10 footballs, 15 soccer balls, and 25 basketballs. The following groups contributed funds to
pay for the sports equipment: DECA, NHS, and Educators Rising. Educators Rising and NHS also sent over 30
volunteers to help Maryland with its fitness night.
Students Sewing for Others A group of Interact Club students have been
learning to sew for others. Under the guidance of WHS
nurse, Mary Freeland, English teacher, Jill Green, and
science teacher, Maggie Mott, these students have made
and donated bags, quilts, baby accessories, clothing,
and even eyeglass cases.
Rotarian and former GUHSD Superintendent,
Jim Keiffer, picked up 300 eyeglass cases sewn by the
Interact Sewing Club. The cases and eyeglasses will be
distributed in Peru.
Students Volunteer at Community Garden Washington Interactors like to get their hands dirty on
the weekend, especially if it is digging and planting in their
favorite spot: Growing Together: A Giving Garden. This
community garden, located near the high school, grows food for
those in need in the local community.
“It’s one of our favorite
service events,” said Jill Green,
who advises the campus club. “It
is awesome for the students to
see the gardening process start to
finish each season, and knowing
our harvest is going to those in
need is a bonus.”
The community garden
has set up an Adopt-a-Bed
program where a group plants
and nurtures a plot through the
season and 90 percent of the
harvest is donated to those in
need.
DECA students Nancy Marrufo-Aguilar and Axel Lujan
