Apples draw attention to school’s override campaign
By Raquel Hendrickson | InMaricopa
Maricopa will be taking on a decidedly apple flavor next week with a new opportunity for residents of all ages to show their support for the school district’s override bid.
“’Apples for the Override” is a promotion for the override that people are going to see in local businesses they go to daily,” said Joshua Judd, who is on the Vote Yes, Maricopa committee.
Maricopa Unified School District is seeking a 10-percent budget override, which is on the Nov. 8 ballot.
Paper apples will be available at cash registers of participating businesses. Supporters of the override can can also donate to the cause and they can write their names on the apples and have them displayed in the store.
The idea for “Apples for the Override” was Judd’s after he saw the kind of attention similar campaigns received for other causes.
