Humboldt Unified School District Superintendent Brett Dahl joins Prescott Valley Talks to break down Proposition 407 - a $79.6 million bond measure designed to upgrade district facilities without raising property taxes. As an existing bond expires, Prop 407 steps in to replace it, meaning taxpayers pay the same rate while schools get critical improvements. Brett also shares an exciting milestone: seven out of nine HUSD schools are on track to receive A ratings - making it the only K-12 A-rated district in Yavapai County.

From aging buses with 500,000 miles on them to HVAC systems past their useful life, Brett explains why this investment isn't just about buildings - it's about students, staff, local jobs, and the long-term strength of the Prescott Valley and Dewey-Humboldt communities.
