By Chase KampCopper Area News A bill in the state senate that would award education funding based on school performance has some local educators concerned that struggling schools will not get the dollars they need to turn things around. SB1333, which houses the model championed by Governor Jan Brewer in her January budget

proposal, would phase in $56 million in performance funding for K-12 education over the next five years. According to her proposed education outlook, the model aims to reward schools that maintain or improve academic achievement. Of that money, $38 million would be new funding and $18 million would be existing dollars reallocated from districts

and charter schools. The allocation of funding to districts and charter schools would be determined by achievement and improvement, both set by the annual A through F letter grades they already receive from the state Department of Education. Achievement funding would go to schools and districts earning a grade of C or higher. Only districts and schools that

jump a letter grade from the previous year would receive improvement funding. Districts and schools could only earn as much as $500 per student for achievement and $500 for improvement each year. The formula would be staggered in the first year, awarding only as much as about $180 per student. Districts and schools that do not earn achievement

or improvement funding would still contribute their per-student portion of the $18 million in reallocation. Some local education leaders are waiting to see how the bill shapes up in the legislature before remarking on the changes. Others are already getting a first impression of the direction of the proposed model. Hayden-Winkelman Superintendent Jeff

Gregorich said he supports the concept of trying to get schools more money and encourage them to improve. He also likes that there is about two new dollars for every one reallocated dollar. However, he sees a disadvantage for those schools not located in affluent areas.“It’s going to favor higher-performing districts, and

New bill would give schools certain funds based on performance

What does “Home Rule” mean to the residents of the Town of Superior?Home rule is a part of the State of Arizona Constitution, which was amended by Arizona voters in 1980 to limit the amount of expenditures by cities, towns, counties and community college districts. The phrase “home rule” comes from a section of the 1980 constitutional amendment that gives local voters a way to change the spending limit and also allows local voters to approve an exception to the state imposed expenditure limitation in their city or town. Because the issue can be decided by local voters, it is called “home rule.” Under the state-imposed expenditure limitation, a city or town may only spend a certain amount of funds. Regardless of the city or Town’s revenue or individual needs, its budget is limited by the state-imposed ceiling. Under the Home Rule Option, the city or town may determine its own expenditures based on its budget.

State-imposed limitationThe state-imposed limitation restricts spending by imposing a formula that takes a city or town’s 1979-1980 expenditure and multiplies it by a population factor and an inflation factor. “Home Rule” impact on the TownIf Superior’s home rule expenditure limitation is extended by voters, then the community’s expenditures for the next four years would be established by its budget rather than the State formula. It allows for greater flexibility and local control to address priorities and needs of the town. With Home Rule, town residents and the Mayor and Council will continue to decide what level of service is best for Superior. Home Rule allows the City to expend all the revenues it receives to provide services to residents.

If “Home Rule” is not approved, then the state mandated expenditure would limit the Town’s budget. The Town would be required to operate within the state imposed limitation until another election could be held. According to Town estimates it would be allowed to expend approximately $1,694,231.00. It would require cuts in the magnitude of $2,609,188.00. A reduction of this amount would come out of the general fund budget that pays for the pool, senior center, library, ambulance, cemetery and would limit the scope of public safety, streets, sanitation and administration.

“Home Rule” History Superior residents approved Home Rule in the last election nearly four years ago and we are currently in the final year of that voter approval. The Town of Superior initiated Home Rule in 1995, and it has been renewed every year except for in 2007, but it was reauthorized by voters in 2009. In 2009, Home rule and permanent adjustments have been voted on and approved in 75 Arizona Cities and Towns.

Home Rule Election DateThe election date concerning “Home Rule” is May 21, 2013.

most district performance is based on demographics,” he said. “It’s not going to favor the lower-performing districts, who you could argue need the money more.” Then again, he says, all districts in Arizona have been underfunded in the last few years as state funding suffered through cuts. “Money isn’t everything,” Gregorich said. “But class sizes are a function of money, and more teachers equals smaller class sizes. I don’t know that money solves every problem, but if you don’t have it, it certainly creates problems.”

By Mila Besich Lira BHP has announced that is has sold its Pinto Valley open pit mine and the San Manuel Arizona Rail Road Company to Capstone Mining Corporation for the sum of $650 million dollars cash. The sale is pending regulatory approval and is expected to be official later this year. Capstone Mining Corporation is a Vancouver, Canada based mining company. They own mines in Mexico and in the Yukon. They also have development projects in Chile and British Columbia. “Pinto Valley represents a unique opportunity to acquire a mid-sized producing copper mine in a well-established and low-risk mining jurisdiction with a significant mineral resource,” said Capstone president and CEO Darren Pylot. In the purchase Capstone will acquire the employees of Pinto Valley and SMARRCO along with the

Peter Beaven, the BHP Billiton President said the sale of Pinto Valley is an excellent outcome for BHP Billiton shareholders. “It is consistent with our strategy

and it takes the transaction value of divestments announced over the last 12 months to US$5.0 billion,” Beaven said. “We are pleased to have reached agreement with Capstone, particularly given their commitment to maintain our environmental and safety standards.”

FLORENCE, AZ – They represent business, farming, education, corrections, law enforcement, public health and other professions. They give tirelessly – each of the 12 logging in excess of 500 volunteer hours per year. But Pinal County’s Juvenile Court Community Advisory Board just got a big statewide thank you from Governor Jan Brewer after they earned

the Governor’s Volunteer Service Award in the Small Organization category. The 12 members making up the Community Advisory Board, or CAB, hail from nine different communities and provide essential community support to the juvenile justice system in Pinal County. Their mission is to ensure that the county’s practices reflect the best interest of youth,

Governor honors Community Advisory Board with Statewide Volunteer Service Awardfamilies, victims and the community. The CAB provides special services to youth on probation and in detention. An annual Youth Summit provided 80 probationers education on topics ranging from health and fitness to substance abuse and domestic violence prevention. “This is a very involved group of volunteers, it’s not just a steering committee – these people are involved with the youth providing mentoring, support and enrichment,” Program Administrator Donna McBride said. “Youth on probation or in detention depend on the involvement of adults who can mentor them and be models of success. No matter how they arrived in the juvenile justice system, our volunteers are there to illuminate the path forward

and onward to a successful future.” One of the annual signature events that the CAB presents is the Mock Trial Competition and it’s

the only one of its kind in Arizona. Nearly all of the county’s Superior Court judges volunteer their time for the day while as many as 200 middle school and

high school students take over the courthouse. The students learn firsthand about the justice system by being part of it. This year’s event in March marked the 11th annual Mock Trial Competition. Several of the CAB’s other high profile activities include: TALK! Visitors’ Mentoring Program, Probation and Youth Justice Center Incentive Program, Drug Court, Youth Summit and GED graduations. Several years ago, 11 Arizona counties had CABs but many folded due to a lack of state funding. Pinal’s CAB got together to discuss the funding plight. “There was no question in anyone’s mind, this group would carry on their work because it was too important to support the youth of Pinal County,” Program Administrator Donna McBride said. “The work they do on

By Mila Besich Lira Kourtney Urquijo and Jesse Aguilar have been named the Valedictorian and Salutatorian for the Superior High School class of 2013. The two have bright futures ahead and both are planning on becoming registered nurses. The two will address their class, faculty, family and friends on Friday, May 24, 2013. Urquijo has had her Valedictorian speech prepared for several weeks. Aguilar is still working on his. While they have had a relatively small class, only 22 graduating seniors, the two reminisced about their school memories during their interview. When asked what advice they would give to incoming freshmen, Urquijo

said “Work hard, your freshman year counts the most, and make lots of memories.” Both agreed that high school is a great time to make memories and they will miss the carefree days of high school. “College will require us to be more responsible,” explained Aguilar as the two discussed their college plans. Urquijo has been accepted to Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, where she recently received a $40,000 scholarship. Aguilar plans on using his Promise for the Future scholarship from Central Arizona College then he plans on transferring to GCU as well. The two are looking forward to the new responsibilities college

will bring. “You have to be responsible for yourself in college,” Urquijo said. There is no doubt that these two have what it takes to succeed in college. The two have held leadership positions in various clubs and organizations at SHS and have excelled athletically all while remaining in the top two spots in their class. These distinguished positions did not come without having role models and support systems, “My role model is my older sister, Christin,” explained Urquijo, also a graduate of SHS and is currently in her Junior year at GCU. “She started with nothing and has worked hard for what she has earned” For Aguilar, his role models and biggest

supporters are his parents. “They always push me to do my very best,” he said. “I like making them proud.” Both of the students agreed that they see a lot of potential in Superior for the future but are not sure there will be jobs for them in their future. The duo plans on keeping in touch

with their classmates and the community through social media such as Facebook. In an instant, their high school years seemed to have flown by and in a few weeks they will leave SHS as graduates. There is no doubt they will miss friends but they are excited to move forward into the

future. “This is just the beginning it is a whole new chapter,” Urquijo said. “We finally made it,” Aguilar added, “thanks to everyone who supported us.” Urquijo is the daughter of Jennifer Urquijo. Aguilar is the son of Tommy and Cassie Aguilar.

By Mila Besich Lira Superior High School seniors were awarded $74,500 in scholarships during the annual high school honors assembly. This amount does not include the scholarships supported by the United Superiorites Organization; those will be awarded later this month. Also not included are the CAC Promise for the Future scholarships. Angel Cardenas and Christine Grap were awarded the the US Army recognition award along with the Army Scholar Athlete Recognition. Cardenas and Grap have already signed commitments to join the US Army following graduation. After their service to the Army they will be eligible to use the Post 911 GI Bill that can be used for education for up to $120,000. The overall big winner for the night was Kortney Urquijo who was awarded the Grand Canyon University Scholarship, Woodmen of the World Scholarship, Superior Education Association Scholarship, David Montano Memorial Scholarship, and the Stephanie Ward Memorial Scholarship. In total she was awarded over $40,000 in awards to put towards her college degree program at Grand Canyon University. Resolution Copper was also another big contributor to the Honors Assembly, awarding three scholarships. Nicole Godinez was awarded the educational scholarship, Adan Villalobos was awarded the training scholarship and Jessica Fraijo was awarded the Steven L. Besich Leadership grant.

SHS Alumni Manuel and Sandra Silvas awarded their financial aid grant to Matthew Kipp. The Silvas grant is awarded to one graduating senior who expresses financial need for college. Local service clubs the Superior Rotary, Optimist and Social clubs also awarded several scholarships. The Social Club de Damas awarded Jessica Fraijo and Alyssa Barragan with scholarships. The Superior Rotary scholarships were awarded to Louie Fuentes


and Matthew Kipp and the Superior Optimist/Richard Castaneda memorial scholarship was awarded to Jessica Fraijo and Aliya Perez. Woodman of the World provided scholarships for Jessica Fraijo, Nicole Godinez,

Kortney Uriqujo, Yulissa Sandoval, and Aliya Perez. One way that Superior families like to remember their family members who have passed is with memorial scholarships. This year was the first year for the Stephanie Ward

memorial scholarship the recipients were Jesse Aguilar and Kourtney Urquijo. The David Montano Memorial Scholarships were awarded to Nicole Godinez, Yulissa Sandoval, Dominique Madueno, Jesse Aguilar

and Kortney Urquijo. The Lopez/Gomez memorial scholarships were awarded to Nicole Godinez and Aliya Perez. The Superior Education Association was able to provide three scholarships this year to Aliya Perez,

Yulissa Sandoval, and Kortney Urquijo. Pinal Federal Credit Union gives out one scholarship per high school in Pinal County for a student planning on attending CAC, Yulissa Sandoval received that scholarship.

Nicole Godinez received the Delta Kappa Gamma scholarship. After the scholarship presentations the faculty at SHS recognized top students in their classrooms and all honor roll students were recognized.

By Rev. Dennis Van Gorp Family Life Christian Center From Psalm 119:89, 105 we read: “Your Word, O Lord, is eternal, it stands firm in the heavens. Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.” Many people go to great lengths searching for guidance and direction for their life. They try all sorts of religions and self-help experts. Yet their journey

to fulfillment is fruitless and frustrating. In that respect, Christianity is not really a religion, rather it is an ongoing relationship with our Almighty God. We seek to develop a close friendship with our Lord. He is alive and we can regularly talk with Him, it’s called prayer. God gave us His written Word so that we could learn all about Him and

Pastor’s Corner – Thy WordHis ways of doing things. It is solid and allows us to gain direction and guidance for our life, finances, job, marriage and how to raise our children. Best of all, it has no end, it is forever. It never gets ‘out of date,’ it is always current. In the darkness of life’s difficult times, God’s Word

will shine like a light upon the path He knows we should take. He will not lead us down the wrong road. We can trust His guidance, because He loves us and wants the best for us. Life will be good as we follow and obey His Word. I would like to thank all of you who have been

praying for me recently. I spent some time in the Cardiac hospital and left after receiving three stent implants. Bypass

surgery was felt to be overly dangerous due to a weakened heart. Thank you and bless you for your prayers.

By Chase KampSuperior Sun The Superior Town Council held two work sessions in May with its financial consultant to create a plan of action to address its projected FY 2012-13 budget shortfall of $4 million. The amount primarily consists of inter-fund loan debt from the County and the state Highway User Revenue Fund, but Town expenditures have also annually exceeded revenues partly due to lower state shared funds and tax revenue. Among the aims of the ongoing budget talks are to prepare a five-year forecast and reach a council consensus on three general fund scenarios for the town to consider, said Pat Walker of Walker Consulting, who was hired

by Resolution Copper Company to assist the council through the budget process. As of the 2010 audit, the town owed about $1.5 million to HURF and more than $900,000 to the Pinal County excise tax fund. Walker insisted that decisions needed to be made quickly to offset the growing debt, as it is currently operating at a deficit. The town is projected to have a year-end expense overage of about $380,000. Walker reviewed the financial reality of a proposed intergovernmental agreement with the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office to take on police service in the town and shuttering the municipal police department. If signed, Walker’s data showed the

agreement would be a net cost savings to the town for the first two years, then a net loss for the next two. Projected police department costs for FY 2014 were around $769,000 while PCSO and dispatch services would be a little more than $715,000, for a savings of around $54,000 for the town. The savings amount would increase slightly the year after due to anticipated rising costs for continued police service. However, the proposed PCSO deal would up the cost of police and dispatch services to more than $820,000 in its third year and thereafter. This would come at a projected cost of about $20,000 for the town in FY 2016 and $4,345 in FY 2017. Some possible scenarios Walker presented for

Superior reviews possible budget optionsadded revenue included charging for ambulance

refusals, reviewing primary property tax use

restrictions and additional sales tax.
