Fact checked September 21, 2026
The ballot question
Proposition 426 asks one legal question: whether voters will grant the Amphi Governing Board the requested property authority.
Grants the requested authority.
Does not grant the requested authority.
What neither vote does: Neither choice immediately sells a property on Election Day. The official text says the district currently has no plan to sell a listed parcel and that any future sale decision, if authorized, would be made by the Governing Board.

This second chart separates the authority a Yes vote would grant from other information voters may consider. It does not recommend a vote.
The Governing Board could sell, lease or exchange all or part of any of the six listed properties.
The measure covers six properties with different locations, current uses and redevelopment characteristics in one authorization.
Proceeds could fund school sites, buildings, improvements, equipment, technology, student transportation vehicles and other permitted capital expenses.
The ballot does not earmark proceeds for a named project, school, transportation purchase or property-specific replacement plan.
The district would gain flexibility to respond to future capital needs and property conditions.
No buyer, transaction price, appraisal, sale schedule or proposed future use is identified in the ballot text.
The official text states that the district currently has no plan to sell any of the listed parcels.
Future decisions would be made at the Governing Board's discretion after voters grant the authority.
Current Arizona law limits how proceeds from school-property transactions may be used.
The ballot notes that existing law may change. The measure itself does not state a sunset date or require another property-specific election.
The public assets
Acreage alone does not determine value. Access, zoning, current use, improvements, utilities, environmental conditions and public replacement costs all matter.

Important distinction
The Arizona Department of Education's July 2025 CTED list identifies JTED@Amphi Land Lab as a Pima JTED central campus. A separate Pima Community College instructional location at the address was reported closed in 2022. Those records do not establish the Land Lab property's complete operating status in 2026, so Amphi and Pima JTED should provide current program, enrollment and utilization information.
