Important Letter to Parents from Superintendent Calvin Baker
Dear Parents,
In the past, we have informed you about threats to the safety and well-being of students in our schools.
Today, we are writing about a threat to our students that is as significant as any others we have previously warned you about.
Leaders in the Arizona Legislature have developed a budget proposal for next year that would cut $1 billion dollars from K-12 education in Arizona. For Vail, that cut translates into over $8.6 million dollars — the equivalent of 141 full-time positions.

I am writing to my Congressman/Senators/Representatives and the President of the United States.
We should spend 20K per kid and give a huge pay raise to our teachers on merit. If their good keep them if not, get rid of them. All of our Vail teachers are Outstanding. Hit the substandard schools and make them perform for their money. But do not fund the prisoners of this state or others make them suffer not our children. Don’t dig out people from their debt because of their mistakes. Hold them accountable. What are we teaching our children.
Hold the CEOs accountable and the Public office holders. They are the examples to some of our children. Quit holding the hands of the incompetent and make them accountable.
