Reference source not found. Identiﬁed causes:  \n1. Empowerment Scholarship Accounts (ESA). The universal expansion of ESA’s across Arizona has been detrimental to the enrollment in Tucson Uniﬁed. Approximately 2% of the total statewide enrollment in ESA’s is comprised of students from Tucson Uniﬁed.  \n2. Birth Rates. The birth rates across Arizona have declined by 20.3% since the FY2020 . In Pima County, the decline of school-aged children has declined by 5%, which has a greater impact on Tucson Uniﬁed as the largest Southern Arizona school district.  \n3. Immigration/Mobility. The greatest decline in enrollment across the State has been the  \nmobility away from large, urban school districts like Tucson Uniﬁed towards suburban school districts and other school choice models. In Pima County, the three largest urban school districts have lost an average of 10% in student enrollment since FY2020, while enrollment in suburban district has increased by an average of 7% . Moreover, the political climate in Arizona and around the country, families of mixed immigration backgrounds are ﬁnding themselves making diƯicult choices to move out of Tucson Uniﬁed.  \n4. Charter Schools. Charter schools continue to be a competitor in the school choice options across Tucson and Pima County. Charter school enrollment comprises about 2 out of every 10 students in public schools in Pima County, with the majority of charters located within the boundaries of Tucson Uniﬁed.  \nTucson Uniﬁed School District No. 1 | January 9, 2026 1  \nPlanned mitigating actions:  \n1. External Consulting: Tucson Uniﬁed contracted with an external consultant, Caissa K-12, to work with the district’s Student Placement & Enrollment (SPE) Department to create a strategy focusing on students who have withdrawn from Tucson Uniﬁed, submitted an enrollment form and did not register or were no-shows for the 2025-26 school year. The consultant engages with families to connect them with the SPE Department to reconnect them with a Tucson Uniﬁed school. Finally, this is a performance-based contract.  \n2. Media Campaign: Tucson Uniﬁed has implemented a strategic media campaign to create messaging around the unique programs and opportunities oƯered in district schools. The focus has been around standout programs in Fine Arts & Performing Arts, Career and Technical Education, Magnet schools, and college-preparatory programs unique to Tucson Uniﬁed. The media campaign included direct mail solicitations to families in areas beyond Tucson Uniﬁed, as well as families who were enrolled and left the district.  \n3. Expanded Transportation: Tucson Uniﬁed has expanded student transportation for all students who wish to attend a Tucson Uniﬁed school. The Governing Board changed the boundaries to increase eligibility students living in the district. The district provides student transportation services to all open enrollment students, with bus stops extending beyond the boundaries of Tucson Uniﬁed.  \n4. K-6 School Models: Over the last 2 school years, the Governing Board has authorized the creation of 13 K-6 elementary schools. The expansion of a 6th grade into these traditional K- 5 elementary schools enabled the district to help retain students who are promoting to a middle school. Tucson Uniﬁed has found that one of the steepest declines in student enrollment is between elementary and middle school grades, with almost half of these students not returning to a high school in Tucson Uniﬁed. By retaining these students in their elementary for 6th grade, it has enabled the district to create a stronger foundation to prepare elementary students for middle school, while increa","cbCaibLtQGXIZqWx","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibLtQGXIZqWx","pdf",127604,"English","# Financial risk action plan\n## Risk area 1\n## Planned mitigating actions\n## Estimated financial impact of planned mitigating actions\n## Risk area 2\n## Identified causes","[{\"question\":\"What are the main drivers of Risk area 1 in the plan?\",\"answer\":\"Risk area 1 attributes enrollment changes to ESA expansion, declining birth rates, immigration/mobility patterns, and charter schools competing for students within Tucson and Pima County.\"},{\"question\":\"What mitigating actions does the district plan for enrollment stabilization?\",\"answer\":\"The plan includes external consulting to reconnect withdrawn families, a strategic media campaign highlighting district programs, expanded transportation for open enrollment, and the creation of additional K-6 elementary school models.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the plan estimate the financial impact of these actions?\",\"answer\":\"Estimated impacts include stabilizing the district’s financial picture by about $3.8 million over three years and additional budget stabilization of roughly $1 million related to improved retention from 6th grade through the 2025–26 timeframe.\"}]","Tucson USD Financial Risk Action Plan 2026 Final | PDF"]
