Arizona Tax Credit in the Foothills
The Catalina Foothills School District is a wonderful school community! It is impressive tosee a community with such a commitment to educational excellence and support of theschools here in the Foothills. CFSD would not be the district it is today without thecommunity that surrounds and supports it! The success of our schools' extracurricularprograms is tied to the generous contributions of community members who divert some
of their state tax funds to the CFSD programs of their choice!
How does it Work?
Any Arizona taxpayer has the opportunity to give to Catalina Foothills School Districtinstead of paying it in taxes. The donation must be earmarked for support of one of ourmany qualifying fee-based, extracurricular activities. We'll send the donor a receipt fortheir records. Then, when the taxpayer fills out their 2013 Arizona state taxes, they cansubtract the amount of the donation, up to $400 (joint filers) and $200 (individuals), fromwhat is owed in state taxes. This is not just a tax deductionit is a tax credit thatreduces the amount of taxes owed to the state, dollar-for-dollar. For more informationabout how this credit will work for your individual tax situation, contact your tax advisor.
How are these Dollars Spent?Tax Credit dollars are spent to support fee-based, extra-curricular offerings. However,regular communication between Ms. Boling and Community Schools leads to a beneficialpartnership that also helps support the needs at Ventana Vista, as dollars are spent toserve a joint purpose. Currently, we are working together to expend tax credit dollars forthe purchase of additional iPads, cases, and a cart. Students will utilize these iPadsduring the regular school day, as well as through Community Schools after schoolclasses.

Arizona school district to follow a prescribed procedure and timetable for admitting out-of-

attending a school outside the attendance area of their residence). All students who currently
attend CFSD schools and reside in other districts, and all CFSD resident students who are
attending a different school than they would based on their residence, are impacted by this law.
We require that all open enrollment students apply for admission each year.Therefore, if your child is a resident transfer (open enrollment) student and you want him/her to
continue in that capacity, or if your child resides outside of the district and you want him/her to
continue to attend a CFSD school next year, please complete an application form between
December 1, 2013, and February 28, 2014.

process are on the district web site, www.cfsd16.org(as of December 1, 2013), orat the district office Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The district office is located
