Phone Number Changes to 602-449-6600
"In order to comply with Arizona State procurement rules, and in an effort to streamline operations and reduce utility costs even further, PVUSD has to change their phone numbers across the district.  Phone traffic will be routed across our internal microwave network, thereby significantly alleviating the cost of leased lines from phone providers.  Funds provided through what is called "Excess Utilities" is being legislatively terminated in the 09-10 school year, requiring costs like phone and data services to be absorbed by the General Maintenance & Operations funds of school districts.  PVUSD is preparing for this action by converging and converting our phones now.  We appreciate your patience during this transition.  Our new phone number, effective July 1st, 2008 is
602-449-6600.  Thank you for allowing us to serve."
