CCUSD Governing Board Mtg. 10/13/2026

The Cave Creek Unified School District Governing Board meeting was held October 13, 2026. The board approved a two-year memorandum of understanding with Marble Health, an organization the district has worked with previously, with staff indicating the agreement would also be reviewed by district attorneys. The board also approved a two-year renewal of its memorandum of understanding with the Town of Cave Creek, continuing the town’s service and support to the district. No contract amounts or competitive procurement details were provided. The board considered revisions to policies on conflicts of interest and revenue accounting, including changes related to fiscal year 2027 USFR requirements and an alternative deposit schedule.

The superintendent presented information about Proposition 320, a measure on the November 2026 ballot that would require qualifying districts to direct at least 60% of expenses to instruction, with annual progress requirements and potential penalties to classroom site funds for noncompliance. The presentation said the district’s current-budget projection for instructional spending was approximately 43.6% for 2027 and emphasized that the measure would provide no new funding. Board members discussed potential effects on staffing, student support, facilities, food service, and transportation; no related spending action was taken. The board also recognized employees and noted a booster-funded new scoreboard, but no district purchase was considered.
