Kingman Unified School District #20 Monthly Board Meeting November 2026

Kingman Unified School District #20 governing board meeting, November 10, 2026. The board approved an intergovernmental agreement with the Sheriff’s Office supporting the district’s School Resource Officer program, a requirement tied to a recently awarded three-year grant; the agreement addresses officers’ certification. It also approved a new MOU with Arizona at Work for supervised, work-based student internships, with pilot placements planned in public safety, nursing services, and automotive mechanics. Eligible students would apply after at least two years in a relevant program and complete 60–120 hours. The board renewed a student-teaching placement agreement with Western Governors University and approved donations. No vendor contract awards or major purchasing bids were presented.

The board approved a 3.4% increase for approximately 400–450 hourly classified employees, with an estimated total cost of $425,000, effective in connection with Arizona’s minimum-wage increase beginning January 1, 2027. The board also approved changes to the visitors-to-schools policy and the novel The Alchemist. The superintendent reported school accountability results, including both district high schools earning B grades. Student advisers raised concerns about academic support, career preparation, and funding priorities; these were discussion points, not spending approvals.
