Gilbert Public Schools Board Meeting 3/3/2026

The Gilbert Public Schools Board held a meeting on March 3, 2026, which included an executive session for the appointment of Lindsay Duran as the new director of Career and Technical Education (CTE) for the 2026-2027 school year. The board unanimously approved her appointment. The meeting also featured a detailed work study presentation on the district's continuous improvement plan, focusing on goals such as culture, literacy, math and science proficiency, future-ready graduates, and support for special education and advanced learners. Discussions highlighted ongoing efforts to improve curriculum fidelity, intervention programs, graduation rates, and student success initiatives, including the creation of student success advisor positions to support at-risk students. While no direct procurement actions such as contract awards or vendor selections were discussed, the board acknowledged the importance of professional development and training investments related to curriculum adoption and instructional support. Additionally, the board debated potential changes to the 2026-2027 spring break calendar to better align with neighboring districts but ultimately decided not to alter the previously approved schedule.
