Governing Board Special Meeting - 07/07/2026

The Apache Junction Unified School District Governing Board held a special meeting on July 7, 2026, primarily focused on personnel matters related to the superintendent. The board convened in executive session to discuss the superintendent's performance-based goals, pay, and contract extension. It was noted that the superintendent met all set goals for the 2025-2026 period but graciously waived the performance pay, which was approximately $15,600. The board unanimously approved the absence of performance pay and subsequently approved a one-year extension of the superintendent's contract through June 2027. The discussion also included plans to implement a strategic plan with measurable performance indicators and an evaluation timeline to improve accountability moving forward. No procurement or budget allocation decisions were made during this meeting.
