HUSD Governing Board Meeting July 14, 2026

The Higley Unified School District Governing Board met on July 14, 2026, with all five members present. Key procurement-related discussions focused on proposed updates to the district's bidding and purchasing policy (Policy DJ) to align with new state thresholds, increasing the purchasing quote requirement from $10,000 to $15,000 to reduce administrative burden. Board members also suggested governance improvements including requiring documentation for cooperative purchasing, sole source procurement justifications, annual procurement reporting for small purchases, and emergency procurement documentation. Additionally, the board reviewed and approved a listing agreement with Nathan and Associates Inc. for the sale of district property, with modifications to remove leasing authority from the contract and clarify termination and renewal terms. The board authorized the superintendent to execute the agreement with these changes. An appraisal of the property was underway to establish market value. No other procurement contracts or budget allocations were discussed during this meeting.
