HUSD Governing Board Meeting June 2, 2026

The Higley Unified School District Governing Board held a meeting on June 2, 2026, primarily discussing board communication protocols and a proposed revision to policy JJ regarding textbook and supplementary materials selection and adoption. The board debated the transparency and compliance of their current question-and-answer process related to agenda items, with legal counsel clarifying that the district's practice does not violate open meeting laws. The discussion then shifted to the supplemental materials policy, where board members considered proposed changes aimed at improving transparency, cost tracking, and periodic review of instructional materials. While some members supported updating the policy to include clearer guidelines and reporting requirements, others expressed concerns about adding restrictive language and preferred to maintain current policies, deferring procedural details to district staff. The board ultimately directed the superintendent to incorporate feedback and return with a revised policy draft for further consideration. Additionally, a contract approval for alternative transportation services with Everdriven Technologies for fiscal year 2027 was moved and seconded. The meeting concluded with plans for an executive session to discuss a land lease and sale approved by voters in 2024.
