4-15-2026 Governing Board Meeting

The Tempe Elementary Governing Board held a meeting on April 15, 2026, which included several personnel approvals and a significant procurement decision. The board approved multiple project manager and principal appointments, enhancing the district's leadership team. A key procurement action was the unanimous approval of contract 261128, awarding design-build services to McCarthy Building Companies Incorporated and SPS Plus Architects for the rebuild project at Fees College Preparatory Middle School. This design-build approach combines architectural and construction services into a single contract to streamline the project timeline, with construction anticipated to begin in early 2027. Additionally, the board approved a revised facility use fee schedule to accommodate new facilities. Other discussions included updates on STEM educational initiatives and community engagement activities, but no further procurement actions were noted.
