HUSD Governing Board Meeting May 5, 2026

The Higley Unified School District Governing Board held a meeting on May 5, 2026, which included recognition of student achievements in performing arts, HOSA, and CTE programs. The board reviewed and approved the fiscal year 2026 budget revision number two, discussing revenue adjustments, expenditures, and the impact of state funding changes. They also gave tentative approval to the fiscal year 2027 capital outlay budget, which included allocations for textbook adoption, software costs, and a potential bus replacement due to an accident. A significant procurement-related discussion involved approving a property lease agreement with AZ Aspire to utilize vacant district space at Power Ranch Elementary, generating additional revenue and supporting special education services. The board authorized an expenditure of $111,062.85 to Copper State Pavement Inc. for a parking lot project at Power Ranch Elementary, noting the use of a preferred vendor under an existing contract to expedite the work during the summer break. Policy updates related to instructional materials and leadership development were also mentioned, with further review planned for future meetings.
