Littleton Elementary School District - 11AUG2026 Board Meeting

The Littleton Elementary School District #65 held a board meeting on August 11, 2026, focusing primarily on school year kickoff activities, community engagement events, and personnel matters. Key procurement-related discussions included the appointment of Veronica Feibella as the new Director of Finance following the departure of the previous finance director. The hiring process involved application screening, performance tasks, and interviews, emphasizing her expertise in school budgeting, finance compliance, grants management, and strategic financial planning. The board also discussed and voted on employment and professional growth items, including separations, leaves, and resignations, but several motions failed due to tied votes and will be revisited in future meetings. Additionally, the board approved the 2027 political agenda for the Arizona School Board Association and deliberated on delegate appointments for upcoming ASBA meetings, though some appointments were deferred due to lack of consensus. Community partnership efforts were highlighted, notably the successful back-to-school giveaway supported by local businesses such as Toyota of Avondale, Five Below, Target, and Raising Cane's, which provided resources to students and families. No direct contract awards or RFPs were discussed, but the finance director appointment and budget-related personnel decisions are significant for district financial management and procurement oversight moving forward.
