Governing Board Meeting - 08/25/2026

The Apache Junction Unified School District Governing Board held a meeting on August 25, 2026, where several procurement-related items were discussed and approved. Key procurement actions included the approval of a contract with Zoho for an internet-based phone system, leveraging a consortium agreement and federal E-rate funding to cover 80% of costs, with the district responsible for approximately $550 monthly. The board also renewed a contract with AT Direct Sports Medicine to provide certified athletic training services for the district's sports programs. Additionally, the board approved a vendor list with purchase orders exceeding $25,000 to streamline expenditure approvals. Policy revisions related to procurement compliance, statutory exceptions, construction procurement, and delegation of authorities were reviewed and adopted, following recommendations from the auditor general. The meeting also covered administrative topics such as the approval of a work-from-home policy and the 2027 organizational chart. No new bids or vendor selections beyond those mentioned were reported, but the board emphasized ongoing monitoring and reporting of expenditures against approved purchase orders.
