The Chandler Unified School District Governing Board held a regular business meeting on September 9, 2026. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of the 2026-27 Proposition 301 pay-for-performance plan, which outlines performance-based compensation for eligible staff, and the approval of the 2026-27 Journey to Excellence board metrics aimed at focusing district goals on equity, student achievement, college readiness, district choice, and resource optimization.
