PXU Budget Advisory Committee - September 24, 2026

The Phoenix Union High School District Budget Advisory Committee convened on September 24, 2026, primarily to discuss staffing models and budget planning related to equitable resource allocation across schools. The committee reviewed various staffing models, including student-to-teacher ratios and professional agreement caps for counselors, teachers, and classified staff. They emphasized the importance of maintaining compliance with Title I comparability requirements to ensure equitable distribution of local funds before federal funding is applied. The discussion included considerations for different school sizes, special programs, and operational support roles. No specific contract awards or procurement decisions were made during this meeting, but the committee planned to continue refining staffing models and budget projections in future meetings, with a focus on demographic studies and community input.
