• Superintendent’s Report – Dr. Scott Hagerman
Menu Assessment – High School Assessment for 2018‐19
Dr. Hagerman shared with Board Members that Districts now have a menu of standardized testing options from which to choose. The alternatives to AzMERIT at the high‐school level could be the ACT or SAT tests. Our experience with AzMERIT was mixed, some
students rigorously prepared while others did not take the test seriously. The ACT, and SAT tests have college implications for students.

A meeting was held on Monday, June 11 at the high school that included parents, teachers and students introducing the testing options and to solicit input. Dr. Hagerman has been in communication with other Pima County districts gathering information as well. A formal recommendation will be presented for Board consideration at a later date.

There were two requests from the audience to address the Governing Board.

Mr. Nathan Bacal, Programs & Elections Manger with Pima County School Superintendent’s Office introduced himself as the point‐person for district bond and override elections, as well
as school board candidates who are filing for office. He stated: “As you decide today, whether
or not to seek an election, I want to let you know that The Pima County School Superintendent’s office is behind you 100%. I look forward to working with the Tanque Verde Unified School District during
this process. If you have any questions please contact me, I have provided you with my business card. Thank you for your time and the important work that you do on behalf of your district, teachers and
