Superintendent’s Report – Dr. Scott Hagerman
State of the State
Dr. Hagerman announced he attended the State of the State earlier this week as a guest of Senator Bradley. Senator Bradley serves on a subcommittee relating to the School Facilities Board (SFB). He is asking for updates relating to the progress of our SFB projects and has offered to help keep the process moving forward.
2018‐19 Calendar Update
Dr. Hagerman described to Board Members the process he implemented this year welcoming everyone, who chooses to, to weigh‐in on the 2018‐19 Calendar. The proposed calendar includes input we’ve received from the survey, (parents, students and staff) site councils, and the calendar committee (parents, staff and administration) is now under review by the transportation department and we are confirming there aren’t any concerns with the instructional minutes. Once this process is complete, the calendar will be presented to the Governing Board for consideration and approval.
Certified FTE 2018‐19 SY
Dr. Hagerman announced certified 2018‐19 certified contracts will be sent out sometime next week. Recruitment season is officially underway; we will be involved in local job fairs and are registered to participate in the U of A job fair. We hope to have all positions filled by March.

Legislative Report – Mr. Jeff Neff
Mr. Neff said that he, unfortunately, was unable to attend the State of the State due to illness and was happy to hear Dr. Hagerman was in attendance.
Mr. Neff reported that Governor Ducey is experiencing political pressure to try and fix education funding. The economy is picking up which may help, but they are still trying to figure out how to fix the funding.
A Legislative District Town Hall with Senator Bradley, Representative Engel and Representative Clodfelter is scheduled on Saturday, January 20, 2018 from 10 a.m. to 12 noon at the Miller‐Golf Links Library 9640 E Golf Links Rd.
Mr. Neff also discussed Proposition 301 which is set to expire in mid‐2021. State Rep. Doug Coleman is proposing (HB 2158) to permanently continue the education sales tax. The sales tax will be gone unless voters approve an extension of the tax in the 2018 or 2020 election or if two‐ thirds of the stateʹs 90‐member Legislature passes legislation to maintain the funding.

Mr. Ruiz attended a JTED meeting last week, with other business owners to try to promote JTED education in Arizona schools and funding. Mr. Schalk said he is involved Southern Arizona Manufacturing Partners (SAMP) which is a group of Manufacturing Business owners who are involved in and wanting to help develop a workforce through JTED. The four main trade groups represented are Automotive, Agriculture, Precision Manufacturing and Construction – adding, Legislators need to hear from business owners as well as educators.

CALL TO THE PUBLIC
