Assistant Superintendent Mr. Quinones, presenting in place of the superintendent, told the board that donations listed on the agenda total \"over $22,000\" and that most were facilitated through DonorsChoose. He described the school as a community hub and highlighted partnerships and scholarship opportunities including the Cesar Chavez scholarship committee, Kiwanis and Rotary Club fundraising.

Board and site leaders used the meeting to recognize students and staff from multiple schools. At Casa Grande Middle School, site principal Samantha Sarnowski highlighted student achievements and extracurricular successes, including conference championships for JV and varsity girls basketball, and recognized individual students for academic and leadership examples. Staff and family volunteers were also honored; Sarnowski introduced staff members and parents being recognized for participation in family nights and community events.

At Ironwood and Mesquite elementary schools, principals and site leaders described student growth, improvements in attendance and school initiatives designed to boost daily attendance. Mesquite’s presenter described an attendance strategy that included targeted family outreach (about 47 parent meetings during conferences), monthly incentives and daily recognition events such as \"dot day\" where students arriving on time and staying all day can win prizes.

The board praised principals and staff for gains in attendance since COVID‑era declines, and members thanked volunteers and parents for supporting school events. The meeting also noted upcoming district events: state testing scheduled after spring break, an art exhibit at the public library on April 17 featuring student art (with the mayor scheduled to speak) and additional school‑level art shows to include more students.

No substantive policy changes resulted from recognition items; the board moved on to the consent agenda after acknowledgements and short presentations.

Provenance evidence: recognition and donations discussion begins with the agenda item for recognition of employees and students and concludes when the board moved to subsequent business.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","CGESD Governing Board Meeting - March 11, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","At its meeting, the Casa Grande Elementary School District honored students and staff from multiple campuses, noted more than $22,000 in classroom donations (mostly via DonorsChoose), and discussed attendance‑improvement efforts and upcoming state testing.","taxTitle","Casa Grande Elementary District (4446), School Districts, Arizona","taxId",64184,"location","Arizona","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6608066,"Casa Grande Elementary board approves $427,560.91 dashboard contract with DecisionEd",536,2222770,2759000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2942601-15535c36233b2e6861b1b00aac742665&start=2222&end=2759","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2942601-15535c36233b2e6861b1b00aac742665/thumbnail_2222770.jpg","/articles/6608066/Arizona/Casa-Grande-Elementary-board-approves-42756091-dashboard-contract-with-DecisionEd","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6608066-399fe26e2901501001583fa9036fc5a4/orig.mp4?Expires=1770535052&Signature=NnyENIZQh9-H37vsvshHw7Jq3D-EEmPqG4nLvJL-nb0grw0lLBMMerNHv940yq3GCVohgAJNFV3-DV8~BSmKpaMa08Pp1VyMpM7dZNG~oprBflJF-gG5~nfnqwegwL3MCXKreqe1iwacjJrTGLQjZmCkwTIO4Yea04nCYrA~lv8PL0-wOk8yXpb0h9m7fuTuKJ3wR332uXONJaG9Q~BRsF7J7Wf5sskU7p71BAbwboP39GNGZjn03JeiAj5OHXf5-ulwLGSHuQRKILvyrkduTUK9ITwZLPyE5JZU~ir5BspwFjNnUiGHgOsF8Z4Er1x2ClD6DuvwKo2q~lX4J95m0A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Casa Grande Elementary School District Governing Board voted to authorize the award of RFP No. 192-1524 to DecisionEd Group Incorporated, approving a five‑year agreement with total costs of $427,560.91 for a district data warehouse and dashboard platform.

District staff said the platform is intended to pull together data now held in multiple systems — student information, assessments, HR and finance — so staff can spend less time gathering data and more time analyzing it for classroom and district decisions. \"We recognize that we have an increased need to be able to use data in a usable manner,\" Lisa Bradshaw told the board during the presentation.

Bradshaw, the district staff member leading the RFP project team, said the district received 19 proposals, invited the top three vendors for demonstrations and ultimately recommended DecisionEd. The contract includes implementation and integration services, training and professional development, annual licensing and ongoing support. The implementation window runs from mid‑March through June, with an initial Phase 1 dashboard rollout targeted for July 1; DecisionEd will host annual licensing and support thereafter.

Bradshaw told the board DecisionEd already partners with a number of Arizona districts, which she said helped inform the district's selection. She also said the vendor will assist with creating the connections to the district's data sources and that DecisionEd can import spreadsheets where needed. \"DecisionEd is going to help us create those links,\" she said. She added the system will pull data nightly and can display district, school and individual‑student views.

Board members pressed on two practical points: who enters data and who will be trained. Bradshaw said the dashboard will pull data from existing systems and no direct data entry into DecisionEd will be required; data will be ingested nightly from the district's systems. For training, she said the district will use a train‑the‑trainer approach, preparing school site leaders (principals, assistant principals, deans, coaches and implementation specialists) who will, in turn, train classroom teachers and other staff.

Bradshaw also warned that the district must ensure source data are clean and consistent before visualization — for example, consistent naming for bus routes or categories — and that careful design with user audiences in mind is necessary to make dashboards useful.

The motion to award the RFP was made by board member Miss Sisson and seconded by board member Mr. Shute. Roll call votes were recorded as President Varela: Aye; Miss Sisson: Aye; Mr. Stavely: Aye; Mr. Shute: Aye. The motion passed.

Provenance evidence: the DecisionEd presentation began when Lisa Bradshaw addressed the board about the district's need for a unified dashboard and data warehouse and concluded with the roll‑call vote that approved the award.","The Casa Grande Elementary School District Governing Board voted to award RFP No. 192-1524 to DecisionEd Group Inc. for a five‑year data warehouse and dashboard platform.
