Brianna McDaniel, Buena assistant principal and CTE director, introduced student presentations on nursing, certified nursing assistant (CNA) training, HOSA (Health Occupation Students of America), JROTC and DECA. Students described hands-on experiences, dual-credit opportunities with Cochise College and community partnerships that led to certifications, internships and competition placements.

Kylie Scholl, a first-year nursing student, told the board the program \"has improved my leadership skills\" and pushed her to consider a career in medicine. Veronica Jimenez said students earned CPR and first-aid certifications and participated in community service activities such as Angel Tree drives and spa days at retirement homes. A CNA student described dual-credit courses and upcoming clinical experiences at Life Care.

CTE outreach coordinator Jennifer Coto summarized program monitoring results: the district completed the five-year program monitoring cycle with all 13 monitored CTE programs meeting 12 of 12 compliance points; five programs were designated for distinguished achievement (JROTC, engineering, home health, law and public safety, and marketing). Coto said the district is planning two new programs — fire science and network security — for possible implementation next year and highlighted continued partnerships with Cochise College, where seven students are currently taking welding classes and one is in HVAC.

Cadet Captain Kenzie Zekora, a senior in JROTC, described leadership growth and community service components of the program, saying, \"We are not looking to recruit anybody into the military. We are simply here to teach people to motivate them to be better citizens.\" Zekora also reported a 99 score on the program accreditation and noted teams competing in cybersecurity, raiders, drill, color guard and marksmanship events.

DECA students reported competition growth: one presenter said the district sent 55 students to district DECA competition and won 64 medals; the program is expected to send 43 students to the state competition in late February. Students and staff described fundraising that raised nearly $9,000 in December to support trips and competition costs.

Staff and student presenters emphasized workforce-readiness outcomes: dual credits with Cochise College, CNA clinical placements at Life Care, certifications that prepare students for entry-level health careers, and competitive opportunities that build communication and business skills. Administrators asked board members to attend upcoming events including the Buena Showcase on Feb. 12 and multiple spring competitions.

Board members thanked students and staff for the presentations and acknowledged February as CTE month. The presentations concluded before the meeting moved on to other agenda items.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Governing Board Regular Session 2/4/2025, 6:00pm","oneSentenceSummary","Buena High School students and CTE staff presented program highlights to the Sierra Vista Unified board, citing dual-credit partnerships, certification opportunities and competitive successes in HOSA and DECA.","taxTitle","Sierra Vista Unified District (4175), School Districts, Arizona","taxId",66979,"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},6604300,"Sierra Vista Unified board adopts 2025–26 and 2026–27 calendars, approves staff leave payouts and facility-fee waiver",403,2406000,2809000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2990106-491843f120995d4daf23a6c79909b62d&start=2406&end=2809","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2990106-491843f120995d4daf23a6c79909b62d/thumbnail_2406000.jpg","/articles/6604300/Arizona/Sierra-Vista-Unified-board-adopts-202526-and-202627-calendars-approves-staff-leave-payouts-and-facility-fee-waiver","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6604300-304131823c96be422518548371dd5953/orig.mp4?Expires=1771141816&Signature=PZB3HAB6-dRDGxJkx7UQx~dL0jrVDRUmPKkflKmnAcG89movu~k1q6h1-B~Xn7Y7moVwkKPQmYx9~0qc96SdTxDu3SOBkYWe2R0p0lB1vorWs4Px8yBdJtshShv4EEOfZzgQUoDWb5nxMYunhwH62nAUdk5udu9dKZ5FIAlkKL6vN~qTRxWcw-4AiBxbLh321bBgZo3Fi14q3xDhmdNLvuQLOPUHuhriqNBxEUIBj1TXH2rteMCjWWlQOUhk0kViqK5PZZcOQT7wNLfeQ77wqi8BpqjiqKR1xmVF3NXygECIMDBKI5A3I1SVZ3dur55l~Z1LOklvecDxKUJGqf8KDw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Sierra Vista Unified School District Governing Board adopted district calendars for the 2025–26 and 2026–27 school years and approved routine consent items at a regular meeting that began at 6 p.m.

The board voted to adopt draft A calendars for both school years after staff described the committee process used to build three options and summarized staff and parent voting results. Valerie Weller, the district public information officer, said the committee considered statutory requirements and staff schedules and noted: \"Winter break cannot exceed two weeks according to ARS 15-801.\" Draft A was selected by staff and parents and was recommended by administration.

A series of routine items were approved by the board during the meeting. The board approved annual leave payouts for employees with balances in excess of policy limits, waived facility fees to allow Cochise County Superintendent staff to use the Rothery Center Atria for a countywide training, and adopted the calendars for the two school years.

Votes at a glance:
- Approval of work-session and regular meeting minutes (01/22/2025): approved unanimously (4-0).
- Annual leave payout for employees in excess of policy allowances (policy GCD/GCDD): approved unanimously (4-0).
- Waiver of facility fees for Cochise County superintendent training (03/28/2025): approved unanimously (4-0).
- Adoption of 2025–26 and 2026–27 school calendars (draft A): approved unanimously (4-0).
- Adoption of the meeting agenda as presented earlier in the night: recorded as passing 3–1.

Board President Lee presided over the meeting. Administration noted that a calendar-development committee met in November and December, included administrators, teachers, support staff and parents, and returned three draft options for staff and parent consideration. Staff reported 268 staff votes and 401 parent responses across the calendar-selection surveys; draft A was the plurality choice in both groups for 2025–26 and a majority for 2026–27.

The board also handled several procedural requests during the meeting. A proposal from a board member to require human resources to submit certificated and professional applicants' resumes to the board for review was debated and ultimately tabled for legal consultation; the board asked administration to consult legal counsel before further action. A separate proposal to require the curriculum department to publish weekly schedules of classroom instruction and monthly course/module overviews on the public site was discussed; after initial procedural votes and discussion about teacher workload and the district's lesson-plan system, that item was also tabled for a future meeting.

Administration reiterated existing policy references during discussion, noting district policies GCD, GDD and KB and Arizona statutes cited by staff. Weller said that the district already posts Arizona academic standards on the curriculum page and that teachers use an internal lesson-plan platform (Common Curriculum) that principals review; making teacher lesson plans public would require additional work and teacher training.

The board moved on to other agenda items after adopting the calendars and approving consent items. No date for the legal consultation on the resume-review proposal was set during the meeting.","At a regular governing-board meeting that began at 6 p.m., the Sierra Vista Unified School District board adopted the district calendars for 2025–26 and 2026–27 and approved several consent items, including annual leave payouts and a facility-fee waiver for a county training session.","actionData","errors"]
