Superintendent Dr. Driscoll used the meeting’s \"celebrate excellence\" portion to report campus projects and recognitions. Driscoll said Frank Elementary had partnered with volunteers and West Coast Arborist to plant 22 trees on campus and noted that Fuller Elementary received the Exceptional Educators award at the 36th annual mayor’s all-abilities awards (as announced in the meeting). Driscoll listed several upcoming recognition dates for district employees, including Administrative Professionals Day and School Bus Drivers Day (April 23); Interpreter Appreciation Day (May 1); School Lunch Hero Day (May 2); Teacher Appreciation Week in May and School Nurses Day on May 7; and Speech-Language Pathologist Day on May 18.

During the standing-committee reports, Mr. Lemon reported a board- and district-level decision to increase the district contribution to employee insurance to $9,650 and stated there would be “no change to employee or dependent contributions.” The committee presentation encouraged employees to consider health-savings and flexible-spending accounts and listed district wellness offerings such as extended yoga classes and free mammograms at the Brogan Center (as presented during the meeting).

Board members used the information items to acknowledge staff and community contributions: comments praised custodial and food-service staff for their work at early sessions, thanked donors who contributed tax-credit dollars, and congratulated the Tempe Elementary honor band and orchestra. Several board members described the district’s 150th-anniversary celebration as successful and thanked staff for organizing the event.

No formal motions or votes were required for the informational items presented during the celebration and committee reports.

The board announced upcoming dates: spring holiday (April 18, 2025); an agenda committee meeting on April 30, 2025; the next regular board meeting on May 7, 2025 at 7 p.m.; the Tempe Diablos Excellence in Education Awards ceremony on May 8, 2025; and a district retirement reception on May 14, 2025 at McKinney Academy of International Studies.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","4-16-2025 Governing Board Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","At the April 2 Tempe Elementary School District meeting, leadership celebrated school projects and awards, noted upcoming appreciation days, and a standing-committee report said the district will increase its insurance contribution to $9,650 while keeping employee and dependent contributions unchanged.","taxTitle","Tempe School District (4258), School Districts, Arizona","taxId",13627,"location","Arizona","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6595221,"Tempe Elementary board approves routine agenda items, delegates federal-grant certification to superintendent",164,1200000,1364000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3043190-516d7246573550f552a25d98cb519560&start=1200&end=1364","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3043190-516d7246573550f552a25d98cb519560/thumbnail_1200000.jpg","/articles/6595221/Arizona/Tempe-Elementary-board-approves-routine-agenda-items-delegates-federal-grant-certification-to-superintendent","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6595221-c2fbb23ccc9b705dd36ea00265fc2502/orig.mp4?Expires=1775315921&Signature=MI4mhbADlvKW3R9iedrLEaXotY-yOHYcrQ2b56SI2ofsCC7MaliYQh2v1MhNhedtVuk-3HwQt3JG399dm9PRZmc7aHJJmlJYGymZzgU-jJqBRJwLVn~zY8hmf1ayMEZTGb1yZTR2vBL1FhYr6No9jIOzsc8fsOkVMP4kRkXM2aRZ0Plfep1CQosm7vF7FiNg2eL2~MyDurIw~3uYcdEUBDPVkJJaq-Kc8zKkNTOqJfVMTT0qoSI1OVgVapISb7ZvJLp6240fnq5qXzcBKDXik7kP0BZgf52ZMok9C31PWKsCqBFWG1t2MuIm5P63ZREJeQZdvziOXyvv4MrNeUlH3Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Tempe Elementary School District governing board on April 2 approved routine agenda items, accepted donations and personnel appointments, and voted to delegate to Superintendent Dr. Driscoll authority to execute certification and assurances required by the Arizona Department of Education to establish eligibility for federal grant funding.

The board unanimously approved the meeting agenda, minutes from prior meetings, and the consent agenda. The consent agenda included acceptance of three community donations: $1,046.29 from Peter Piper Pizza; $2,000 from Desert Schools Federal Credit Union; and a $5,000 donation from Central Christian Church Tempe identified in the meeting record as associated with Connolly, Fees, McKamey, Moseley, Chamblee, Ward and McKinney Vento (as presented on the personnel/donation summary). Those donations were acknowledged by district staff and approved without separate discussion.

The board also approved two personnel items announced during the meeting. Rebecca Copeland was approved as principal of Aspire at Arredondo; Copeland told the board she is “absolutely thrilled to be here tonight” and committed to “continuing to promote an environment where every student feels valued, supported, and empowered.” Kevin Davidson was approved as director of facilities management for learners; Davidson said he is “looking forward to being the new director of facilities here, joining a winning team.”

On agenda item 9.01 the board moved and approved a delegation of authority that allows Dr. Driscoll to execute requests for certification and assurances issued by the Arizona Department of Education related to eligibility for federal grant funding. The motion passed with the board chair calling for the ayes and noting there was no opposition.

All formal motions listed in the meeting record passed; no recorded roll-call tallies or individual member votes were provided in the transcript. Where the transcript did not name a mover or seconder, the meeting minutes record the motion and the chair’s announcement that the motion carried.

The meeting closed with routine board reports, celebrations of school activities and announcements of upcoming district events.","At its April 2 meeting the Tempe Elementary School District governing board approved the agenda, minutes and consent items, accepted several donations and personnel hires, and voted to delegate to Superintendent Dr. Driscoll authority to sign certification and assurance documents required by the Arizona Department of Education for federal grants.","actionData","errors"]
