A motion to establish the executive session on May 19 carried. Later in the meeting the board called for an executive session under Arizona Revised Statutes 38‑431.03(A)(9) to discuss security plans and critical infrastructure with the Director of Student Services and the Director of Safety Operations; that separate executive session item was made under the statutory citation noted in minutes.

The scheduled May 19 executive session is for the superintendent's evaluation only; the board indicated this scheduling is intended to preserve the timeline for goal‑setting and goal approval.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Dysart Governing Board Meeting - May 5, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Governing Board set an executive session for May 19 to conduct the superintendent's year‑end evaluation, aligning that schedule with a June 2 study session to develop district goals and a July approval timeline for the superintendent's goals.","taxTitle","Dysart Unified District (4243), School Districts, Arizona","taxId",13624,"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},6559608,"Board renews multi‑year intervention contracts, tables Adobe MAX travel after curriculum concerns",503,2881000,3384000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3199244-699cd3aea2ae5737eb8bf7769ab300ef&start=2881&end=3384","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3199244-699cd3aea2ae5737eb8bf7769ab300ef/thumbnail_2881000.jpg","/articles/6559608/Arizona/Board-renews-multiyear-intervention-contracts-tables-Adobe-MAX-travel-after-curriculum-concerns","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6559608-d2a1517d56fa53e85181867480b7d735/orig.mp4?Expires=1771153631&Signature=b3PmVOZXkE22OYyR3bExGcllzbCsSGVve5Il4V0f75lq7h2FbqLKbNtF-skUXhptBXRr4ADyfR~ecux8EYfiejQo89pCwIbQ0voRFe9BNfC7IZrv5Qv3YBN1Ezgr8uNvKaiM9qYvTREQvJBqDQC4bH5zeM7lBAdrqty0XvFJqUH0EuKQcWYQJkWKuinJs3FywkrrVk1~T2t3p~zCeUuGhK-6vzWyu8Gt9zQ~-wD8rgGR2Dj35nTgNouxXz~9~nqNc3JE-JtkrZoJT7OVNwW1YaBGjNQZmQe81XyrfwQl1Ahu3PMFstIAIO-f-CqQSCav0AyjLDuSBZLosSc2sAceEQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Dysart Governing Board approved a slate of multi‑year contract renewals for the 2025‑26 fiscal year, including math and reading intervention services, but tabled an out‑of‑state conference attendance while staff examines online alternatives.

Board member Maricela Zayola raised concerns about material she encountered on the Savvas (referred to in meeting transcript as \"Sabas\") curriculum provider website, saying some supplemental content appeared to include equity and anti‑racism material that she described as approaching \"indoctrination.\" \"It just seemed like it had worked more towards indoctrination than education,\" Zayola said.

District staff responded that curriculum adoption is a months‑to‑years process, that the board previously approved portions of the vendor's materials while rejecting others, and that staff would hold a study session to review state standards, curriculum mapping and supplemental materials so board members can better understand how standards and purchases align. \"We will lay that out for you very soon,\" Dr. Cardo said, describing a planned working session on curriculum and standards.

On travel, staff requested approval for multiple overnight and out‑of‑state trips for district employees. The board approved the requests as listed but tabled one item: attendance at the Adobe MAX conference in Los Angeles, which staff listed at an estimated $12,600 and would have sent two additional public relations staff. Board members suggested investigating online training alternatives before approving the expense.

A motion to approve the multi‑year contract renewals passed; the meeting record shows the motion carried. Board members asked staff to present a curriculum study session in the near future and to return with additional documentation on the Adobe MAX cost and available online training options before approving the travel request.","The Governing Board approved multi‑year renewals for math and reading intervention contracts and other vendor renewals, discussed concerns about Savvas curricular content, scheduled a curriculum study session, and approved out‑of‑state travel except for an Adobe MAX trip which was tabled for further review.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6559613,"Dysart board approves three administrative appointments including director of curriculum",271,1424000,1695000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3199244-699cd3aea2ae5737eb8bf7769ab300ef&start=1424&end=1695","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3199244-699cd3aea2ae5737eb8bf7769ab300ef/thumbnail_1424000.jpg","/articles/6559613/Arizona/Dysart-board-approves-three-administrative-appointments-including-director-of-curriculum","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6559613-77013a0b58c673a0d7af1b9ab344146e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771153631&Signature=eAao9VHod0H3Nwh9evKHhdmjDckk0jctpqXLa1iezm4UJXwFjgjWrdN51kR2a~bkROKQB0LKCdEr6MQ41PRFgFlj5v~8f46iXTYsKB3Hh1E4wbzfdNLp-K01DzZ6hVLDm7Fh1UiWhrXdB7jpiG99Sx0XtV6THhGgHIvjHty7Zt1T4oQl7DGq3ybYRtLQ8sOOPmk6v1eXs6vALGAcPjh2RiKB1ZABduQ39xRq1jywwGtvU5VcxT1yKlzJh7PjJdYvAWx2SHPs6a31MGVQhNW3IfSQDKy5KSi7MbNuvuZnW9Fa9lyay4dqmm7ddFSosQuraLbHohqLGCmCPx0qB5d7zg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Dysart Governing Board approved three administrative appointments during its meeting.

The board approved the appointment of Andrew Frazier as director of curriculum, instruction and assessment for the high school level.

The board also approved Amy Crow as interim principal at Freedom (elementary) for the 2025‑26 school year. Staff described Crow as having about 19 years in education, including two years in administrative roles in the district.

Finally, the board approved Michael Barola as interim assistant principal/athletic director at Willow Canyon High School for the 2025‑26 school year; staff said Barola has more than 17 years in education, previously served four years as an athletic director in another district, and has been teaching physical education in Dysart for two years.

Kristin Conway, audit manager for Heinfeld Meach, told the board the firm issued an unmodified opinion on the district's annual comprehensive financial report — the highest-level, \"clean\" opinion — and that auditors found no adjustments required to the district's accounting records. \"The district received an unmodified opinion,\" Conway said, summarizing the annual comprehensive financial report.

Conway said the auditors performed procedures under government auditing standards and uniform guidance for federal compliance, reviewed the district's single audit and the USFR (Uniform System of Financial Records) compliance questionnaire, and noted there were no internal control findings reportable in the single audit.

Finance staff reported the USFR questionnaire covered 71 items and the district received five \"no\" responses on that instrument, giving Dysart a 97.08 percent compliance rate on the questionnaire. Marydell Bridal, who presented the summary for the district, said the results reflect extensive work by finance staff and school site personnel. She also noted the auditors identified a single, isolated instance related to a missing birth certificate for one student; district staff said they performed due diligence to locate the document but it was not on file.

The board moved to accept the audit and compliance questionnaire; the motion carried.","External auditors gave Dysart an unmodified (clean) opinion, no required accounting adjustments, and a 97.08% pass rate on the USFR compliance questionnaire; the board accepted the audit package.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6559621,"Dysart board adopts final revised FY 2024-25 budget, directs one‑time state funds to capital",254,660000,914000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3199244-699cd3aea2ae5737eb8bf7769ab300ef&start=660&end=914","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3199244-699cd3aea2ae5737eb8bf7769ab300ef/thumbnail_660000.jpg","/articles/6559621/Arizona/Dysart-board-adopts-final-revised-FY-2024-25-budget-directs-onetime-state-funds-to-capital","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6559621-3c96479059454608881cc0fa6d7e90fb/orig.mp4?Expires=1771153631&Signature=JHUzb932i8UxV~Tt5n-hETe01xWpXKCN5mQZqR2eFhuPlTbP-6YZW5ouVSmRaJtjWeR6hLCyiqEVeeb~AlPDFYTt54VM5tvIRot44JGG8rTVLLopFfnGwtGLxw6sBNKVbpiBMg02kp-twfvIQFgQJZh4UQG6jXl64H80kI6no8WSJBwqAqYvRx2K5XS-l1~u3D2CWZ2NNQo58dehI4Tgetx05syjgNJEXpLlsM-HIOgupMV09~adt-0iI6btxamZ91g3gcGBEN6FQsqCBv9WrWDwPTMmJc1LY1ZrTARnBxaQHB4~RiBxRirrlULSxMs6O-iHms~H95IxdllDzqy4tg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Dysart Governing Board on Monday approved the district's final revised expenditure budget for fiscal year 2024‑25 after a public hearing and staff presentation.

The revision incorporates a modest increase in average daily membership that raised the capital budget by about $122,000, reallocates roughly $750,000 in Proposition 1, 2, 3 funds from maintenance and operations into capital, and places one‑time supplemental state funds of about $1.3 million into capital rather than into ongoing operating budgets. \"We know that these are not guaranteed ongoing funds by the state,\" said Ms. Faidell, who presented the revised budget to the board, \"so we wanted to be sure we didn't embed them into ongoing operational costs.\"

Board members were also told the district's unrestricted capital fund limit increased by about $2.2 million after the reallocations. In addition, the district reported a $1.6 million increase in the Emergency Building Renewal Grant program, attributable to the Marley Park Central plant project that the School Facilities Board has approved and recently funded, allowing the district to move forward with related purchase orders.

Other changes noted in the revision included small adjustments to federal and state grant carryforwards reflected in special projects, a minor correction in the food service fund to reflect current nutrition program activity, and routine programmatic updates in regular education, special education and transportation.

District staff reminded the public that the full budget packet, audit reports and the annual comprehensive financial report are available on the district budget website. The motion to approve the revised expenditure budget passed on a roll call vote; the meeting record shows the motion carried and the board recorded affirmative votes during the roll call.

The board was told the district must submit final budget revisions to the state by May 15; staff said the revised figures now align with that requirement and reflect the board's earlier actions recognizing the Marley Park project.","After a public hearing, the Dysart Governing Board approved a final revised FY 2024‑25 expenditure budget that reallocates one‑time state supplements and Proposition funds to capital projects and recognizes state funding for the Marley Park Central plant project.","actionData","errors"]
