The presentations combined Panorama student survey results, a Listen for Good client satisfaction survey for the district'run Family Resource Center, recruitment outcomes for international teachers and discussion of systems changes to strengthen MTSS and data integration.

Key results reported

- Panorama (student self'management, grades 6'8): the district reported 236 student responses and a spring rate of 65% of students responding favorably to self'management indicators, just below the interim goal of 66%. Staff noted the spring result improved from the prior year, and certain subgroups (female students; seventh and eighth grades) exceeded the goal. Staff pointed to the low response rate (15'17% of the cohort) and parental opt'in permission requirements as limiting participation and interpretability.

- Family Resource Center (Listen for Good): survey development concluded and 41 completed surveys were collected (Dec. 2024'Mar. 2025). The center exceeded its interim target: 41% favorable vs. a 25% target. District staff and the center'manager, Mr. Carvajal, highlighted: 100% of respondents said they would recommend the center; 91% said the center met their needs; 97% reported feeling respected by center staff; and 71% of respondents reported using the center to receive help with food, childcare, utility bills or clothing, often multiple times per month.

District response and planned changes

Staff described a set of system'level changes intended to address gaps and scale supports: (1) strengthening and systematizing MTSS (multi'tiered systems of support) across schools, including hiring a director role and four student support coaches focused on student supports; (2) implementing the RULER framework for Tier 1 SEL instruction with leader training planned for September; (3) adopting EduCLIMBER as a unified data platform and pursuing parallel administration of Panorama and FastBridge/SABERs for a year to allow correlation of measures before migrating; and (4) increasing coaching capacity, including optional classroom video reflection for teachers as part of the impact'coaching cycle.

Recruitment and staff supports

The district reported meeting an interim recruitment measure with 22 international teachers on H'B/J'1 visas employed this year (several separations and hires resulted in a net of 22). Staff noted recent federal pauses on visa appointments temporarily affected new candidate processing; district staff said the pause on some J'1 appointments was lifted recently and the district is working with its immigration counsel and pursuing residency sponsorship for three employees.

Workforce retention efforts included stay interviews: the district conducted stay interviews across sites and departments, collecting qualitative feedback from 71 certified and 48 classified employees. Staff said they will disaggregate stay'interview results by experience level and present findings to the board.

Board questions and concerns

Board members asked how the district will support students with the lowest self'management scores (example: a sixth'grade male special education student). Staff described MTSS, special education team collaboration, IEP processes, functional behavior assessments and targeted coaching as mechanisms already in place and acknowledged fidelity and systematization need strengthening. Board members requested clearer documentation on what will change for specific subgroups and asked for these planned interventions to be incorporated into future reports.

Why it matters: SEL, family supports and teacher recruitment are directly linked to student outcomes. Staff framed the Family Resource Center results as evidence of strong family engagement while acknowledging data gaps and the need to scale consistent Tier 1 SEL and MTSS practices across schools.

Next steps: staff will continue to strengthen MTSS implementation, run Panorama and SABERs in parallel for correlation, systematize data into EduCLIMBER with interventions and tracking, and return to the board with disaggregated stay interview results and updated interim measures where needed.

Kennedy Elementary School; Nicholas Lodato as principal of Excelencia Elementary School; Benjamin Parker as director of bond projects; and Jeffrey (Jeff) Guyer as director of facilities and transportation.

Hiring process and candidates: district staff described multi'phase searches for the positions. For the Larry C. Kennedy principalship, the district narrowed 9 applicants to 4 for in'basket activities and 3 finalists to interviews; Dr. Lauren presented Martha Lorena Hernandez as the recommended candidate. Hernandez has long service in the district, beginning as a dual'language sixth'grade teacher and later serving as an instructional coach and district special projects coordinator for innovation in the arts and sciences. The board approved her appointment; she thanked the board and described her focus on science, outdoor learning and inquiry instruction.

For the Excelencia principal vacancy, the district reviewed top applicants from recent principal searches and convened staff, teachers and student focus groups to vet finalists. The board approved Nicholas Lodato, whose résumé presented 22 years in education and a record of improving school ratings and third grade reading scores at his previous school.

For central office leadership, Benjamin Parker was recommended after a 12'person panel review; staff pointed to his 15+ years in operations leadership and multimillion'dollar project management experience and recommended him as director of bond projects. The board approved Parker.

Jeffrey Guyer, a long'time Creighton educator and administrator, was recommended as director of facilities and transportation after a 12'person panel and district executive interviews. Guyer served as a principal at multiple district schools and described the role as aligning facilities work to student outcomes; the board approved his appointment.

Votes and formal actions: each appointment was moved and seconded and passed with recorded \"Aye\" votes and no recorded nays in the transcript. The board also recessed briefly after the Larry C. Kennedy appointment for photographs.

Why it matters: these hires place school'level and facilities leadership in new roles ahead of the 2025'26 school year. District staff highlighted the candidates'operational and instructional experience and said the selections align with the district'wide Student Outcomes Focused Governance framework.

Next steps: appointees will assume duties July 1, 2025; district staff said onboarding and transition activities will follow.

The adoption followed a presentation from district staff that said the adopted budget is the same as the proposed budget and reflected the district's best available information while the Arizona Legislature resolves outstanding budget matters.

District presenter Miss Shapiro told the board the adopted figures mirror the proposed budget and that the district historically adopts budgets before every state and legislative detail is final. \"We typically ... do not know what the budget is, and we do go ahead and adopt the budget with our best information at the time,\" Miss Shapiro said. She said the district will prepare a revised budget when final state numbers and forms are available before Sept. 15.

Why it matters: an unresolved state budget or a temporary pause in state disbursements can create cash flow stress for school districts. Creighton administrators described reserves and short'term financing options intended to prevent operational disruptions and asked the board to approve readiness steps.

Staff said the district has a cushion in its fund balance reserve intended to allow operations to begin on July 1 without delay. Miss Shapiro noted several backup options if state payments are delayed: registering warrants with the county (a short'term mechanism to pay vendors and payroll) and short'term financing loans the district could pursue to cover operations until state funds arrive. She estimated reserves would cover several months of operations but said she had not produced a precise calculation at the hearing.

Board members pressed for more formal documentation of contingency steps. One board member asked that, if July 1 arrives and the state has not finalized a budget, the district provide a written plan describing next steps and how long the carryover balance would sustain operations. The board also requested staff prepare to call emergency meetings if needed.

Public comment: none. After the hearing, the board moved to adopt the total aggregate FY25'26 budget \"per ARS 15' 905\" as presented. The motion carried; no nays were recorded.

Next steps: staff said they will (a) publish a revised budget once final state numbers are available, (b) prepare a written contingency plan describing triggers and time horizons for registering warrants or seeking short'term financing, and (c) notify the board if and when emergency action is needed.
