The Lake Havasu Unified School District Governing Board on July 31 unanimously approved the appointment of Aaron Horvath as the district’s director of Human Resources.

Board members voted to confirm the recommendation after a presentation introducing Horvath’s background. The board’s presenting remarks said Horvath has more than 17 years of service to the district and has advanced through roles including substitute teacher, paraprofessional, administrative assistant, accounting specialist, HR specialist and HR supervisor. The presentation also said Horvath holds a degree in business administration with a focus in marketing from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and is certified through the Arizona Department of Education in CTE business and marketing.

The recommendation was made as Item 3.1 on the special-session agenda. A board member moved to approve the appointment and another seconded; the roll call recorded affirmative votes from Michael Kern, Evelyn Tinsley, Lisa Romand, Matthew Houston and David Groves. After the vote, the board invited Horvath to join them at the front of the room and congratulated the candidate.

The meeting record includes a biographical description presented by board staff highlighting Horvath’s district experience beginning in 2007 and noting connections to district programs, including a mention that Horvath has family who attended district schools. The presentation framed the candidate as experienced in district operations and confidentiality in personnel matters.

The board did not discuss a contract term, start date, or salary in the public presentation; those details were not specified in the meeting record.
