Board asks ASBA to consider minor boundary-adjustment item for 2017 legislative priorities
Summary
The board authorized staff to submit request No. 7—seeking cleanup of minor boundary-adjustment procedures between districts—to the Arizona School Boards Association for consideration in the 2017 legislative agenda; vote 5–0.
The Peoria Unified Governing Board voted 5–0 to ask the Arizona School Boards Association (ASBA) to consider a proposed agenda item addressing minor boundary-adjustment procedures with neighboring districts.
Superintendent Dr. Santarelli and board members explained the issue: inconsistencies in boundary-change mechanisms can leave students attending Peoria schools while their property tax revenue is directed to neighboring districts. Board members and staff asked ASBA to consider cleanup language that would allow for legislative fixes to clarify and streamline minor boundary adjustments.
The board approved staff submitting the item (No. 7 from the district’s CLN list) to ASBA’s legislative committee for consideration; board members noted ASBA must whittle many district proposals into a manageable set of priorities. The motion to submit this item passed unanimously.
