The Florence Unified School District governing board approved multiple administrative actions at its Jan. 13 meeting: a fiscal year 2026 expenditure budget revision, an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with Pinal County for radio communications, and the award of RFP 20,251,101 to Land Advisors to assist with sale or lease of three district parcels authorized in November.

Budget revision: The board adjourned briefly to a public hearing on the FY26 expenditure budget revision. A staff member described the revision as an update to capture the most current Average Daily Membership (ADM) numbers (November to December). There were no public speakers during the hearing. The board moved to approve the FY26 expenditure budget revision as presented; the motion was seconded and passed 4-0.

IGA with Pinal County: The board approved an intergovernmental agreement with Pinal County to participate in a radio communications program. Board members thanked district staff for negotiating terms that, according to the discussion, preserve district control over radio towers while enabling the program. The motion to approve the IGA carried 4-0.

RFP award for commercial real estate services: The board approved awarding RFP 20,251,101 to Land Advisors to assist the district in the sale or lease of three separate parcels authorized in November. Board members noted runner-ups included Nathan and Associates and "ROI." The motion carried 4-0.

Consent/Procurement note: During the consent agenda the board discussed and approved a sole-source rationale and final payment to a former contractor, Tanya Keys Christiansen, who had been contracted to maintain facility rentals during a staff transition; board members explained the contract covered work through Dec. 31 and that staff had transitioned responsibilities to a district employee.

All formal actions were adopted unanimously (4-0).
