Fountain Hills USD board approves routine business, authorizes negotiations with Toll Brothers
Summary
In a largely unanimous series of voice votes the board approved the agenda, minutes, a personnel action, superintendent goals, an administrative resignation, two student field trips and instructions for representatives to negotiate with Toll Brothers on a land-sale matter; the board also approved the process to fill a vacant board seat and to post the application timeline on the district website.
The Fountain Hills Unified School District governing board approved several routine and specific actions during its regular meeting, including personnel, policy and field-trip items and an instruction to staff about a potential land transaction.
Early in the meeting the board approved the agenda and later approved the Nov. 5 minutes. The board unanimously approved a personnel action and voted to adopt the superintendent goals discussed at a prior meeting.
Board members accepted an administrative resignation (Kaylee Brown) under the district's relocation policy and noted that Brown will train her replacement. The board also approved a fourth-grade field trip to Kartchner Caverns and a fifth-grade overnight trip to the Grand Canyon; both motions passed by voice vote.
The board approved a process and application form to fill the vacant board seat; administrators said applicants may submit materials to the district or directly to the county superintendent and that the district will forward all applications to the county office. The board authorized posting the application and timeline on the district website and in district communications.
On a separate motion, the board approved instructions to designated representatives to negotiate with Toll Brothers regarding an escrow and land-sale transaction for district property. Staff described the motion as instructing negotiators and did not disclose contract terms during the public meeting.
Administrators also briefed the board on an addendum to dispose of approximately 250 Chromebooks that are beyond repair; staff said they were awaiting auditor guidance about vendor credits. No final vote on disposition details occurred at the meeting.
