The Sierra Vista Unified School District governing board approved several routine and personnel items at its Feb. 4 meeting.
Consent agenda: With no public comments, the board approved the consent agenda, which included a personnel action report with added stipends. A board member cautioned that state officials have expressed concern about the district's financial condition and urged careful review of expenditures; the consent agenda passed 4–1.
Personnel: The board accepted the resignation of professional staff member Aliyah Schultz, effective Feb. 6, 2026, and approved a requested waiver of $1,000 in liquidated damages under policy GCQC. Both items passed 5–0. The board considered but denied a requested leave extension for support staff member Heather Wolf (requested 01/29/2026 to 03/11/2026) based on site needs; denial passed 5–0.
staffing and programs: The board approved the creation of a Title I teaching position at Joyce Clark Middle School to provide small-group, evidence-based intervention for students who need targeted academic support. The motion passed 5–0.
E-Rate technology funding: District staff presented E-Rate projects totaling $176,031.37 for eligible equipment and services, with an estimated 80/20 funding split that limits the district cost to approximately $36,000. Administration recommended approval and the board approved the E-Rate funding 5–0.
Donations: The board accepted two donations from Better Meals — $1,500 for general district use and $100 for students at Huachuca Mountain — with gratitude (approved 5–0).
The meeting adjourned after information items and scheduling notes. Several items required follow-up documentation by staff, including Human Resources records for the resignation and the recording of the waiver per policy GCQC.
