Board approves amendment with Phoenix Children’s Hospital to continue mobile respiratory service
Summary
The Tempe School District board voted to approve an amendment to its agreement with Phoenix Children’s Hospital to continue the district’s access to the hospital’s breath mobile; board members described the service as important for families and students.
The Tempe School District governing board voted to approve an amendment to the district’s agreement with Phoenix Children’s Hospital to continue the hospital’s "breath mobile" services.
Mr. Lemon moved to approve the amendment and a second was recorded. During discussion, a board member said the service is "a really important service that our district is able to take partnership with," and that a large number of families use the program. Charlotte Windsor, participating by phone, described the relationship with Phoenix Children’s Hospital as important and expressed gratitude for the partnership.
Why this matters: the breath mobile provides on‑site respiratory and related health services that the board described as used by many families in the district; maintaining the partnership supports access to health services for students and families who rely on the program.
The motion passed on a voice vote with ayes recorded. Board members said they want to remain within legal requirements when amending contracts and thanked staff, including Michelle Gamaldi, for facilitating the agreement.
Next steps: the amendment will be executed as presented and the superintendent is expected to sign the document per board direction; the board signaled continued support for the partnership.
