The governing board approved teacher and administrator hiring schedules and contract forms, authorized offering 2026–27 contracts to listed certificated employees, confirmed sufficient funds for a second retention stipend, and approved several additional staffing requests including adaptive cluster teachers and new intervention roles.
The Marana Unified School District governing board approved a package of personnel and contract items Thursday, including hiring schedules for certificated and administrative staff, contract forms, a district determination that funds are available for a second retention incentive stipend, and multiple additional staffing positions for 2026–27.
Miss Harper presented the certificated hiring schedules, ancillary stipends, extracurricular and coaching placement schedules, and contract forms; the board moved, seconded and approved offering contracts to the certificated employees identified in the agenda packet. The board separately approved administrator and exempt employee hiring schedules and contract forms for 2026–27.

On staffing, Miss Lancelot requested immediate and next‑year positions: an immediate year‑end adaptive cluster teacher at Gladen Farms Elementary; an intervention specialist for Marana Middle School; 1.5 FTE associate principal and 1.5 FTE electives intervention teacher; a music teacher for Tangerine Farms K‑8; and four adaptive cluster teachers for Educational Support Services to address growing enrollment. The board approved the staffing slate after asking about enrollment projections.
The motions were made, seconded and carried; administration will proceed with offering contracts and implementing the approved staffing changes.
