The Somerton Elementary District board on June 25 approved an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with the University of Arizona to allow university student teachers to be placed in district schools.

Board members were told the district currently has no agreement with the university and that the IGA had been reviewed by the district attorney. Staff said the agreement would permit a University of Arizona student teacher at BTS and possibly placements at other district schools.

The board approved the IGA by voice vote; the transcript records the motion, a second, and the clerk announcing "motion carries." Staff was directed to finalize paperwork and placement logistics. No dissenting votes or conditions were recorded in the meeting transcript.

Next steps: district staff will finalize IGA paperwork and work with the university to coordinate placements and timelines.
