Ajo Unified District board approves consent agenda, personnel changes, 2026–27 calendar and audit policy update
Summary
The Ajo Unified District (4409) governing board approved its consent agenda and several routine business items — including additional workshop hours for repair staff, extra baseball positions, the 2026–27 academic calendar, a name/grade change for an online school, and an update to audit policy DI to reflect the federal single-audit threshold — in unanimous 3–0 votes.
The Ajo Unified District (4409) governing board adopted its consent agenda and approved multiple personnel and business items at a regular meeting. Board members voted 3–0 to adopt the consent agenda, approve additional workshop hours for repair staff, add baseball coaching positions, adopt the 2026–27 academic calendar, approve a name/grade change for an online school, and update governing board policy DI.
The board moved to adopt the consent agenda after a motion and second. A board member noted local grant funding “totaling $8,000,” read aloud as $6,500 from the gaming commission and $1,500 from the board of regions. The motion carried 3–0.
Under personnel, the board approved two additional payroll/workshop hours for five repair professionals on Feb. 11 to complete augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) training. District staff said the two hours were requested to ensure participants could complete the training; the motion to approve carried 3–0.
The board next approved extra baseball positions after staff reported on recommended candidates. The transcript lists several names presented for coaching and volunteer roles; directors moved and seconded the appointments and the motion carried 3–0.
On business items, the board unanimously approved the proposed 2026–27 academic calendar presented to comply with district policy IC and state requirements. The board also approved a state-authorized change to an online program registered in 2010 as AZ2020 Academy: the state granted approval to reconfigure it from grades 7–12 to grades 9–12 and to rename it, and the governing board finalized that action.
District staff presented an update to governing board policy DI and related regulations to remove an outdated June 2016 reference and to align the district’s audit and financial monitoring language with current federal guidance. Staff explained the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) revisions increased the federal single-audit threshold from $750,000 to $1,000,000 for federal grants expended in a fiscal year, effective for fiscal year 2026 audits. The board approved the policy update 3–0.
The board concluded by asking for new agenda items (a morning J report was mentioned) and moving on with no further debate. The meeting record shows each action taken as approved by unanimous votes; no dissenting votes were recorded.
