Hackberry board votes to seek state approval to expand Cedar Hills to K–12
Summary
The Hackberry Elementary School District board voted 5–0 to sign and send a formal letter to the Arizona State Board of Education requesting permission to expand Cedar Hills School to include high school grades.
The Hackberry Elementary School District #3 Governing Board voted Dec. 9 to ask the Arizona State Board of Education for permission to expand Cedar Hills School to a K–12 campus that would include high school grades.
The district reported it has contacted the Arizona State Board of Education and was advised that a formal letter from the governing board is required to proceed. The board approved a motion to sign and send that letter: the motion was made by Valerie Grimes, seconded by Pam Adams, and passed on a recorded 5–0 vote.
Board members did not detail a timeline for grade expansion during the meeting, but the approval authorizes staff to submit the formal request and begin the state-level review process. No formal curricular or facility plan was approved at the Dec. 9 meeting; board discussion focused on the procedural step of requesting state approval.
Next steps noted at the meeting are submission of the formal letter to the State Board and subsequent follow-up as directed by any state requirements or instructions.
