Board members directed Kyrene staff to survey employees and community members on calendar options with 176 instructional days after reviewing the results of Tempe Union's survey in late January. The Kyrene survey will ask participants to give feedback specifically on a 176 day version of the calendar receiving the greatest support in the Tempe Union survey. More information will be forthcoming as it is available regarding the methodology Kyrene will use to survey in late January and early February. The committee will be composed of 10 at-large community members, five teachers and representatives from employee associations, departments and other committees that may have a budget impact. If you are interested in serving on this committee, please apply by Friday, December 1st .

New Governing Board Members Elected Robert Briscoe and Slade Mead were elected on November 7 to fill two of three seats on the Kyrene School District Governing Board. The third seat will be filled by one of two write-in candidates who will be named once those votes are tallied. The new board members will replace outgoing members Gretchen Boyer, Stephanie Brill and Glen Davis. If you will be attending, please let us know by calling 783-4101. The attorney general's ruling that early kindergarten students do not qualify for state funding has presented challenges for all districts offering these services.
