Amphitheater Public Schools Governing Board — What to Watch

Tuesday, October 20, 2026

SPECIAL PUBLIC MEETING — 5:30 PM

Amphitheater Board to Set Superintendent Search Timeline and Stakeholder Survey

The Amphitheater Governing Board will consider a timeline and stakeholder survey for its search for a new superintendent whose term would begin July 1, 2027. The board will also consider state building renewal grants and up to approximately $2,000,000.00 in vouchers on its consent agenda, along with a resolution honoring substitute employees.

Board to Map Out Search for Next Superintendent

The board will consider approving a timeline and a stakeholder survey for the search for a superintendent whose term would begin July 1, 2027. The superintendent leads the district's 11,256 students (2024-25) and its staff. The search plan would set the schedule for hiring that leader. The stakeholder survey is listed as part of the process, which would give families, staff and community members a formal way to weigh in. The item is listed under Study/Action, so the board may discuss it and vote at the same meeting.

Consent Agenda Includes State Building Renewal Grants

The board will consider approving Arizona Department of Administration School Facilities Division Building Renewal Grants. Terms-and-conditions documents for five separate grants are attached to the item. The agenda does not list the dollar amounts or which school buildings the grants would cover. *(Consent agenda)*

Up to Approximately $2 Million in District Payments

The board will consider approving vouchers "totaling and not exceeding approximately $2,000,000.00." These are payments of district funds. The agenda listing does not itemize which vendors or expenses the payments cover. *(Consent agenda)*

Resolution Would Recognize Substitute Employees

The board will consider a resolution declaring the third Friday of November "School District Substitute Employee Day." The resolution would recognize the substitute employees who fill in across the district's schools.
