School board to talk principals, contracts, meal plans and more

It’s going to be a busy night for the Fountain Hills Unified School District Governing Board, with a possible new high school principal hire, a look at proposed changes to the high school dress code, a report from the Vision Fountain Hills group and a presentation by VFW Post 7507 concerning Teacher of the Year honors making up the meat of the agenda.

This meeting is open to the public and will begin at 6:30 p.m. in the District Learning Center.

After last week’s interview committees worked their way through the top three applicants for the position of high school principal, Superintendent Patrick Sweeney will present his recommendation for hire, Cain Jagodzinski, to the board during tonight’s meeting.

Sweeney announced his recommendation within the Falcon Focus newsletter last week, stating that Jagodzinski is actually a former Fountain Hills Middle School teacher and high school basketball coach.

Along with a possible new principle at the high school, the board will consider renewing contracts for the other two district principals, too.

The evening will kick off with a special presentation by the local VFW chapter, who will honor nominees for this year’s Teacher of the Year recognition.

Also on the agenda is a presentation from Dana Saar, who will update the board on the current state of the Vision Fountain Hills program, including results from the recent survey and a roadmap of the months ahead.

Finally, along with a quartet of policy first reads, the board will hear from current high school Principal Tom Brennan, who will discuss proposed changes to his site’s dress code. Potential changes to the dress code, including edits to the dress code listed in the student handbook, will be discussed.
