The final Fountain Hills Unified School District Governing Board meeting of the 2016-17 academic year is set for Wednesday evening, June 28, with a possible teacher salary increase and budget adoption set to headline the proceedings.

During the action agenda, the Board will consider a number of items, including an intergovernmental agreement with Maricopa County Community Colleges for dual enrollment programs in the upcoming academic year, as well as board meeting dates for 2017-18.

Also receiving a vote tonight will be a 1.06 percent salary increase to all teachers for the 2017-18 academic year. This particular increase is actually a requirement of Senate Bill 15222 and the only real stipulation is that the teacher receiving the raise had to work for the district through the 2016-17 academic year.

The 2017-18 budget is also up for possible adoption at the June 22 meeting. The budget being proposed is the same as the one presented at the June 14 meeting. A public hearing of the $12.3 million budget will precede the adoption.

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

Retirement

On Monday morning, June 26, The Times received an addendum to this week’s personnel report stating that long-time athletic director, baseball coach and Fountain Hills High School Dean of Students Mike Briguglio will be retiring.

Briguglio began his tenure in FHUSD in the fall of 97 and began coaching the year after.

Amanda Baca, local educator and girls basketball coach, will take over as athletic director beginning with the 2017-18 academic year.

The high school will now begin the search for a new dean of students and baseball coach.
