Good morning, Gilbert.

Nearly 3,600 high school students face a funding dispute as EVIT and nine school districts clash over control of CTE programs and transportation to Mesa campuses.

A judge is expected to rule on the issues before July 1 (with disagreements over $50 million in funds still unresolved).

A Maricopa County Superior Court judge questioned EVIT and nine school districts, including Gilbert Public Schools, to resolve a $50 million funding dispute over career and technical education programs (and student transportation to Mesa campuses) with a ruling expected before July 1. The dispute could affect 3,600 students.

Gilbert Public Schools awarded 1,236 seniors the Arizona State Seal of Personal Finance for the 2025-26 school year, up from 224 in 2023 (a 552% jump) that highlights their growing financial readiness for adult life.
