Good morning, Gilbert.
🎓 Education
GPS staff worked all summer to get ready for the new school year by checking 190 buses, cleaning classrooms, and setting up kitchens so that students have safe and ready campuses.
Ron Sessions and building managers began work early at 6 a.m.—replacing HVAC filters and inspecting buses—to support over 7,000 students.
Gilbert Public Schools' board voted 3-2 to not renew its membership in the Arizona School Boards Association for the new school year; the board said the district no longer uses ASBA to set policy and get training.
Some members stressed that ASBA sessions helped them manage budgets and improve operations—while others were concerned about the organization's politics.
Gilbert college students earned awards this spring by receiving degrees or making the dean’s list at their colleges.
Nishant Korapati earned a Bachelor of Science in Computer Sciences at University of Wisconsin–Madison—Abigail Klinkhamer from Shorter University, Amanda Rhodes from Wichita State University and Gunner Rodarte from Aurora University were honored—showing strong local academic achievement.
