Good morning, Gilbert.

Starbucks opened a new store in Gilbert at 49 S.

Higley Road in July—this location features a drive-thru and a cooled patio.

On September 16, Higley Unified and eight other districts hired a Phoenix law firm — Osborn Maladon — to help in stalled talks with EVIT over new CTE contracts; however, board member Anna Van Hoek opposed moving toward a lawsuit.

EVIT wants to keep more money and gain more control over programs for about 8,000 high school students and 24,000 district students, and discussions continue.

During a public comment on September 23rd, a Gilbert mother urged the public schools board to honor her 17-year-old son's do-not-resuscitate order even though state law does not require the district to follow the order, saying her son deserves to have his doctor's wishes respected in a medical emergency.

San Tan Charter School’s Montessori PreK-12 program reached two milestones—over 400 students are enrolled, making it the largest Montessori school in the Southeast Valley.

School officials said the steady growth and expanded outdoor learning spaces show why local families choose the program.

Ability360 explains that self-care for people with disabilities goes beyond spa days—helping them build independence and maintain good health.

Its Sports & Fitness Center and Home Care Services offer practical support while urging lawmakers, city planners and business owners to improve accessibility.
