A Higley Unified School District governing board self-evaluation exercise erupted into a tense exchange after President Amanda Wade alleged that Anna Van Hoek violated communication protocols in response to a staff member’s personal social media post.
Van Hoek rejected the allegation that her use of district email to respond was inappropriate, and the dispute dominated a portion of the board’s review of its own effectiveness Dec. 9.
Wade introduced her concerns about consistency with policy as she began discussing board effectiveness.
