Deer Valley Unified School District wouldn’t immediately qualify for a proposal making its way through the Arizona Legislature to break large school districts in Arizona into smaller ones.
But the district’s superintendent isn’t waiting to make up his mind about the issue.
The Arizona House voted March 1 along party lines to advance House Bill 2546 to the Senate. The bill proposes that a county school superintendent is required to call an election to determine if a school district with a student count of 35,000 or more should be divided, and new, smaller district(s) would be formed.
