By collaborating with Mayor Rothschild, business leaders and community members, we developed an award winning strategic plan, brought 400 drops outs back to school, rolled up our sleeves and repaired dozens of buildings ourselves and traveled to Phoenix to advocate for public education. We are on track to achieving every goal within this 5 year plan and are working to build a public education alliance across the state to do better for our TUSD kids.
We’ve been recognized for this collaboration. Last year we won the Metropolitan Pima Alliance Common Ground Award for our 5 Year Strategic Plan, and just last week, it was announced that we’ve won another one this year for our Steps to Success collaboration with the mayor to bring over 500 students who had dropped out back to school.
As for our advocacy, TUSD has made a presence at the state capitol like never before. Our superintendent, Dr. HT Sanchez was recognized by the Arizona Capitol Times as the Testifier of the Year during the 2015 legislative session, for being such a convincing speaker about our work, that the Appropriations Committee stopped a bill in it’s track that would have defended our district of over $64 million.
