As the Grand Canyon Unified School District faces a vacancy on its Governing Board, Cheryl Mango-Paget, the Coconino County Superintendent of Schools, is actively seeking public participation in the selection process. An advisory committee, featuring district residents along with an existing board member, is set to interview candidates and thereafter present their recommendations to Superintendent Mango-Paget, as reported by Coconino County. To involve community voices, the superintendent has opened the floor to email feedback from constituents regarding the potential appointees.
According to an announcement on the county's website, individuals interested in shaping the educational framework of the district can send their insights via email to Superintendent Mango-Paget directly. Two candidates, Ashton Bedford and Daniel Hendrix, have thrown their hats into the ring, vying for the open seat and the opportunity to influence the district's governance. With the January 17 cutoff for public input fast approaching, stakeholders are encouraged to weigh in soon.
In line with the desire for community engagement, feedback on the candidates should be routed to Superintendent Mango-Paget at [email protected], as per Coconino County. For additional details on the ongoing selection procedure or any other inquiries, the Program Coordinator for the Superintendent’s Office, Stacy Fobar, can be reached at 928-679-8070. Emails are also welcomed at [email protected].
