EMAIL SENT TO SUSD PARENT FROM PRESIDENT OF SUSD GOVERNING BOARD ON FEBRUARY 28th, 2018

Dear SUSD Parents,

I write to let you know that our school district's Governing Board has named Dr. Amy Fuller to serve as Acting Superintendent while Superintendent Denise Birdwell is on administrative leave.  The action was taken last night.
Those of you in the Coronado Learning Community may recognize Dr. Fuller's name:  she is the District's administrator in charge of overseeing the Coronado Success Initiative, which began last year at Coronado High School.  She will continue in that capacity while serving as Acting Superintendent.

The Governing Board and I are most grateful that Dr. Fuller is willing to take on this assignment at this time.  We are confident she will serve your students and schools, our staff and SUSD well, and know that the impressive progress that has been made at Coronado during the past year will continue.  

I also want to let you know that the Governing Board voted formally last night to suspend the proposed Hohokam Elementary School and Central Kitchen projects.  We also instructed our legal counsel to pursue action to terminate the contracts for both projects.

Lastly, the Governing Board wants you to know that we continue to work collaboratively with the Attorney General's Office to resolve claims in the legal complaint it filed last week regarding work underway at Cheyenne Traditional School. 
Thank you for taking time to read this letter.  While the District is undergoing some difficult times right now, please know that your Governing Board is fully committed to restoring community confidence and pride in SUSD.

Sincerely,
Barbara Perleberg
President
SUSD Governing Board
