Getting to know Joshua Judd

Starting Jan. 11, the Maricopa Unified School District will have a new face on its governing board.

In November, MUSD had just enough candidates to fill the available seats on the governing board. That meant no vote by the public was necessary. Current board members Torri Anderson and AnnaMarie Knorr retain their seats. The third slot is filled by newcomer Joshua Judd.

Judd is a teacher in another district, but his three children attend Pima Butte Elementary.

“My overarching goal for service on the MUSD Governing Board will be to help guide the district to an ‘A’ rating. I am joining an award-winning team and humbled at the opportunity to serve my community,” he said.
