School board may make Kleck acting superintendent tonight

Topping the agenda for tonight’s Maricopa Unified School District governing board meeting is the approval of the appointment of interim superintendent, Jeff Kleck, as superintendent and the approval of his new contract.

Kleck was named as interim superintendent in September after the board voted to reassign the previous superintendent, Dr. John Flores, to a post as Santa Cruz Elementary School principal in August. Flores remains under contract with the district until June 2011.

The personnel schedule, which is also up for board approval, lists the resignation/termination of Maricopa Wells Middle School Principal Isaac Perez, effective Feb. 10.  Perez was the first principal of Desert Wind Middle School, having been hired to open it in 2008. He came to MWMS following interim principal Shannon Hull’s move to the athletic director’s position at the high school.

On Jan. 22 Perez was placed on “assignment to home.” Maricopa Wells Teacher Eva Safranek was named interim principal there on Jan. 26.

High school agenda items include a report by Principal June Celaya on proposed changes in the high school class ranking process, as well as the potential approval of the high school’s course of study and course catalog.

Business services will be asking for approval to select an architect for the MWMS courtyard and a construction manager at-risk for the new maintenance and warehouse facility.

Additionally, the governing board will be asked to approve the Strategic Technology Plan for the next two school years and a board operating protocol.
