TUHSD Governing Board
TUHSD Governing Board Members
Governing Board Members are elected to four-year terms in non-partisan elections to represent the residents within the district’s boundaries. Elections are held in November every other year. The majority of Board seats (three in our district) are up for election in presidential election years. Board members volunteer their time and meet several times per month. Boardsmanship requires a significant time commitment, not only in terms of meetings and related events but in preparation. Our Governing Board is a member of the Arizona School Boards Association.
Individuals interested in running for the Governing Board may request more information from the Maricopa County School Superintendent’s Office at (602) 506-3866.

PROPOSED TEXTBOOKS AVAILABLE FOR REVIEW
April 19, 2025 – During last night’s Governing Board meeting, it was recommended that the Board approve the adoption of health resources for use during the 2025-2026 school year. The recommendation was made by the Foreign Language Adoption Committee. The committee is composed of TUHSD teachers and staff members.
As a result of this recommendation, a 60-day review period will commence. The textbooks will be available in the lobby of the District Office during regular business hours through June 17, 2025 for further review by Board members, staff and members of the public. The District Office is located at 500 West Guadalupe Road, Tempe, AZ, 85283.
At the close of the review period, the agenda item will be brought back to the Board at their June 25, 2025 meeting for further discussion and final adoption.
Questions regarding the textbook adoption process can be directed to Mr. Steve Threadgill, Director of Instructional Services at (480) 839-0292.
