Superintendent Dr. Stacey Wilson said the trip marked the program's 18th appearance at the national finals and praised the students and staff for their work. She described the We the People program as a civic-education initiative that uses a congressional-hearing format to teach constitutional principles and democratic institutions.

Teacher Ms. Rund and student presenters described the program's impact. Senior Maggie LaRue told the board the experience changed her plans: \"I changed my major going into college after this. Civic education and programs like We the People are what make a difference,\" she said, adding that the program teaches civil discourse and how to work with others. The presentation credited several teachers and coaches for extensive out-of-school support.

Board members invited the team and staff to stand for recognition and members offered praise; one board member asked for a group photo. The board did not take further action beyond the recognition.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","TUHSD Governing Board Meeting: April 16, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Tempe Union board recognized Corona del Sol High School's competitive government team for placing in the top 10 at the national We the People finals in Virginia; students and teachers addressed the board.","taxTitle","Tempe Union High School District (4287), School Districts, Arizona","taxId",13626,"location","Arizona","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6598531,"Tempe Union names Noe Ochoa principal at Marcos de Mesa High School",476,178000,654000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3034198-62ba9ab5724572119fc77517520753ec&start=178&end=654","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3034198-62ba9ab5724572119fc77517520753ec/thumbnail_178000.jpg","/articles/6598531/Arizona/Tempe-Union-names-Noe-Ochoa-principal-at-Marcos-de-Mesa-High-School","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6598531-3447dfc93435055e8449624178bc10cd/orig.mp4?Expires=1771164989&Signature=i4TNtJp1v93e~Os-e18NcLhmkqWMRYe44XxOaaTiy6S-g3eS849hsEfRDkZFnTOdvF8~hSoI5lj268EULy3K4T1TQxXxF7oV34uCjzcG6H1RedtfOtVpyzX8RF7GFwNlhag2RQoTY~3JMEB8pkt9a-lYqUMmVknrW7w6vxlM2a8jqAd5tjZnt5-0zLsL0um9-DM2aF~zVIra-oG-eiar9NN-9Q5EZERaCiHT8HOYEbt5WPxnywaa8StmBOjM909bcAABsGU9D3SHlq3WIAvV3TNbsLfH9ImDX4ZdRIXP2WnYI6wd9Xw~JQIdUa7kQkbeWKYvrAHmbSWsFXkRuE~HMg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Superintendent Dr. Stacey Wilson announced that Noe Ochoa will serve as the next principal of Marcos de Mesa High School, describing him as the school's tenth principal and citing recent improvements in the school's performance measures.

Ochoa thanked family members and staff at Marcos during brief remarks to the board, identifying his wife Melissa and his two sons, and he praised the school's counselors, teachers and administrative team. He described his leadership approach as that of a coach: \"I will lead with pride and respect, and I'm all in,\" Ochoa said, adding that he views the role as head coach of the school community.

Dr. Wilson introduced Ochoa to the board and invited him to address the meeting; board members and attendees offered congratulations.

Steve Threadgill, presenting for Teaching and Learning, told the board the review was a collaborative effort among directors, content specialists, APAs and department leads. He said the goals were to align course offerings across sites, update course descriptions to reflect current instruction, and eliminate outdated courses. Threadgill said departments identifying updates included world language, English learners, career and technical education and special education.

Vice President Steele objected to the packet as presented, saying it lacked the proposed details she expected. \"So there's a lot of just blank information. We're approving course descriptions without any information is kind of concerning,\" Steele said during discussion. She also raised specific concern about the deletion of several special-education classes and asked, \"why are we deleting our basic biology?\" and questioned changes to courses that had been repeatable for credit.

After discussion, a motion to approve the revisions passed on a 3'2 vote. The meeting record shows a recorded \"nay\" during the final voice call; the board announced the motion \"passes 3 2.\" The motion and second are not identified by name in the meeting transcript.

Board materials presented at the meeting said the catalog changes include edits to course titles, descriptions and, in a few cases, credit rules (including whether a course is repeatable for credit). The Teaching and Learning presentation stated the district worked with site department leaders to ensure titles and descriptions match current classroom practice.

The board did not adopt additional direction at the meeting to delay implementation or to return the catalog for further amendment; the revisions were approved as presented.

The district also presented a separate recommendation for a world-language resource adoption (item G2) during the same Teaching and Learning update; that adoption will be available for public review if approved, from April 16 through June 16, according to the presentation.

The board's approval means the revised catalog will be used for the upcoming registration cycle unless the district takes a separate administrative action to amend it.","The Tempe Union High School District Governing Board approved revisions to the 2025–26 course catalog on a 3–2 vote after debate over deleted special-education offerings and changes to repeatable-credit courses.","actionData","errors"]
