See the AZ Republic article on the subject here.
I am hoping we can go a step further and get on a year round schedule in the district. It is too hot in the summer here to have the kids home the whole time. (Then again, it is nice to leave town on vacation in the summer)

Article on district leadership retreat
We get this from the recent AZ Republic article on the subject:
Higley Unified School District Superintendent Denise Birdwell met with board members in a two-day retreat over the weekend and agreed that the district’s focus over the next few years should be on resources, academics, personnel and communication.

“From my frame of mind, I don’t want to go into the how,” Board member Paul Howell said. “Our job is to provide direction and let the staff determine how that direction is accomplished.”
