Well, that was quick! It feels like I blinked and summer break was over, but it was packed from start to finish.
Your A.A.P.T. board met over the summer for our Summer Workshop and made great strides. I’m excited about our plans for the 2025 Annual Fall Conference, which Liberty Elementary School District will host in Goodyear this October.
We also received fantastic news that the Arizona State Fairgrounds will be available for the School Bus Safety Road-eo, with an alternate date in February. This means not having to relocate in 2026, cooler weather and breathing room to find the perfect new home.
Governor Hobbs has appointed the members of the Student Transportation Advisory Council which held its first meeting recently. Since Arizona Minimum Standards haven’t changed much since 2008, this committee’s work will be crucial to some much needed changes. The next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, August 13, 2025 and can be accessed online at - meet.google.com/gnr-nmev-uxp
With all that momentum moving us forward, I wish you the safest and most successful school year. I look forward to seeing you all at the fall conference.
