CRUHSD narrowing school superintendent search

The Colorado River Union High School District (CRUHSD) governing board voted unanimously late Tuesday night to narrow the search for a new school superintendent to two finalists. The two, one from Arizona and one from South Dakota, will return next week for more interviews and community forums.  Todd Flora, an education program specialist with the Arizona Department of Education’s satellite office in Flagstaff, and Timothy Mayclin, superintendent of the Kimball School District in South Dakota, were among five semifinalists interviewed by the board over two nights. There were a dozen applicants for the position. “We interviewed five excellent candidates,” said board president Lori Crampton. “We appreciate the time and energy…

Finally, nearly three months later, the divots and field markings are replaced by a pristine, emerald playing field, where the community and Fiesta Bowl organization…

Feasibility study approved to travel costs for board of supervisors meetings

Mohave County Board of Supervisors (BOS) meetings normally held in the Mohave County seat community of Kingman could someday be held in other northwest Arizona municipalities. District 5 Supervisor Ron Gould floated the proposal during Monday’s board meeting. “I think it would be interesting to actually take the Board of Supervisors show on the road, so to speak,” Gould said. Rotating the meetings to other communities, he said, extends citizen observation and participation opportunity to residents who otherwise have at least a 100-mile, round-trip drive to endure. Gould said the county might partner with city government for meeting space to…
