The Apache Junction Unified School District Governing Board unanimously approved a memorandum of understanding with Queen Creek Unified School District Sept. 17 to ensure migrant education services for the 2026–27 school year. Administrators said the agreement is an annual arrangement to maintain services for eligible students.
Superintendent Dr. Popalardo explained the arrangement to the board: “Well, they need tutoring or special services that's all handled through Queen Creek. Right. And those kids are eligible for those services there. They collect the money and they make sure our kids are serviced.” Board members asked clarifying questions and the motion to approve the annual MOU passed 5-0.
The agreement continues the district's practice of partnering with a neighboring district for specialized migrant education services rather than building a separate in-house program.
