Our 2009 State of the Schools Address was an incredibly informative and exciting event! We learned so much from our amazing panelists and soon will be sharing with you their ideas on how to improve our educational community.

With the addition of Tempe Channel 11′s coverage of the event, the day’s messages and information will be available on several televised broadcasts and here on our blog after they air in mid-October.

We want to extend our gratitude to our sponsors who made this important event possible. Thanks to our presenting sponsor Ed Options; our silver sponsors Alphagraphics, Children’s Dental Village and Tempe Schools Credit Union; and our bronze sponsors Arredondo and Arredondo Insurance, Motorola, Rio Salado College and State Farm.

And of course, a heartfelt thank you to our moderator Margaret Garcia-Dugan, Deputy Superintendent of Public Instruction with the Arizona Department of Education and our event panelists Tempe Elementary School District Superintendent Dr. Arthur Tate; Kyrene School District Superintendent Dr. David Schauer; Tempe Union High School District Superintendent Steve Adolph; Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs at Maricopa Community College District Dr. Maria Harper-Marinick; founder and CEO of Pinnacle Education Dr. Mike Matwick; and Vice President for University Student Initiatives at ASU Dr. James Rund.
