Change Comes to SUSD Schools & Investigation by Arizona Attorney General
Change is coming to Scottsdale's public schools.
Voters in the district approved a $229 million overhaul in 2016. But as the Scottsdale Unified School District (SUSD) has rolled out their plans, some of the same members of the community who supported the project began raising objections. After months of contention between the community and the district administrators, the district has hired outside attorneys to look into whether they followed proper procurement practices, and state investigators are looking into the matter as well.
