The Chandler Unified School District Governing Board is pleased to announce the finalists for the next Superintendent of CUSD:
- Dr. Anna Battle
- Ms. Lana Berry
- Dr. Ibi Davila Haghighat
We invite you to learn more about each finalist by reviewing their biographies on the Chandler Unified School District Superintendent Search webpage.
The Governing Board also invites community members to attend a Community Forum on Wednesday, January 28, held in the Governing Board Room at the CUSD District Office (1525 W. Frye Road). The forum will take place from 6:00 p.m. to 8:25 p.m., and Spanish interpretation services will be available.
During the forum, each finalist will participate individually in a rotating format. Attendees are encouraged to remain for the full duration of the event. Community members will have the opportunity to share feedback with the Governing Board through an online survey. For those unable to attend in person, the forum will be livestreamed on the Governing Board’s YouTube channel, and virtual participants will also be able to submit feedback.
Following the forum, the Governing Board will review finalist qualifications alongside staff and community input during an Executive Session later that evening on January 28 (or January 29, if needed). The Board is expected to select the next Superintendent contingent upon successful contract negotiations and completion of an independent background check.
Additional updates will be shared on the CUSD Superintendent Search Information Page as the timeline is finalized.
