Good morning, Chandler.

At BASIS Chandler, rising junior Aavishka Pattem juggles competitive archery and producing The Mindbloom Podcast, which she launched to help teens navigate personal challenges (she recently received praise from a student).

She placed top among Americans at an indoor World Cup in France and now aims for Olympic competition.

Aftershock will launch the new HEX bass music festival at Rawhide Festival Grounds in Chandler on Oct.

30-31 — the event will feature top artists like Subtronics, Excision, and INZO.

Fullscript leased 171,862 sqft at Chandler Airpark 202 and will relocate employees from Phoenix to its new facility + adding high-quality jobs in the area.

The deal reflects Chandler’s growing demand for Class A industrial space and a robust business environment, officials said.

Chandler Unified’s Governing Board approved a slimmer $393.9 million budget for the 2026-27 school year at its June 24 meeting.

The board reached the decision before the state’s June 30 deadline following a detailed presentation by CFO (Lana Berry).

Chandler Fire Department will launch its own ambulance service in 2027 when seven ambulances are set to go into service on Jan.

14 and four additional units will be on reserve, with each vehicle staffed entirely by local firefighters for consistent emergency care.
