Good morning, Chandler.

The Chandler Cultural Foundation announced new board members Eric Piepenbrink and Kim McCarthy after their appointment by Mayor Kevin Hartke—Piepenbrink, a vice president at the University of Arizona Global Campus, and McCarthy, a contract manager at United Behavioral Health-Optum, bring deep local ties and expertise to support the arts.

Chandler Unified School District’s search for its next superintendent was held mostly behind closed doors—prompting community members to call for more public input during the Oct.

8 board meeting. Board President Patti Serrano said the board met with the contracted search firm and planned to update the public with key milestones in later meetings.

As cleanup continues from recent storms, mosquitoes have surged across the Valley—triggered by heavy rains—and residents are advised to take precautions.
