🎭 Culture
Chandler writer Michele Lee Sefton released her debut novel 'Jade’s Broken Bridge' on Oct 10 through her Tumbleweed Spirit Press on Amazon.
The coming-of-age story set in late 1980s Arizona and Alaska is based on true events and has drawn praise for its honest look at survival—reviewers called it a powerful debut.
🎓 Education
On Oct. 8, Assistant Superintendent Mike De La Torre presented Chandler Unified student safety data to the board—data showing fewer discipline incidents amid a loss of about 4,000 mostly younger students.
One board member questioned if the lower totals were simply a result of the enrollment drop.
