Here's your local news at a glance for Sunday, the 2nd of November.
Good morning, Chandler.
🎓 Education
At an Oct. 22 board meeting, the Chandler Unified Board chose a no-cost Google survey over a $4,000 HYA option for its superintendent search — the district noted that extra translations for 64 languages would have cost nearly $38,100.
Public engagement will continue through Nov. 7 — candidate interviews are set for January as the district plans for a new leader after current superintendent Frank Narducci’s departure on June 30.
🏥 Health
Oakwood Creative Care celebrated the opening of its new Chandler campus at 2175 N.
Alma School Road in late October with a ceremony featuring Mayor Kevin Hartke and local officials. The facility focuses on memory, brain health, and caregiving with programs like an art-based day club, community center, and wellness clinic — it was funded by Arizona Complete Health and the Centene Foundation.
🏈 Sports
Chandler's '8 Second Saturdays' rodeo series will resume on Nov.
8 at Buck-N Rodeo Grounds' Rawhide Event Center+ featuring bull riding, steer riding, calf riding and mutton busting with live country music and family activities until 9 p.m., with events scheduled monthly through May.
