The hiring of a new athletic director/vice principal at Maricopa High School took an unexpected turn Wednesday night.
Christopher Driving Hawk’s hiring was on the consent agenda at the meeting of the Maricopa Unified School District Governing Board, with approval thought to be a formality.
But president Ben Owens pulled the matter off the consent agenda for discussion and then introduced a motion to withhold approval.
“I wanted to pull this off because I know this was a very contentious item and we did receive several emails about this,” Owens said. “I don’t want this to come across to our administration as ‘I don’t trust you’ but I can’t support this position.”
