The Maricopa Unified School District governing board voted 4-1 to approve the adoption of a new K-12 science curriculum at its meeting Wednesday night, replacing the existing, 14-year-old version. Jim Jordan was the lone dissenting vote.
The new curriculum, with a price tag of $1,593,793, will be in place for six years. It is part of an adoption cycle that began with a new math curriculum for the 2017-18 school year followed by English Language Arts in 2018. MUSD added student laptops for the 2020-21 school year, and the final adoption in the cycle will be social studies.

With the end of the school year in sight, the Maricopa Unified School District Wednesday lifted its mandatory quarantine edict for students and staff who have been exposed to a confirmed COVID-19 case.
With just two weeks left in the school year, MUSD superintendent Dr. Tracey Lopeman recommended a shift to optional quarantine so those who may be exposed are not forced to miss school events at the end of the year, including graduation and promotion.

Some Maricopa residents are required to purchase flood insurance even though they live miles from the nearest wash. But their expensive plight moved closer to ending at the May 6 Maricopa Flood Control District meeting.
The district approved a plan allowing the City of Maricopa – if it approves the project – to raise the land at the corner of Bowlin Road and State Route 347 about 18 inches with compacted fill dirt.
