Right here in Gilbert, Arizona, are two excellent websites and blogs that are dedicated to both the Gilbert and Higley School Districts. Both sites offer newsletters. Please sign up for the most current, well researched information.
Gilbert/Higley Public Schools News and Information: What the Main-Stream Media Doesn’t Report.
This site focuses specifically on Gilbert and Higley Public Schools. "While you’ll see some articles from the Arizona Republic, East Valley TEA Party – Education Action Committee blog site, Gilbert Watch, and so forth, this site is dedicated to keeping Gilbert, AZ citizens informed on the issues that affect the district schools. Some references will be made to charter schools. Some things will focus on state-wide issues… but for the most part, we hope to keep our focus on what matters most in Gilbert (and Higley) District Schools." It is published by former Gilbert Public Schools governing board member Shane Stapley and provides much valuable insight. Be sure to watch for articles contributed by the anonymous writer GPSINFORMER.
