The Department of Public Safety (DPS) Has Partnered with the Governors Office of Highway Safety (GOHS) for a 
Statewide Seatbelt Campaign

Remember to buckl up!
What would your look be if you were caught not buckled in?


“Buckle Up Arizona…It’s the Law” Campaign to Run Statewide from May 20 to June 2



From May 20 to June 2, DPS will be focusing on seatbelt compliance throughout the state. The enforcement campaign,“Buckle Up Arizona...It’s the Law”, is funded through the Governors Office of Highway Safety and is a part of a national campaign. GOHS has provided additional funding for extra highway patrol staffing during the enforcement period and this extra funding is critical to the success of the campaign.

During 2010, there were 497 fatalities on our roadways. In 232 of those, or 47%, seatbelts were not used. By using a seatbelt, the risk of fatal injuries to a front seat occupant can be reduced by 45%. 

During the seatbelt campaign, DPS Officers will be targeting seatbelt violations statewide with the ultimate goal of creating a safer traveling environment on our roadways and saving lives. 

Buckle Up Arizona…It’s the Law

Where Do Lobbtyist Set With You?

 Out of the Game or Under the Radar? 


March 20, 2013 Over the past several years, both spending on lobbying and the number of active lobbyists has declined. A number of factors may be responsible, including the lackluster economy, a gridlocked Congress and changes in lobbying rules.

CRP finds that the biggest players in the influence game -- lobbying clients across nearly all sectors -- increased spending over the last five years. The top 100 lobbying firms income declined only 6 percent between 2007 and 2012 but the number of registered lobbyists dropped by 25 percent.

Wickenburg Unified School Superintendent Writes Message to Community

Wittmann-Morristown Bus Routing Correction Below!

Click to go to Wickenburg Schools website
Click on above image to visit Wickenburg School District Website.

Wickenburg School District serves students and families in Wittmann, Morristown, Peeples Valley (Skyline), Yarnell, Congress (SierraVista) 
Royale (Caballero and Date Creek) Mathie Ranch Coyote Run, 
Vulture Mine Rd and Cherokee. 

The Wickenburg School District is attracting many Wittmann and Morristown students who can attend the school district through Arizona's Open Enrollment. With recent concerns going unanswered at other school district's many are choosing to enroll their children into Wickenburg. 

The Wickenburg School District Superintendent writes more about the district provided without editing as he openly discussed Wickenburg Unified School District:

Wickenburg Unified School District (WUSD) has an excellent reputation for educating its students and is focused on balancing a core curriculum of math, science, language arts, and social studies with enriching areas such as the fine arts, physical education, technology, and Career and Technical Education (CTE).

According to information released by the Arizona Department of Education (ADE) concerning the A-F Grading System for public school districts, WUSD earned a “B” Grade for the second consecutive year, ranking 20th overall in the unified category  with a score of 138 points out of a possible 200. At 138 points, WUSD tied for the 11th highest score among unified school districts and was 20th overall in the unified category (Please note: when more than one school earned a particular score, they would be tied and ranked accordingly, i.e., more than one school earned 138 points, all were ranked 11th).

Individually, we had one “A” and three “B” schools. Our “A” school is Festival Foothills, located on the southern end of the District. We were impressed as they tied for the 15th highest score among all schools in the state (elementary, middle and high school) and are ranked 40th out of 1,268. Hassayampa also ranked very high and is now only two points away from earning an “A”.

WUSD is becoming a lighthouse school district, and our students are the big winners. They will continually grow academically and will be better prepared for continuing their education through our WUSD staff’s tremendous efforts and hard work towards fulfilling our focus statement, specifically moving each student to the next level academically.

Vision - A picture of what we can become
  • Every Child has Hope
  • Every Student is a Graduate
  • Every Graduate has a Dream
Mission- Why we exist

The mission of the Wickenburg Unified School District is to be a proponent of a comprehensive, research-based education program which focuses on effective school factors to meet the needs of our students, staff, families, and the Wickenburg Unified School District Community.

Focus Statement- How we are targeting our efforts

We are creating A+ schools where there is a laser-like focus on the Essential Elements of Instruction (EEI) and moving each student to the next academic level.

Sincerely,

Howard C. Carlson, Ed.D.
Superintendent

The Wickenburg Schools has become a favored alternative to the Nadaburg Unified School District and even runs buses to nearby pickup points near Wittmann.


Wittmann News posted a link to Wickenburg's bus routes for the area which had been posted for last year; the busing director contacted wittmannnews.com and says that the listing posted on the Wickenburg School Website are not provided year round and was misleading.

Wittmann News Reader Salutes Wickenburg School District

Dear Wittmann News,


It looks like the management of Nadaburg has got himself and the district in quite a pickle. Last month the business director took a job with the Glendale Elementary School district, which leaves this district hanging in the wind $154,000 in the hole so far this year.  A few managers who work under the business director were celebrating the departure.  

The Wickenburg district has taken a proactive approach to the calls it receives on a daily basis inquiring about transportation into that district. So far Wickenburg has committed two school buses to transport our children out of this district.  Mr. Goodman's  confrontation with Dr. Carlson was pointless over the transportation matter. In big print on the sides of Nadaburg school buses it says 'OPEN ENROLLMENT' and folks are taking advantage of Wickenburg's open enrollment. Also there seems to be some debate about two IGA's (Intergovernmental Agreements) between Nadaburg and both Wickenburg and Dysart, promising our students will go to their schools. The district already had a standing IGA with Wickenburg to send students there, and then this year the inept board entered into another IGA to send students to Dysart, how ridiculous is that?

In looking on the Nadaburgsd.org website I see under employment opportunities a number of teacher openings. Seems like employees from management on down to rank and file teachers see the inevitable failure of the district. The holes in the ship are way below the waterline.  It is a little late in the year to be posting job positions for highly qualified teachers who are the cream of the crop.  As more teachers move on I expect to see more of these "employment opportunities" at Nadaburg.  

What is with the idiotic red flapping sign strung up on the fence at Nadaburg which reads "Under New Management"?  That's more fitting at cheap hotel not a school. Another bright idea. 

One last idiotic read is the Stupidintendents Message on the Nadaburg website. The title reads: "Meet Our Superintendent" The article mentions nothing at all about the superintendents qualifications, professional skills or personal life.  It doesn't even mention the superintendents name till the salutation the message is nonsensical garbage. 

It looks like the incompetency of the district's board has completely done this district, it's children and taxpayers a complete disservice. There should be some educational requirements or maybe a background in education before a board member can be considered for the role.  Keep an eye on these crooks they're stealing our money and in return we get fluff.

Why "Disclosure Statements" appear on wittmannnews.com...

Due to a regulation that is placed on websites such as wittmannnews.com, the Federal Trade Administration requires a statement reading precise wording be placed prominently throughout a website. Especially where it appears advertising may be providing funds to the website or its owner. To date no payments for advertising have been received by wittmannnews.com or its owner. The ads you see are provided so you are aware of resources that wittmannnews.com have found to provide the most provisions, for the fee's being charged. Other ads appear under an agreement in a "news" trade agreement. By utilizing certain news providers, wittmannnews.com allows them to place advertisements within the news, rather than wittmannnews.com paying a fee for the services.  Local advertising for small businesses located within Wittmann, Circle City and Morristown, from Wickenburg to Surprise; have been offered since the economic crisis which began in 2008, as a means to allow local business owners a platform to announce their services or products, without costs to them. A promotional option local small businesses would otherwise not be able to afford. Donations sent to wittnannnews.com have been donated to the 100 Club of Arizona.
