Former principal runs for PUSD board BY TOM SCANLON

Bill Sorensen was living his dream: He was the passionate principal of a school he loved—and looked forward to being its leader when his twin daughters were old enough for high school. Then, he felt the rug was pulled out from under him, leading him to say two words he hates: “I quit.” Yet a few months later, he is launching a curious comeback, with an effort to be voted into leadership of a district he feels wronged him. While it is closely monitoring COVID-19 data, Peoria Unified School District plans to reopen classrooms by Sept. 28. When Centennial High School students
walk into school for the first time this fall, they will not be greeted by the principal they had in January. Scott Hollabaugh is the new Centennial principal. Sorensen, who was placed on administrative leave Jan. 30, resigned Feb. 11 with a four-sentence letter. Though curt, it also displayed the emotion for which he was known. “I write this letter to inform you I am resigning my position as principal of Centennial High School effective June 30, 2020,” Sorensen wrote. “I am so grateful to the Centennial community and will forever cherish the love they showed me.” He said he needs to “prioritize for my

Smitty’s at 8455 W. Grand Avenue is a former modest shopping center that has been vacant for two decades. Neighbors have complained about the “eyesore” of its blighted condition for almost as long. Smitty’s is finally coming down. At a Peoria Planning Commission virtual meeting Aug. 20, Peoria Planning and Community Development Director Chris Jacques said the demolition of the former Smitty’s on Grand Avenue is in process.
An upgrade is in the works, as Peoria has received a proposal for a residential project for the property, he said. “We have received a zoning case for that property and proposed multifamily commercial execution there called Grand Commons,” Jacques said. Jacques said Peoria was “repositioning” commercial properties that were not realizing their full development potential. Other developments, including the Peoria Crossings project at Northern and 91st avenues and the Camino El Lago at Lake Pleasant Parkway and Deer Valley
Road, will be on upcoming agendas, according to Jacques. “We’ve repositioned some of these centers to be mixed use,” Jacques said. “They can create a little more activity.” Peoria Planning Manager Lorie Dever presented the planning department work plan for the remaining year. “We had a number of different (projects) we were looking to bring into the city,” she added. The commission unanimously approved a request by Deer Valley Animal Clinic to obtain a conditional use permit SEE SMITTY’S PAGE 6

children in the short and long term.” What exactly did he mean by that? “My lawyer told me, ‘You don’t have many protections,’” Sorensen told the Peoria Times. “I loved Centennial, and I wanted to stay there. But I have two children I have to feed.” Instead of risking being fired or not having his contract renewed, he decided to resign and “increase my chances of finding another job.” Indeed, Sorensen quickly found employment and is the assistant principal of La Joya Community High School in the Tolleson Union High School District. “I love it there,” he said. But he is ready to make a comeback— of sorts. Sorensen, who lives in Peoria, is running for a Peoria Unified School District governing board seat. “I think we can do better as a district,” he said. ‘Unprofessional conduct’ A lingering question remains: Why
was Sorensen suspended from his duties—and what did the district investigate? “Effective Jan. 30, 2020, the Peoria Unified School District is placing you on Paid Administrative Leave,” a letter from Carter Davidson, the district’s chief personnel officer, advised Sorensen. “The purpose of this leave is to allow the district to investigate concerns regarding your possible unprofessional conduct while serving as principal of Centennial High School.” Sorensen said he has yet to be told the specifics of the allegation. He is fairly certain his suspension has to do with a video he posted online. “We were going to do a lockdown (drill) at lunch, and I sent out a YouTube video about that to the community,” he said. After his suspension, “I met with HR (human resources) twice. The first time, they said it wasn’t related. The second time, they said it was related,” Sorensen said. “They were looking for something.” He said he was told, “You’ve given

spokeswoman and the PUSD compliance officer. After several more email exchanges, PUSD provided Sorensen’s personnel file—but no other information. On Sept. 5, the Times emailed Airey, asking for the reason for Sorensen being placed on administrative leave. A response was not received by press time. Hints of trouble A performance evaluation Sorensen received six months before he was placed on administrative leave hinted at trouble. The July 16, 2019, review by Christine Lopezlira, executive director of secondary education, began quite positively: “Mr. Sorensen in his first year has focused on his idea of post secondary success and continues to refine the idea into a mission/vision and setting goals that measure student achievement in learning. His strength this year was involving the community is one initiative towards healthy students: Tech Balance. Bill reached out to the community to hold a forum of learning from the community and to involve them in the initiative. “One thing the community knows about Mr. Sorensen is he believes in healthy students with tech balance lives so they can be post secondary successful. Continue to learn the needs and values of the community as you support teaching and learning for increasing student achievement.” Then, the reviewer identified “an area for refinement” in leadership: “A principal needs to establish and maintain strong positive relationships with internal as well as external stakeholders. The area for refinement would be with the stakeholders at the district office and colleagues (administration). Principals are uncomfortable and find the complaining to the superintendent during a meeting disrespectful, counterproductive, a negative vibe not characteristic of our meetings.” “... Other district employees have made comments about Mr. Sorensen not being welcoming or involved in tasks such as facilities or safety.” Even so, the review ended optimistically: “Mr. Sorensen is bound to have a good second year with the first year un-

der him and by focusing on next steps.” Sorensen said the message was clear: “You should not disagree with the district. “I do not have much of a poker face,” he said. “When things occur, I can continue to ask questions and try to push us in a direction where I think things should go.” School board run Sorensen said he left PUSD a humiliated man. “The concept of me being put on leave after 17 years of an impeccable record was the lowest moment of my life,” he said. The worst, he said, was the cloud of uncertainty he felt hanging over him. “I’ve been taught people get put on leave for two things: illicit relationships and money,” he said. Even so, he said his run for the governing board is not about revenge. He was one of nine candidates to get the signatures required to make the November ballot—with only three school board seats up for grabs. “I would not run for the school board if I wasn’t trying to add value to the dis-
3
trict,” he said. “I’m not angry at the district. I think our leadership can help us go in the direction the community deserves. “My emphasis is on love and empathy.” And, he said, he wants to show his children an illustration of resiliency. “It was a great example to my kids: They see their father get knocked down and fail, then watch me choose my attitude and go on in a positive light.” After starting his career in the Deer Valley Unified School District, Sorensen was a teacher and assistant principal at PUSD’s Cactus High School. Landing the top spot at Centennial High in 2018 was a top rung in his mental ladder. “My plan was to be the principal where my kids went when they were old enough for high school. This was it for me,” he said. Things don’t look like they will work out that way—teaching this longtime educator a hard, strong lesson: “It’s a great story where what you think is going to give you fulfillment is taken away—and you have to find a new way to serve.”

Officials take steps to head off flu as state continues COVID-19 fight Cronkite News
State officials recently laid out a plan for “aggressively” combating the upcoming influenza season as the COVID-19 pandemic lingers, with the first step being to urge people to get a flu shot as soon as possible. The state plans to increase funding for Medicaid recipients to get flu shots, combine flu-shot sites with coronavirus testing facilities, and more, while also advocating many of the same measures meant to head off the spread of COVID-19. Gov. Doug Ducey, who announced the plan with health department director Dr. Cara Christ, said state officials have always taken flu season seriously but that “the overlap with COVID-19 this year presents greater challenges than the typical flu season.” He warned that a bad flu season
on top of the COVID-19 pandemic presents “a perfect storm” of potential health problems. Officials warned that flu seasons in years past have inundated hospitals, similar to the peak of the COVID-19 cases the state saw this summer, but that flu vaccines remain a surefire way to keep those hospitalizations low. “With this upcoming flu season, and with COVID-19 still circulating in our communities, there’s a potential that our health care system could become overwhelmed,” Christ said. Last year, she said, the state saw more than 36,000 flu cases. She said the same recommendations health officials make for COVID-19— washing your hands, wearing a mask, physical distancing, and staying home when you feel sick—apply for those looking to prevent the spread of the seasonal flu. The difference is there is a vaccine for the flu that state residents can get right
away. Toward that end, the state will increase reimbursement under the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System—AHCCCS, the state’s Medicaid program—to providers who offer flu shots to Medicaid recipients. It will also allow some pharmacists to administer the vaccine and will expand the availability of flu shots to various COVID testing sites around the state by late September, Ducey said. While the state was laying out its plans to battle the flu, Christ also pointed to advances in the fight against COVID-19. She said nine of the state’s 15 counties have met the threshold for some businesses to start reopening on a limited basis and that more than 1,200 businesses have applied to do so. Those businesses must certify that they have a plan in place to safely reopen and agree to abide by state-mandated standards, including
reduced occupancy, wearing masks unless eating or drinking, and enforcing physical distancing of at least 6 feet. Businesses that don’t live by the rules will be shut down, she said, pointing to three bars in Maricopa County that were shut down over one weekend as a result of law enforcement investigations and a health department tip line for reporting violators. Actions against bars that violate reopening standards could include the revocation of their liquor license, she said. Christ also said her department continues to work closely with the Department of Education on a roadmap for reopening in-person schooling throughout the state. Christ also announced a partnership with Hanes, the clothing manufacturer, that will let students get up to five face masks for themselves and their families through the health department.

Serious injuries, DUI arrest after wreck near Lake Pleasant BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF Six people were hospitalized after a head-on wreck the evening before Labor Day near Lake Pleasant. According to the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office, an accident was reported at 6:45 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 6. A Hummer SUV allegedly smashed head-on into a minivan near Desert Tortoise and Bajada Loop in Lake Pleasant Regional Park. The Peoria Fire-Medical Department responded to the scene. There were two adults and three children in the Hummer. The driver, Miguel Espin, attempted to flee the scene following the accident and was found a quarter-mile from the wreck, according to the MSCO. A female passenger was flown to John C. Lincoln Deer Valley Hospital and “was later determined to be paralyzed in her lower extremities,” according to the MCSO. Three children from the Hummer and two passengers in the minivan were also
taken to the hospital. Espin, 24, was arrested for aggravated assault, driving under the influence and leaving the scene of an injury accident.

County program provides nearly $1 million in rental assistance in first month BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF Maricopa County’s new program to help people who are struggling to pay rent helped with nearly $1 million during its first month of operation. Since the County COVID Rental Assistance (CCRA) program launched July 15, more than 300 households have received a combined 662 months (or $993,000) of paid rent. “There is an incredible need for rent assistance because of the economic downturn due to COVID-19,” said Board of Supervisors Chairman Clint Hickman, District 4. “That’s why the board unanimously approved $30 million to fund this program using money from the CARES Act. We don’t want one crisis to lead to another.” Maricopa County Board of Supervisors approved funding for the new program June 8. The CCRA service and accompanying automated system were developed; agreements with Community Action Programs (CAPs) were established; staff was
recruited, hired and trained (ongoing); and CCRA launched July 15. “Every two weeks my department will post the number of started and completed applications so everyone has a complete picture of our progress,” said Bruce Liggett, director of Maricopa County Human Services Department, which is administering the program. “We are helping people through the application process so the money gets to those who truly need it.” For information on program guidelines and referrals, visit maricopa.gov/ covidrenthelp. The county provided the following update on the program: • Prescreen applications submitted—2,388. • Prescreen applications awaiting documents—809. • Deemed ineligible—757. • Complete applications with documents—822. • Complete applications awaiting disposition—499. • Households approved and assistance provided—323.
• Months approved and assistance provided—662. There are three ways renters can apply for County COVID Rental Assistance: • Apply on maricopa. gov/covidrenthelp. • Apply at one of 13 Community Action sites (listed at maricopa.gov/covidrenthelp.). • Applicants for the Arizona Department of Housing Rental Assistance program will also be considered. According to the Maricopa County has provided nearly $1 million for rental assistance, county, applications with more to come. (Photo courtesy Maricopa County) are being processed on a first-come, firstserved basis. The program allows for uted through mid-December 2020 or retroactive payments beginning in when rental assistance funds have been March 2020, and funds will be distrib- fully expended.

How MTM and other TV standbys might play today BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ
Peoria Times View Columnist
When I was a kid, we subscribed to TV Guide. The best issue always came at the end of summer, because it previewed the upcoming fall television season. I loved knowing reruns were finally ending and being teased about new seasons of “Happy Days,” “S.W.A.T.” and “Welcome Back, Kotter.” Sure, it meant going back to school and again suffering an early bedtime, but what a small price to pay if it meant Fonzie might stage a record motorcycle jump over 14 garbage cans, or Jimmie Walker, playing J.J. on “Good Times,” might have new reasons to shout “Dy-No-Mite!” Simpler times, huh? I haven’t seen a print edition of TV Guide in 20 years, but it’s easy to imagine
Hollywood rebooting our favorite shows for 2020 and all the great storylines we’d have in store after Labor Day weekend. What’s on the horizon? “Laverne & Shirley” (ABC): When the girls get laid off from the Shotz Brewery assembly line because of the COVID-19 pandemic, they take shifts at the Pizza Bowl, where a customer assaults Laverne for not wearing a face mask. Sounds like a laugh a minute. “The Streets of San Francisco” (ABC): Chasing after a serial killer in the Tenderloin District, Lt. Stone stumbles in a pile of human excrement and ruptures his Achilles. His ensuing opioid addiction ends his career as a homicide investigator. Karl Malden at his very best. I’d watch. “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” (CBS): The WJM newsroom must choose sides when an
intern files a #MeToo sexual harassment complaint against anchorman Ted Baxter. Things get uglier in real life when actor Ted Knight—who plays Baxter—retweets a Harvey Weinstein meme and draws the attention of President Trump. What’s the opposite of far-fetched? Close-fetched? Either way, I’d say there’s a great chance this could happen. “Little House On The Prairie” (NBC): When Minnesota legalizes recreational marijuana, Charles and Caroline Ingalls argue about the merits of planting wheat or getting rich growing weed. Laura joins PETA to protest the leather goods being stocked at the Oleson’s country store. “The Six Million Dollar Man” (ABC): While his bionic right arm, legs and zoom-vision left eye thrive, Col. Steve
Austin’s regular body parts start to suffer. His physical issues lead Steve to the Mexican border, where he gets cheap dental work, a prescription for blood-pressure meds and explores surgery for bionic, uh, manhood. The more I think about it, the more I understand why Hollywood TV producers have gone away from comedy and drama to crap like “The Masked Singer” and “Celebrity Family Feud.” There’s not much funny about 2020 right now. And we’re exponentially too sensitive to handle real life. It’s like the whole year has been one long “very special episode”—minus the laughs and all the teary hugs at the end.

TheaterWorks returns, curiously BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF
The youth-oriented TheaterWorks is back—though in a manner befiting these curious times. Opening Thursday, Sept. 10, “Curiouser & Curiouser” is described by the Peoria theater as “an immersive, multi-sensory, intimate theater production where audience members literally walk into and through the world of ‘Alice in Wonderland.’” Every theater, rehearsal space and hallway in the spacious Peoria Center for the Performing Arts has been transformed into Wonderland. “Up to 10 audience members per performance will experience Wonderland as Alice would, flowing through the
rooms to discover scenes, encounter inhabitants and immerse themselves in a new way to experience theater through the story of ‘Alice in Wonderland,’” the theater promised. Shows are 100 minutes, utilizing visual art, music, puppetry, dance, theater and multimedia design. Multiple performances take place Thursdays through Sundays through Oct. 18. Advance ticket purchases are required. The theater has been closed for months, due to COVID-19 restrictions. “This pause in normal programming has forced our organization to pivot and innovate. We took this opportunity to try something revolutionary and different,”

In a recent study, people were asked what institutions they trusted the most. Who do you think was rated the highest? The military was ranked highest at 72%. Much of this rating came from the fact that the military completes what it starts and does what it says it will do in more cases than not. What makes the military so effective?

How does the military finish what it starts? Can what the military does benefit you in your everyday life? While no institution is perfect (if you have been in the military, you know that), one of the main reasons people trust in the military is that military culture carefully plans what it wants to do before it does it. The military thinks strategically in both the short term and long term. They know how to move from dream to done, from rhetoric to reality, from idea to product, from future to present. Many people hope something will happen. Hope is not a strategy. Today, let’s glean from the military the concept of strategy and planning to achieve an objective. Grady Daniels, a retired military man I know, wrote a short description of objectives and strategies that he calls “Military 101.” Military 101 is common knowledge to most military people. And it’s both efficient and effective. Please pay attention. We could all benefit from what Grady has written here: “Objective (At the highest levels, this is sometimes called Grand Strategy): What you ultimately want. A strategy is an art of picking the big-picture way of obtaining your objective. Operational art is choosing and organizing your campaigns to make

up your wife, don’t forget to stop when the police car in front of you stops, too. “All things considered, in the end, if you worked your plan right: Voilá! A happy wife! There may be intermediate objectives, concurrent campaigns, supporting operations, and such throughout the plan, but you get the idea. Get a strategy!” What do you think about Grady’s example? I know it is left-brain logical stuff. But wouldn’t you agree that a bit of planning and the smooth operation of all the parts of the objective enhanced the romantic experience (right-brain stuff) of the anniversary dinner? There were no distractions, because you planned the main actions. Military 101 takes a bit of work. But remember: no deposit, no return. As I have said, a plan of attack is much better than a panic attack. As a Japanese proverb says: “When you’re dying of thirst, it’s too late to think about digging a well.” To learn more about Pastor Ed Delph, the Church-Community Connection and Nation strategy, call 623-376-6757, e-mail nationstrategy@cs.com or visit nationstrategy.com.

sense and work together towards the objective and in support of your strategy. A campaign is a series of battles aimed at a specific part of the objective. Tactics is the art of winning a battle. A battle is simply the fight you are engaged in presently. “Now, there is nothing esoteric or arcane about any of this. Here’s a real-life example for you about how all of these can work together to achieve what we want to do or where we desire to go. Let’s say your objective is to make your wife happy on your anniversary. That’s your goal. That’s where you’re going. “So, in military terms, here’s how these components work together for the desired end. Objective: Happy wife. Strategy: Show your wife a wonderful time on your anniversary. Operational Art: Find a good jeweler for that lovely tennis bracelet you know she wants. Find a quality florist in your neighborhood. Remember the name of that posh restaurant your wife has always wanted to go to? Find it.

PUSD return-to-school plan to begin Sept. 21 BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF On Friday, Sept. 4, Dr. Jason W. Reynolds, the new superintendent of the Peoria Unified School District, sent an update to families of 37,000 students in Peoria and Glendale. The updated plan is to have the youngest students return to classrooms Sept. 21, followed by all students returning to schools five days per week Sept. 28. “We are pleased that the most recent benchmarks from Maricopa County show our district’s data continues to trend in the right direction. According to the most recent update, we are excited to share that we have a target to move directly into Stage 4 of our Re-
turn to School Plan,” Reynolds said. He said PUSD is “targeting” Monday, Sept. 21, for kindergarten through second-graders (“our youngest, most vulnerable students”) to return to classrooms. “If the positive trend in our data continues, we will invite the remainder of our students to return on Sept. 28,” he said. PUSD spent one month in Stage 1 of its Return to School plan, which includes remote learning and “offering resources for students in our self-contained classes and on-site support for students who need a safe place to conduct their online learning,” Reynolds noted. “Stage 2 includes opening our Peoria Unified School District plans to open classes for its youngest students Sept. 21, followed by all classes opening Sept. 28.

schools to students with the most critical needs beginning on Tuesday, Sept. 8. We look forward to welcoming preschool, students attending the Peoria Flex Academy, and high school students participating in Fire Science, Medical Assisting and Nursing CTE labs,” Reynolds wrote. “If benchmarks continue to trend in a positive direction,” Reynolds said, the district will skip over Stage 3 and “move directly into Stage 4 so that
students can return full-time, five days a week, rather than move into Stage 3’s hybrid format.” PUSD will enter the final stage “If the public health benchmarks continue to be met for all three categories for two consecutive weeks with percent of positive COVID-19 cases remaining below 5%.” Reynolds said the district was trying

If you selected the virtual instruction model and would like to change to classroom instruction or if you had planned to return to the classroom and would now like to continue virtually, please contact your school to submit a request to change form by Friday, Sept. 11. You will be notified by your school site the week of Sept. 14-18 on next steps in this process,” he wrote. “As the safety of our students and staff is our top priority, Peoria Unified
will continue to monitor the data provided by ADHS and how that affects the benchmarks for our community. We will also continue to consult with our Medical Advisory Team for guidance on this phased-in approach. If at any time we feel the safety of our students and staff are in jeopardy and we need to change our instructional status, we will communicate with you,” Reynolds told families.

Are you ready for some football? AIA gives OK to start fall sports BY BRANDON JONES Cronkite News
High school football is back. The executive board of the Arizona Interscholastic Association voted last week to endorse the latest guidelines proposed by the Sports Medicine Advisory Committee for the safe implementation of a return to sport and activity. Football, as well as other fall sports, will continue as scheduled. Football can begin practice this and games can start Sept. 30. The concern about coronavirus was a reality for Centennial High School football coach Richard Taylor. “At the younger levels, we’ve had some kids that decided not to play this year,” Taylor said. “About two or three. At the varsity level, we had some other players that initially when we were allowed to go, they stayed (home) and didn’t come to practices. I think they wanted to see how things were going to be run and that we were going to follow all of the procedures and protocols. I think that once they felt comfortable with that, they showed up.” The novel coronavirus pandemic has put the sports community in disarray. Professional leagues have had to adjust their schedules and move competition to a “bubble,” where contact is limited
to team personnel. The Pac-12 Conference, which include Arizona State and Arizona, has opted not to play this fall. Fan attendance at high school games will be a local decision, the AIA said. School administrators will determine who will be allowed to attend games based on information from the Arizona Department of Health Services and other sources. The AIA has shared recent rules modifications for golf, including mobile scoring, no handshakes, players and spectators leaving the course immediately, no raking of bunkers, no touching of the flagstick, and adjustments to warmups and size restrictions of invitational tournaments. Rick Garretson, coach of powerhouse Chandler High School, was focused on his players’ mental health and how important playing football is to them this season. “Nobody knows kids better than their parents and coaches,” Garretson said before the announcement that the season would continue. “We’re around them sometimes more than their parents are. We’re keeping them mentally fresh, and we’re making sure we’re not burning them out before the season starts. I like where our team is mentally, I like where our team is physically, and hopefully we get the green light.”
