Over the past couple of years FUSD has been part of a Class Action lawsuit with several vaping companies. In fact, many school districts across the country are part of the lawsuit. All three FUSD high schools will be receiving funds to pay for and promote Student Well Being on campus. As part of a School Board initiative, we are looking for student voices to determine how the money is spent. The FUSD School Board would like to see students participate in the program called School Participatory Budgeting (SPB).

Education Spotlight — NAU Student Engineers Soar with Boeing Drone Project. See more local, state and national education news here
When Cassie Petit, development director at Northern Arizona University’s College of Engineering, Informatics and Applied Sciences (CEIAS), reached out to Boeing about being involved in a student capstone project, she wasn’t sure how the giant aviation manufacturer would respond.
Fortunately, her Boeing contact was Senior Engineering Manager Amanda Nemec, an NAU mechanical engineering alumna, who now sits on the CEIAS advisory council.
After a discussion with Nemec, other Boeing staff and NAU faculty members, the project took off. Boeing had been developing a surveillance drone airframe, but the prototype weighed four pounds (just slightly less than a pet Chihuahua). The NAU student team was charged with designing and building a lighter, more maneuverable frame. It needed to be 3D printed and study enough to survive a crash from a height of 10 feet.
