Overview
- Video of the May 26 board meeting shows Kimberly Fisher raising her right arm and saying “Heil” during a heated exchange over scheduling a community work session on district boundaries.
- The Deer Valley Unified School District publicly condemned gestures and language tied to hate and said Fisher's actions do not reflect the district.
- Board President Paul Carver said he moved to adjourn because the discussion was straying from the posted agenda and warned the salute and comment were unacceptable and unprofessional.
- Hours after the meeting Fisher defended her remarks in a Facebook livestream while later issuing a social media apology that said she was sorry to anyone offended but blamed the board president's leadership style.
- The Deer Valley Educators Association organized a resignation rally and called for her ouster, but sources note Arizona law restricts school boards from disciplining elected members so a recall or political pressure are the likeliest next steps and could shape community trust in the district.
