Bonali Barua Kautz hopes to continue touching lives as the newly elected president of the Arizona Association for Home Care (AAHC), a state-wide nonprofit organization for home healthcare providers.

Kautz has been a practicing physical therapist of 26 years and has been director of clinical operations at BAYADA Home Health Care since 2016.

“I would be able to touch more lives through education,” said Kautz. “In home health, clinicians work closely one-on-one. A lot of times we would see good outcomes from the home health care setting ... Just the general happiness you see in (patients) is great.”

Sierra Vista Unified School District Superintendent Dr. Eric Holmes said more than 70% of Buena High School seniors and their parents voted in a survey to have a traditional graduation ceremony.

SVUSD Public Information Officer Valerie Weller said the graduation ceremony will be held at Buena’s Loveless Stadium football field, with one group of students walking on May 26 and the second on May 27 at 7 p.m. both nights. Social distancing and masks will be required throughout the ceremony.

Holmes also gave a COVID-19 update for the board. He reported that Cochise County was in “substantial transmission,” according to the Arizona Department of Health Services COVID-19 benchmarks, which defines an area that has 50-99 new cases per 100,000 individuals as "substantial."

Since Tuesday's board meeting, the ADHS has updated the number of cases and status of transmission in Cochise County. For the week of March 28, the department is reporting the county had 41 new cases per 100,000 individuals, a "moderate spread."
