Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Marana Unified District (4404). We found 8 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
District Approving Student Data Sharing with Outside Consultant
The board is voting on a ‘Research Data Sharing Agreement’ with a private company, Ambroso Research and Evaluation Consulting, Inc. This could give an outside group access to sensitive student data without direct parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and demand Item J.6 be tabled. Ask the board: ‘What specific student data is being shared with Ambroso Research, for what purpose, and where is the parental consent form for this specific data release?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Privacy
|
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Accepting Grants with Potential Ideological Strings
The board is set to accept multiple unspecified grants in a single vote on the Consent Agenda. Federal grants often come with mandates for specific DEI/SEL curricula or invasive student data collection.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and demand Item H.15 be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate vote. Ask the board: ‘What are the specific sources and terms for each grant being accepted? Are we committing to any new curriculum or data reporting requirements?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed (Federal Strings Attached)
|
| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Appointing Delegate to Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying Group
The board is appointing a delegate to the Arizona School Boards Association (ASBA). The ASBA often lobbies the state legislature against parental rights bills, using our district’s public funds and official standing to do so.
Recommended Action Plan
PUT THEM ON RECORD: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask: ‘Will our ASBA delegate be instructed to vote in favor of parental rights and transparency, or will they follow the ASBA’s typical anti-parent agenda? We demand our delegate represent the parents of this district.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying
|
| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
New ‘Curriculum as a Service’ Vendor Agreement
The district is approving a ‘Curriculum as a Service Agreement’ with a company called TechSmart. This new model of curriculum delivery can be difficult for parents to review and may include hidden data collection or SEL components.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘H17 TechSmartSchedule5’ attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm the curriculum content and data privacy terms. Email the board: ‘Parents must be able to review all curriculum. How can we review the full TechSmart curriculum before this vote?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Curriculum Content
|
| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Vague Agreement with AZ Department of Education
The board is voting on an unspecified ‘Intergovernmental Agreement’ with the Arizona Department of Education. These agreements can be used to implement statewide mandates that undermine local control and parental oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘J7 ADEIGA’ attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to determine the purpose of this agreement. This vague title requires public explanation before a vote.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Loss of Local Control
|
| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Approval of New High School Clubs Hidden in Consent Agenda
The board is approving new, unnamed clubs for Marana High School and Mountain View High School without discussion. This is a common method for approving controversial, activist student groups like Gender and Sexuality Alliances (GSAs) without parental awareness.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open files ‘H8 MHSClub’ and ‘H9 MVHSClubs’ in the Official Agenda (linked above). Demand the board publicly list every new club being approved by name before the vote.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Student Groups
|
| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Collaboration Agreement with Helios Education Foundation
The district is entering an agreement with the ASU Helios Education Foundation. While focused on education, large foundations like this often promote ‘equity’ and ‘social justice’ initiatives that can shift focus away from core academics.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘H18 ASUHeliosAgreement’ in the Official Agenda (linked above). Ask the board: ‘What are the specific goals and requirements of this collaboration with the Helios Foundation? Will it impact curriculum or teacher training?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Potential for Ideological Influence
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
New Elementary Textbook Adoption on Consent Agenda
The board is approving new elementary textbooks, listed only as ‘Music Textbooks,’ without a public presentation. All new curriculum materials, regardless of subject, must be vetted by parents for embedded ideological content like SEL or DEI concepts.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘H14 MusicTextbooks’ in the Official Agenda (linked above). Email the board: ‘Please provide a public link for parents to review the proposed music textbooks before they are approved.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Unvetted Classroom Materials
