Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Maricopa Unified. We found 6 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
District to Pay $30K for ‘Mental Health’ SEL Program
The district plans to spend $30,843.75 on a contract with ‘7 Mindsets Academy, LLC’ for a ‘mental health’ platform. This is a Social Emotional Learning (SEL) program, funded by a federal Project AWARE grant, which often comes with data-sharing mandates.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘I demand Item 6.A, specifically Voucher 2707’s payment to 7 Mindsets Academy, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. Parents deserve to know what SEL curriculum is being brought into our schools.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $30,843.75 (Federal Strings Attached)

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |

Board to Vote on Adopting Lobbying Group’s Political Agenda
The board will vote to adopt the Arizona School Boards Association’s (ASBA) ‘2026 Political Agenda’ and send a delegate to vote accordingly. This commits our district’s name and resources to political lobbying on state and federal issues, which may oppose parental rights.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND A VOICE: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Before you vote on Item 7.H, the ASBA political agenda must be made public and debated. Do not use our district’s resources for political lobbying without taxpayer consent. Vote NO.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
Item 6.A on the Consent Agenda includes Voucher #2709, a massive $4 million expense. The detailed report listing the vendors and services being paid for was not included in the main agenda text, hiding this spending from easy public view.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘Voucher 2709 Detail Listing.pdf’ attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains payments to controversial vendors or for ideological services.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $4,008,276.65

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
$1.7 Million ELA Textbook Purchase on Consent Agenda
The board is set to approve a massive $1,725,959.64 purchase of new ELA textbooks from McGraw Hill without a separate public discussion. A curriculum adoption of this size must be transparently reviewed by parents to ensure it is free of ideological bias and focused on core academics.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND REVIEW: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Pull the $1.7M McGraw Hill textbook purchase from the Consent Agenda (Item 6.A, Voucher 2673). Parents have a right to review curriculum of this magnitude before it is purchased with our tax dollars.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $1,725,959.64

District to Purchase Student and Visitor Surveillance System
A payment of $23,292.99 is scheduled for ‘Visitor Aware Student Manager’ and related software. This appears to be a surveillance system for tracking students and visitors, raising serious questions about student privacy and data collection.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Regarding the ‘Visitor Aware’ system in Voucher 2707, what specific student data will be collected and who will have access to it? Provide the parental opt-out policy before this vote.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Privacy
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Vague ‘Whole Child’ Field Trips Require Investigation
The board is approving a list of overnight and out-of-state trips under the strategy of ‘Educate the Whole Child,’ a common euphemism for non-academic programming. The actual list of destinations and events was not included in the agenda packet, preventing parental review.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘Potential Overnight_Out-of-State Field Trips 26-27.pdf’ attached to Item 7.D in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains trips to ideological conferences or events.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed
