The Board is scheduled to approve a consent agenda item (11.U) authorizing an agreement with Phoenix Children’s Hospital to operate mobile health clinics on district campuses. These clinics will provide students with services including ‘routine care, sports physicals, and immunizations,’ which could violate fundamental parental rights if administered to minors without express, specific, and informed parental consent for each instance of care.

Intake Action
PULL THE DOCUMENT: Retrieve the referenced attachment ‘ACA – Employee Harassment_Non-discrimination (Clean.9.16.26).pdf’ for item 13.B from the official agenda link before the vote.
