Heads up! We have scanned the upcoming agenda for Salt River Pima-Maricopa Community Schools (4320). We found 3 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
Board to Appoint New Members with No Public Disclosure
Following a secret meeting with candidates, the board plans to immediately vote on recommending three new members for appointment under Items 3.A, 3.B, and 3.C. The agenda leaves the names blank, meaning the public will not know who the candidates are until the moment of the vote, denying any opportunity for community feedback.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND A DELAY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link for contact info) and demand the board table Items 3.A, 3.B, and 3.C. ‘Postpone the vote on new board members until the candidates’ names and qualifications have been made public for at least one week. We will not accept appointments made in secret.’
💰 Impact: No-Input Appointments

Board to Meet School Board Candidates in Secret Session
Under Item 2.B, the board is holding a ‘Meet and Greet’ with applicants for three open board seats during a closed-door Executive Session. This process shields potential board members from public view, preventing parents from knowing who is being considered to oversee their children’s schools until after a decision is made.
Recommended Action Plan
Object to Item 2.B. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link for contact info) and demand that the ‘Meet and Greet’ for new board members be held in a public session. ‘Parents have a right to know who is being considered for the Education Board. Stop holding secret interviews for public positions.’
💰 Impact: Board Transparency

Board Policy Calls Public Comment a ‘Privilege,’ Not a Right
The district’s official policy on public comment, stated in the agenda, describes a parent’s opportunity to speak as a ‘privilege not a right.’ This language fundamentally weakens the position of parents, suggesting their input is granted by the board’s permission rather than being an inherent right of taxpayers and citizens.
Recommended Action Plan
During ‘Call to the Public’ (Item 1.C), use your time to challenge this policy language. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link for contact info) and state: ‘The board’s policy must be revised. Referring to public comment as a privilege is unacceptable; it is a right of parents to address the officials governing their children’s schools.’
💰 Impact: Your Right to Speak
