| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |

Final Vote on Dozens of Hidden Policy Changes
The board is set for a final vote on a massive bundle of policy updates from the Arizona School Boards Association (ASBA). Critical policies affecting staff conduct with students, staff ethics, and disciplinary procedures are buried in this bundle, preventing public debate on each one.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Governing Board (see the Official Agenda link for contacts): ‘I demand that each policy in Item 6.D be discussed and voted on separately, not as a bundle. Parents deserve to hear the debate on policies like ‘Staff Conduct with Students’ before you pass them.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Board Oversight

District Implements Student Data-Mining Platform
The district is using a platform called ‘Navvy’ to conduct fine-grained surveillance of student academic performance, including breaking down data by subgroups. This creates a permanent data trail on your child and opens the door to tracking non-academic metrics under the guise of ‘supporting student learning.’
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the Governing Board (see the Official Agenda link for contacts): ‘Regarding the ‘Navvy’ platform in Item 5.B, who owns my child’s data? Please provide the specific parental opt-out form for this data collection system before the district expands its use.’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

First Look at Massive Batch of New Policies
The board is introducing dozens of new policies from the Arizona School Boards Association (ASBA) in a single, overwhelming batch. This ‘First Read’ is the only chance for parents to see what’s coming regarding staff hiring, assignments, and conduct before it’s fast-tracked for a final vote.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the files attached to Item 5.D in the Official Agenda (linked above). We must review these proposed policies now and email the board with concerns before they move to a final vote next month.
💰 Impact: Overwhelming Public Scrutiny

New Stipends for ‘Grant-Funded’ Duties Hidden on Consent
Buried in the consent agenda, Item 7.S creates new payment categories for staff who perform ‘Grant-Funded Extra Duty.’ This is a common way to use outside money with ideological strings attached to pay teachers for pushing specific agendas, all without a public discussion.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Governing Board (see the Official Agenda link for contacts): ‘Pull Item 7.S from the Consent Agenda. The public deserves to know exactly which grants are funding this extra duty pay and what the specific duties are before you approve it.’
💰 Impact: Ideological Strings Attached

| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
District Partners with ‘Make Way for Books’
The board plans to approve a partnership with an outside group, ‘Make Way for Books,’ without discussion on the consent agenda. This brings an external organization’s materials and influence into the classroom, potentially bypassing parental review of ideological content in books.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Email the Governing Board (see the Official Agenda link for contacts): ‘Pull Item 7.U from the Consent Agenda. Who is ‘Make Way for Books,’ and have parents been allowed to review all materials they will provide to our students?’
💰 Impact: Unvetted Classroom Content

| ALERT (LEVEL 3) |
|
Public Hearing on Bond and Override Spending
The district is holding a required public hearing on how it has spent bond and override money. This is a critical opportunity for parents to show up and ask direct questions about whether taxpayer dollars are funding core academics or being diverted to administrative bloat and ideological programs.
Recommended Action Plan
SHOW UP & SPEAK UP: Attend the public hearing for Item 6.A. Ask the board to provide a line-item breakdown of spending and justify any expenses that do not directly contribute to student academic achievement.
💰 Impact: Taxpayer Dollars

| ALERT (LEVEL 2) |
|
District Pushes ‘Kid at Hope’ Pledge
The board is promoting the ‘Kid at Hope Treasure Hunter Pledge,’ which uses therapeutic and emotionally-charged language. While it sounds positive, this is part of the ‘Whole Child’ movement that often serves as a gateway for Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and shifts the school’s focus from academics to emotional engineering.
Recommended Action Plan
MONITOR: This is currently just language, but be aware. Track how ‘Kid at Hope’ is used in the future and watch for it to be tied to curriculum, surveys, or interventions.
💰 Impact: Focus Shift from Academics
