We reviewed the upcoming agenda for Legacy Traditional School – Phoenix (873957) and identified 1 items with potential legal exposure ahead of the vote.
HIGH VIABILITY (LEVEL 7)
Public Comment Policy Restricts Live and Anonymous Speech
📅 November 12, 2026
The district’s public comment rules for its November 12, 2026 joint meeting require comments to be submitted by email hours in advance, with the speaker’s full name, and allows staff discretion to not read all comments aloud. This practice may constitute an unreasonable time, place, and manner restriction and risks viewpoint discrimination, burdening the public’s First Amendment rights in a designated public forum.
Intake Action

PRESERVE RECORD: The public comment policy, applicable to Item III, is detailed in the meeting notice. Preserve the agenda as evidence of the district’s practice. Investigate if this is the standard policy for all Legacy Traditional School boards in Arizona and monitor for any instances of comments being excluded.
