MONITOR (LEVEL 6)
Public Comment Limited to Advance Email Submission
📅 November 12, 2026
The board’s public comment procedure for its November 12, 2026 joint meeting requires all comments to be submitted via email by noon on the day of the meeting. The rules do not provide for in-person or live virtual comment at the hybrid meeting, and staff may not read all submitted comments aloud, creating a potential restriction on public speech.
Intake Action

PRE-MEETING ACTION: Send a letter to the board at azboardinfo@legacytraditional.org before the November 12 meeting, noting that the public comment rules appear to foreclose in-person comment at an in-person meeting and may constitute an unreasonable time, place, and manner restriction. Request confirmation of the policy and any legal justification. Preserve the agenda as evidence of the practice.

Policy Text Not Available – Updated Investment Policy
📅 November 12, 2026
The board will discuss and possibly act on an ‘updated investment policy’ under item V.C. The text of this policy is not included in the agenda packet, preventing review for potential issues such as ESG mandates or other ideological investment screens that could create compelled speech or religious liberty exposure.
Intake Action

PULL THE DOCUMENT: For item V.C., retrieve the ‘updated investment policy’ from the official agenda link or via a public records request to azboardinfo@legacytraditional.org before the vote. Review for ESG criteria or other provisions that could create legal exposure.
