Heads up! We have scanned the upcoming agenda for Laveen Elementary District (4276). We found 5 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
Secret Policy Changes May Be Rushed to Vote
The board is conducting a ‘First Reading’ of unspecified policy revisions and may vote to waive the second reading, fast-tracking them into effect without adequate public review. The actual text of the proposed policies is not included in the public agenda packet, hiding potentially major changes to parental rights or curriculum.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details) and demand they DO NOT waive the second reading for Item G.8. ‘Parents deserve time to review any policy changes that affect our children. Vote NO on waiving the second reading.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Parental Oversight

District to Share Student Data with High School District
The district plans to approve a data-sharing agreement with Phoenix Union High School District. While the district claims it requires ‘affirmative parental consent,’ the full agreement detailing exactly what student data will be shared, how it will be used for ‘support,’ and who has access has not been made public.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website) and demand the full text of the ‘Data Sharing Agreement’ in Item G.4 be published for public review at least 72 hours before any vote. ‘Parents have a right to know exactly what student data is being shared before consenting.’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Data Privacy

District Details Spending Plan for $50M Bond
The district is presenting its spending plan for the $50 million bond and tax overrides voters approved. While much is for construction, funds are also designated for broad categories like ‘technology’ and ‘curriculum and textbooks’ with no specifics, which could be used to purchase unvetted software or ideological materials.
Recommended Action Plan
ATTEND THE HEARING: At the Public Hearing for Item A.1, ask the Board how they will ensure bond and override funds for ‘curriculum’ and ‘technology’ are spent on proven academic programs, not ideological content or ineffective screen-time software. Demand a public review process for all such purchases.
💰 Impact: $50 Million Bond

| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |

Federal Funds Sent to Unvetted Education Vendor
The district is entering an agreement to pool federal Title I funds with another district and pay them to a third-party vendor, ‘FACTS Education Solutions, LLC,’ for ‘instructional services’ at a private school. The vendor is not well-known, and no details about the curriculum or services being provided have been shared.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Contact the Board (see official agenda link) regarding Item G.9. ‘Before approving the MOU, please provide the public with information on the vendor FACTS Education Solutions, LLC, and the specific curriculum and instructional services they will be providing with our federal tax dollars.’
💰 Impact: Federal Strings Attached

Board Oversight Added to K-3 Literacy Committee
Following new state guidelines, the district is adding a Governing Board member to the K-3 Literacy Committee. This is a positive step toward direct, elected oversight of the district’s early literacy plans and curriculum choices.
How to Lock It In
AMPLIFY THIS WIN: Show up or email the Board (contact info on district website) to thank them for this move toward accountability in Item G.5. Urge them to appoint a board member committed to phonics-based, academically rigorous literacy instruction.
✅ Why It Matters: Increased Accountability
