| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |

District to Hire Outside Contractor for “Intensive Behavioral” Student Program
The board is voting under items E.1 and E.6 to lease school space to and award a contract to Specialized Education Services, Inc. (SESI) to run an ‘onsite intensive behavioral classroom’ for students. Parents have a right to know what ‘evidence-based approaches’ this private company will use with their children and whether they align with the community’s values.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Governing Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Regarding Items E.1 and E.6, I demand these items be pulled for a separate discussion. Before you approve a contract with SESI, parents deserve to see the full proposal and understand what ‘intensive behavioral’ methods will be used on students.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Contract Amount

Board to Vote on Taking Positions in State-Level Politics
The board will vote to direct its delegate on how to vote for the Arizona School Boards Association’s (ASBA) 2027 political agenda. This uses the district’s official position, funded by local taxpayers, to lobby for or against state legislation.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Contact the Governing Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Regarding Item E.3, please make the full ASBA Draft 2027 Political Agenda public before the board votes on it. Taxpayers have a right to know what political positions are being taken in their name.’
💰 Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying

| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Board to Authorize New Bond Debt Without Project List
The board is asking for approval to issue and sell ‘School Improvement bonds’ without providing a clear, itemized list of the specific projects this new debt will fund. This lacks the basic transparency required for the public to approve taking on new financial obligations.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK FIRST: Contact the Governing Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Regarding Item E.2, before authorizing new bond debt, please provide the public with a detailed list of the specific projects the ‘School Improvement bonds’ will fund. We deserve to know how this money will be spent.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Bond Amount

|
Board to Hire ASBA for “Strategic Plan” Development
The board is considering hiring the Arizona School Boards Association (ASBA) to develop a new ‘Governing Board Strategic Plan.’ These plans are often used by outside consultants to introduce controversial ‘equity’ and ‘social justice’ goals into a district’s mission.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Contact the Governing Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Regarding Item E.7, please publish the full ‘scope of work’ proposal from ASBA for the strategic plan. Parents must be able to review the proposed framework and goals before it is approved.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Consultant Fee
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The board is holding a first reading to revise Policy KI, which governs visitors to schools. The rationale claims this is for ‘reorganization,’ but any change to visitor policies could impact parents’ ability to access their child’s school and classroom.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘Policy KI Redline.pdf’ attached to Item F.4 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes that could limit parental access.
💰 Impact: Potential limits on parent access
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 3) |
|
State Pilot Program on “Child Sexual Abuse Prevention”
The board is reviewing a legislative alert about a new state-run pilot program for ‘Child Sexual Abuse and Assault Awareness and Prevention.’ While the goal is laudable, parents should monitor what curriculum and which ‘survivor-led organizations’ are involved to ensure content is age-appropriate and not a cover for Comprehensive Sex Ed.
Recommended Action Plan
Monitor: This is a discussion item about a state-level program, not a district vote. Track for future updates on which schools might participate and what curriculum will be used.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Curriculum
