Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Salt River Pima-Maricopa Community Schools (4320). We found 5 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
“Wellness” Programs Used to Implement SEL and Data Mining
The Early Childhood annual report (Item 2.E) reveals the use of “Conscious Discipline,” a Social Emotional Learning (SEL) curriculum, to manage student behavior. The report also details extensive data collection on families through a “Community Needs Assessment” and providing services like “mental health” and “crisis intervention,” positioning the school as a social services hub that can intervene in family life.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘The Annual Report under Item 2.E reveals the use of SEL programs like Conscious Discipline and extensive family data collection. What is the parental consent and opt-out process for these programs and data-gathering activities?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

Public Comment Labeled a “Privilege, Not a Right”
The board’s policy for public comment explicitly states it is a “privilege not a right” and limits speakers to five minutes. This language is designed to chill speech and can be used to silence parents by dismissing their concerns as unimportant rather than as a fundamental part of public oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: Public comment is a right of the people to petition their elected officials, not a privilege the board grants. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and demand the board revise the policy in Item 1.C to affirm public comment is a right. We will not be silenced.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Suppressed Parent Voice

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Undisclosed Revisions to Board Bylaws
The board plans to vote on unspecified revisions to its own bylaws with no attachment or summary of the changes provided. This lack of transparency prevents parents from knowing how the district’s governance, and their rights, might be altered behind closed doors.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Item 2.D proposes changes to board bylaws but provides no text. This vote must be postponed until the full text of the proposed revisions is made public for parental review.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Board Oversight
|
| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Federal Grant with Potential Strings Attached
The board is discussing a spending plan for the Child Care Development Fund (CCDF), a $9.6 million federal grant. These grants often come with requirements for specific programs, data collection on families, or ideological frameworks that are not disclosed upfront to parents.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item 2.A, please provide the full text of the CCDF grant requirements. Parents have a right to know what federal mandates are tied to this funding before the spending plan is approved.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $9.6M (Federal Strings Attached)

| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Vague Plan to Expand Programming for Middle Schoolers
The board is discussing “expanding programming” for students aged 12-15 with no specifics provided. This lack of transparency could hide the introduction of controversial health services, social programs, or surveys without parental knowledge or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS NOW: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘What specific programs are being considered under Item 2.B for students ages 12-15? Parents must be involved in this discussion from the beginning, not after decisions have been made.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Programs
