Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Salt River Pima-Maricopa Community Schools (4320). We found 3 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Public Comment Framed as ‘Privilege, Not a Right’
The board’s official policy under ‘Call to the Public’ explicitly states that public comment is a ‘privilege not a right.’ This language fundamentally undermines the role of parents and taxpayers in holding the board accountable, suggesting their input is optional and can be revoked.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND RESPECT: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Item 1.C is unacceptable. Public comment is a right, not a privilege. We demand the board revise its policy to reflect that parents are essential stakeholders, not guests pleading for permission to speak.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Suppressed Parent Voice

Vague HR Report on Consent Agenda
The board plans to approve a ‘Human Resources Report’ for all new hires, resignations, and promotions as part of a bundled consent agenda vote. This common tactic can be used to approve controversial staff, such as DEI or SEL specialists, without any public discussion or review.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘I demand the Human Resources Report (Item 5.C) be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and vote. Parents have a right to know who is being hired to influence our children.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Personnel

| Major Win (LEVEL 8) |

Strong Parent Engagement Plan and Compact Proposed
The district is set to approve a ‘Parent and Family Engagement Plan’ that defines parents as essential partners in their child’s education. The attached plan focuses on academic support, clear communication, and involving parents in decision-making, serving as a positive model for what parental rights policies should look like.
How to Lock It In
SECURE THE WIN: Show up to thank the Board for Item 6.A. Publicly praise the focus on academics and genuine parent partnership. This creates a positive public record and makes it harder for future boards to weaken these protections.
✅ Why It Matters: Parental Partnership
