$43 Million Approved on Consent Agenda Without Public Detail
The board is set to approve over $43 million in spending under Item 2.A as part of a single ‘consent agenda’ vote, with no public itemization of vendors or purchases. This practice hides where taxpayer money is going, preventing parents from scrutinizing contracts with potentially ideological vendors.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘I demand that the Vouchers in Item 2.A be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and vote. Parents have a right to know exactly where $43 million of our money is being spent before it is approved.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $43.2M (Undisclosed)

New Policy Allows Child Protective Services to Interview Students at School Without Parents
Under the proposed Policy 5-402, the district will formally allow Department of Child Safety (DCS) workers to interview your child on campus without your notification or presence if DCS claims it would ‘impede an investigation.’ This policy also grants DCS access to your child’s educational records, removing parents from the circle of trust.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a direct threat to parental rights. Sign up for public comment on Item 3.A. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘I oppose Policy 5-402 as written. No government agent should be allowed to interrogate my child at school without my knowledge and consent.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Right to be Present

District Partners with ‘Teen Lifeline’ for Student Mental Health Services
The district is entering a multi-year agreement (Item 2.E) with ‘Teen Lifeline’ to provide suicide prevention and ‘social and emotional’ services to students. The agreement emphasizes ‘student confidentiality,’ which could mean parents are kept in the dark, and the critical Memorandum of Understanding and Data Security Agreement were not included in the public agenda packet.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) for Item 2.E to confirm the policies on parental notification and consent for services provided to minor students. The MOU and Data Security Agreement must be reviewed before this is approved.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Parental Notification

$3.7 Million Federal Head Start Grant Amendment
The board is approving a $3.7 million amendment (Item 2.F) for the federally funded Head Start program. These large federal grants often come with ideological strings attached, mandating specific social-emotional or equity-based programming, but the full text of the amendment was not provided for public review.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) for Item 2.F to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes or mandates tied to the federal funding.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $3.7M (Federal Strings Attached)

District Creates New ‘Behavioral Health’ Referral System
The district is adopting a new policy (5-411) to create a formal system for school-based referrals for behavioral and mental health services. While the policy thankfully requires parents to annually opt-in, it still establishes a pipeline for school staff to refer students to outside providers, a system that requires close monitoring.
Recommended Action Plan
MONITOR & ENGAGE: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding new Policy 5-411 under Item 3.A, thank you for making the behavioral health referral system opt-in only. We will be monitoring this program’s implementation and vendor selection closely to ensure parental rights are always the first priority.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: School-Based Mental Health Pipeline

Major Win: District Adopts Strong Parental Rights Policy
The board is adopting a revised Policy 1-401 that strengthens parental rights, requiring written parent permission (opt-in) not just for formal sex education, but for ANY instruction or materials dealing with sexuality. This is a huge victory that closes a common loophole used to sneak gender ideology into other subjects.
How to Lock It In
AMPLIFY THIS WIN: Show up to thank the Board for adopting the strong opt-in language in Policy 1-401 under Item 3.A. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Thank you for strengthening parental rights in Policy 1-401. Requiring an opt-in for all instruction on sexuality is a model for every district in Arizona.’
✅ Why It Matters: Strengthened Parental Consent
