📄 View Official Agenda
Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Saddle Mountain Unified School District (4254). We found 5 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9)
Board to Vote on Adopting State Lobbying Agenda
📅 2026-09-09
The Board will vote to adopt the official political agenda of the Arizona School Boards Association (ASBA). This means our district could use its standing and our tax dollars to lobby for or against state laws, potentially undermining parental rights legislation.
Recommended Action Plan

INVESTIGATE & SPEAK UP: The specific political positions are in file ‘2026-Delegate-Assembly-Memorandum-Final.pdf’. Open this file on the official agenda (linked above) to see the ASBA’s agenda. Email the board (see the Official Agenda link for contacts): ‘Our district should not engage in political lobbying. Vote NO on adopting the ASBA political agenda in Item G.2.’

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying
⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6)
New ‘Participatory Budgeting’ Program Proposed
📅 2026-09-09
The district is considering an agreement for a ‘School Participatory Budgeting’ program, a ‘civic education’ initiative from the Center for the Future of Arizona. These programs can be used to push political activism by having students vote on how to spend real district funds, often through a social justice lens.
Recommended Action Plan

INVESTIGATE: The full details are in the agreement file ‘Saddle Mountain USD-CFA SPB and Data Security Agreement_2026-27.pdf’. Open this file on the official agenda (linked above). Email the board (see the Official Agenda link for contacts): ‘Regarding Item G.8, what are the ideological guardrails on this program? Parents must be able to review all curriculum and opt out before our children are taught how to spend taxpayer money.’

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Student Political Activism
ALERT (LEVEL 3)
Student Club Trip to Disney ‘Leadership’ Program
📅 2026-09-09
A student club (FCCLA) is requesting approval for a trip to a Disneyland Leadership Institute. The trip’s purpose statement includes a focus on ‘diversity when assembling a team,’ which can sometimes be a vector for ideological content in corporate training.
Recommended Action Plan

Monitor: This is a club-funded trip on the consent agenda. Track for future scope creep; no immediate action required.

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Potential Ideological Influence
✅ Wins to Defend
Good moves worth showing up to support so they stick.
Major Win (LEVEL 8)
New Policies Strengthen Child Protection and Parent Transparency
📅 2026-09-09
The board is voting on policy updates that strengthen child safety and parental rights. The changes clarify that staff cannot delegate or delay their duty to report suspected child abuse and require the district to acknowledge public records requests within five days.
How to Lock It In

PACK THE ROOM TO SUPPORT: Show up to thank the Board for strengthening child protection and parental transparency in Item E.5. Get this on the record so it can’t be quietly reversed and use it as a model for neighboring districts.

✅ Why It Matters: Stronger Child Safety
Win (LEVEL 5)
District Adopts Stricter Financial Oversight Rules
📅 2026-09-09
The board is adopting new policies recommended by the state Auditor General to tighten financial controls. This includes stronger conflict-of-interest rules for employees and better board oversight of student activity funds.
How to Lock It In

SUPPORT THIS: Email the Governing Board (see the Official Agenda link for contacts) to thank them for adopting stronger financial transparency and accountability measures under Item E.4. This creates a public record of support for good governance.

✅ Why It Matters: Improved Taxpayer Protection
