Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Deer Valley Unified District (4246). We found 5 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
First Reading: Potential Overhaul of Core Curriculum Policy
The board is considering revisions to the “Basic Instructional Program” policy (IHA), based on recommendations from the Arizona School Board Association (ASBA). This is a primary channel for introducing non-academic ideologies like Social Emotional Learning or “equity” into the core curriculum.
Recommended Action Plan
URGENT REVIEW REQUIRED: Open the file ‘CIA_IHA Policy tracked changes.pdf’ for Item 6.F in the Official Agenda (linked above). We must scrutinize every word of the proposed changes for ideological keywords before this becomes policy. Email the Governing Board: ‘Parents demand a full public review of proposed changes to Policy IHA. We must keep academics, not ideology, at the core of instruction.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Replacing Academics

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |

First Reading: Changes to High School Graduation Requirements
The board is reviewing changes to graduation requirements (Policy IKF), based on ASBA recommendations. This could be used to add requirements for things like “community service,” “civic engagement,” or other non-academic, potentially political activities for students to graduate.
Recommended Action Plan
URGENT REVIEW REQUIRED: Open the file ‘CIA_IKF Policy tracked changes.pdf’ for Item 6.H in the Official Agenda (linked above). We need to know exactly what is being added or removed. Email the Governing Board: ‘What specific changes are being proposed to graduation requirements in Policy IKF, and how do they strengthen academic achievement?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Mandatory Activism

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |

Undisclosed Vendors on Consent Agenda
The board is set to approve a list of vendors for purchases over $100,000 under the Consent Agenda (Item 4.G), but the list itself is only in an attached file not included in the main agenda text. This process can be used to approve contracts with ideological vendors for SEL or data-mining without public discussion.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and email the Governing Board. ‘I demand Item 4.G be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. Parents deserve to see the list of vendors and hear the Board debate these contracts publicly.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Ideological Vendors

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
First Reading: Changes to Public Agenda & Meeting Policies
The board is reviewing changes to policies governing meeting agendas (BEDB and BEDBA), prompted by a new state law on Open Meetings. These changes could impact how much information parents receive about board business and when they receive it, potentially reducing transparency.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open files ‘PROPOSED BEDB_ AGENDA.pdf’ and ‘PROPOSED BEDBA _AGENDA PREPARATION AND DISSEMINATION.pdf’ attached to items 6.A and 6.B in the Official Agenda (linked above). We must confirm these changes increase, not decrease, the public’s right to know.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Transparency

| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |

“School Safety Grant” Funding Police Officers
The district is using a “School Safety Grant” from the Arizona Department of Education to pay for School Resource Officers. While SROs are a plus, these grants can come with hidden strings, such as requirements to adopt specific behavioral frameworks like Restorative Practices or to share student data.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link). ‘Regarding the School Safety Grant mentioned in items 3.B and 4.H, what are the specific terms and conditions? Does accepting this money require the district to implement any specific behavioral, mental health, or data-collection programs?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Ideological Strings Attached
