Audit and accountability clip

The message centers on a broader school-safety audit, credible-threat response, mandatory reporting, and accountability after serious violence on Phoenix Union campuses.

Transcript

Hi, I’m Representative Matt Gress, and I’m Representative Teresa Martinez. After serious violence on Phoenix Union campuses, including the tragic stabbing of a student at Maryvale High School, I asked the Joint Legislative Audit Committee to take a closer look. Students and teachers need to be protected. A special audit includes Phoenix Union as part of a broader statewide review of school-safety practices. This audit will examine how schools respond to credible threats and whether mandatory reporting laws are being followed. Parents should never have to wonder. The audit will establish the facts, identify gaps, and make sure schools are held accountable. Our goal is clear: transparency and accountability are essential.

FAQ

Common questions.

Quick answers about the site, student privacy, and the public-record language used for the bills.

Is this a government website?

No. Parents Deserve Notice AZ is a public issue-awareness website.

Does this site publish student names or private incident details?

No. This site does not publish student personally identifiable information, private allegations, or unverified incident claims.

Is HB2370 the same as Michael’s Law?

No. HB4109 / Michael’s Law concerns parent notice and school-safety procedures. HB2370 concerns weapons detection systems administration.

Why does HB2370 say “weapons detection systems” instead of “metal detectors”?

Families may call them metal detectors. Arizona’s public record uses the broader term “weapons detection systems.” The issue is straightforward: safety equipment needs clear rules, responsible safeguards, and accountable communication.
