Is SUSD Safe with these extremists candidates?
They have no experience in education and never worked in a school, yet want to make important decisions for more than 20,000 students and their families in Scottsdale.

Stop the Hate Slate
Their backers are political anti-government lobbyists and religious extremists that want to bring Christian indoctrination materials like Prager University and libertarian Tuttle Twin books into public schools.

Gretchen Jacobs
Is a lobbyist for Betsey DeVos’s pro-voucher group American Federation for Children that wants to divert money from public schools and into the pockets of religious institutions and private school owners that fund her campaign.
Is promoting a bill that would make it easier to sue SUSD and cost our school district millions of dollars.
Tried to work with the Trump administration to help fundraise for the “Stop the Steal” forensic audit that cost Arizona taxpayers millions of dollars

Admitted he plans to defund our already underfunded schools and won’t support the crucial bond measures that fund $22 million of services and capital expenses that students rely on in Scottsdales 29 public schools.

Jeanne Beasley
Was appointed to the SUSD Audit Committee in 2023 despite zero prior experience in the audit or financial industry.
Is financially backed by SUSD-hater Pam Kirby, who has a history of recruiting corrupt candidates to the district and who supported the forensic “stop the steal” audit that found no irregularities.
The SUSD Hater Slate will cause nothing but trouble for 20,000 students.
Voters can NOT count on these candidates to support the override measures that SUSD rely's on to pay for full-day kindergarten, specials, teachers aids, and numerous capital improvement that are NOT fully funded by the state. Without these measures, SUSD may have to resort to half-day Wednesdays.
