The board considered two separate agreements with the Copper State Education Alliance (CSEA) — a membership agreement and a parallel advocacy agreement — and approved both after discussion about cost and alternatives.

The chair summarized the agreements as "just under $20,000 total" and discussed that membership and advocacy elements could be taken separately. Trustees compared the proposals to prior membership with ASBA and discussed policy and advocacy trade-offs. The transcript records voice votes approving the membership agreement and then the advocacy agreement; later in the CSEA portion the record shows at least one "No" and one "No abstain" comment during roll-call portions of the discussion segment.

The board then considered signing a letter of support for First Things First, an Arizona early-childhood funder that supports family resource centers and preschool programs. The board played an advocacy video (narrated by "Russell") that outlined steep revenue declines for First Things First: "First Things First annual revenues have decreased by nearly 40%... More than $63,000,000 a year when compared to the level of funding when we began operations 20 years ago," the video said. After discussion, the board moved and approved the letter of support.

Staff told the board items and corrected versions of posted reports would be uploaded to the district repository.
