WALDEN v. MESA UNIFIED

Syllabus

1. Whether the superior court erred in dismissing a lawsuit filed against a school district for lack of standing where the parent of a student alleged violations of several statutes, including Arizona's Parents' Bill of Rights, A.R.S. § 1-602, arising from the district's adoption of guidelines designed to support transgender and gender nonconforming students. 2. Whether the superior court properly concluded a school district board member lacked standing to sue the district for a writ of mandamus, declaratory judgment, and injunction on the grounds that the district's guidelines violate multiple statutes and that she was denied the right to vote on whether the guidelines should have been adopted by the board. 3. Whether the superior court erred in finding that the parent's lawsuit was not timely filed under A.R.S. § 12-821, which requires all claims against governmental entities and employees to be filed within one year of when the claim accrues.
