Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Washington Unified. We found 5 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
Six-Figure ‘School Culture’ Consultant
The board is set to approve a $108,250 contract with Marzano Resources to implement a “High Reliability Schools” framework. These consultant-led frameworks often use euphemisms like “school culture” and “Whole Child” to introduce Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and data-tracking systems that shift focus away from core academics.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a $108,250 contract for an outside consultant to reshape your child’s school. Contact the Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Vote NO on the Marzano Resources contract (Item N.1). We need that $108,250 spent on teachers and textbooks, not ideological consultants.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $108,250 (Ideological Consulting)

Student Data Mining Program Renewal
The district is renewing a $69,596 contract for the “i-Ready” program, a “universal screening and diagnostic assessment tool.” These programs collect vast amounts of student data to create “personalized learning pathways” that can replace direct teacher instruction and track sensitive student information.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The full contract is hidden in an attachment. Contact the Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Regarding item M.4.a, who owns the student data collected by i-Ready? I demand to see the parental opt-out form for this data collection program before you approve this $69,596 contract.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $69,595.68 (Student Data)

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Teacher Surveillance and Evaluation System
The district is spending an additional $13,840 (totaling $75,040) on a software called “KickUp” to manage teacher evaluations. This “Growth module” will track observations and collect “evidence,” creating a system that could be used to enforce ideological conformity on teachers based on subjective metrics.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The full agreement is in an attachment. Contact the Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Regarding item M.4.c, what specific metrics will the KickUp “Growth module” use to evaluate teachers? Parents are concerned this $75,000 system will be used to enforce DEI or SEL ideology in the classroom.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $75,040 (Teacher Conformity)

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Undisclosed Contracts Bundled on Consent Agenda
The board is being asked to approve an unknown number of contracts, each under $35,000, without any public disclosure of the vendors or services. This practice hides spending from parental oversight and prevents scrutiny of who the district is paying with taxpayer money.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘I demand that item M.3.c, “Ratification of Contracts,” be pulled from the Consent Agenda. Parents have a right to know which vendors are being paid with our tax dollars before they are approved.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Spending

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Politically Charged ‘Land Acknowledgment’ Mandate
The district is formally adopting a statement to be read at meetings that describes the land as the site of “centuries of genocide and occupation.” This inserts a specific, politically charged historical narrative into official district proceedings, setting an ideological tone for all business.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE BOARD: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link for details) and ask: ‘Will this land acknowledgment be required in classrooms? Parents are concerned about the district prioritizing political statements over academic instruction.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Focus on Activism, Not Academics
