| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
Board Proposes to Silence Individual Board Members
A proposed new bylaw would prohibit individual board members from investigating parent complaints or directing staff. It forces them to funnel all parent concerns through the Superintendent or Board President, effectively creating a gag order on your elected representatives and centralizing power with the administration.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a First Reading. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Vote NO on the new BB 9200. Do not vote to silence our elected representatives and create a barrier between parents and the board. We elect individuals, not a single gatekeeper.’

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
District Applying for Strings-Attached Federal & State Funds
The district is approving its “Consolidated Application” to receive state and federal categorical funds. These grants often come with mandates for specific ideological programs (like SEL or DEI) and data collection requirements that parents are never told about.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email Superintendent Grandoli (contact info on district website): ‘Before the Board approves the Consolidated Application, please provide a public list of every program these funds will support and what, if any, new curriculum, surveys, or data collection will be required.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Federal Strings Attached

Vague Policy Updates — Manual Review Required
The board is conducting a first reading of several policies (BP 5141.75 Weather Safety, BP 5142 Safety, BP 7110 Facilities). The full text of these new policies was not included in the agenda packet, preventing public review before the meeting.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The full text for items IX.ii, IX.iii, and IX.iv must be reviewed. Open the attachments on the official agenda (linked above) to confirm these policies do not contain hidden ideological language or parental rights violations.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Policy Language

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
School Focuses on ‘Inclusive Community’ and ‘Climate’
The Cappy Culver school update mentions a new committee to strengthen “campus culture and climate” and promote an “authentically inclusive community.” While these terms can be harmless, they are often used as entry points for DEI and SEL initiatives that replace academics with social agendas.
Recommended Action Plan
Monitor: Ask the Cappy Culver principal for details on the ‘CCC committee’ and what specific ‘team building activities’ will be used to promote an ‘inclusive community.’ Ensure this doesn’t become a vehicle for divisive identity politics.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Focus Shift from Academics

Win: District Affirms Parental Opt-Out for Abuse Prevention Lessons
The district is updating its Child Abuse Prevention policy. While it adds new instruction on sexual assault, the summary explicitly confirms that “parent(s)/guardian(s) have the right to excuse their child from all instruction” on this topic.
How to Lock It In
AMPLIFY THIS WIN: Email the Board (contact info on district website) to thank them for explicitly protecting parental opt-out rights in BP 5141.4. Publicly praising this ensures it stays in the final version and sets a precedent for other districts.
✅ Why It Matters: Parental Authority Protected
