AI Used to ‘Reduce Bias’ in Official Meeting Minutes
The district is using Artificial Intelligence to prepare official school board meeting minutes, claiming it reduces ‘unintentional bias.’ This raises serious transparency concerns about who controls the AI and what viewpoints it might be programmed to alter or omit from the public record.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item 9.1, what AI program is being used for meeting minutes, what is its definition of ‘bias,’ and who reviews the AI’s changes? The official record must be a human-transcribed, verbatim account, not an AI’s interpretation.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Sanitized Public Record

Public Comment Rules Could Limit Parent Voices
The board’s public comment policy allows the president to limit total comment time on a single topic to 20 minutes and ask groups with the same viewpoint to select a few speakers. This rule can be used to silence widespread parental opposition on controversial issues by preventing every concerned parent from speaking.
Recommended Action Plan
BE PREPARED: If you plan to speak on a hot-button issue, coordinate with other parents to ensure your key points are made even if the Board limits speakers. Arrive early and sign up to speak to show the full force of opposition.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Parent Voice

Vague Title — Manual Review Required

Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘8.13.2026 PAR’ attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive hires. This must be reviewed before the meeting.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Hires

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The board is approving contracts for three individuals to support ‘TPAC,’ an undefined acronym. The specific jobs and pay rates are in an un-extracted attachment, preventing parents from knowing who is being hired and for what purpose.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the files ‘TPAC Consultants 8 13 26’ and ‘TPAC Services’ attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to determine what ‘TPAC’ is and what services these contractors will provide to students.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed

Superintendent to Present on AI and Strategic Plan
The Superintendent will report on new ‘Artificial Intelligence Guidelines’ and the district’s ‘Strategic Plan.’ These documents often contain policies on student data privacy and can introduce ideological frameworks under vague, corporate-sounding terms.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘Superintendent’s Report 8-13-26’ attached in the Official Agenda (linked above). Parents need to see the details of these new AI and strategic plans before they become policy.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Student Data Privacy

Chromebook Purchase Tied to LCAP Grant Funds
The district is purchasing 200 Chromebooks for $103,510.50 using ‘Supplemental Grant Funds’ from the LCAP. Parents should be aware of what priorities and metrics are tied to LCAP funding, as they can sometimes include equity or social-emotional goals.
Recommended Action Plan
Monitor: Be aware of the district’s LCAP goals. No immediate action required, but track how grant-funded technology is used to meet those goals.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $103,510.50 (Possible Strings Attached)
