$900,000 “Mentoring” Contract Hidden in Financials
Buried in a purchase order list is a $900,000 payment to “Behavioral Emotional & Academic Mentoring (BEAM) LLC.” This massive expenditure for vague “mentoring” services, which often serves as a cover for SEL or other psychological interventions, has not been presented as a standalone contract for public review.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: The district is trying to sneak a $900,000 contract for ‘Behavioral Emotional & Academic Mentoring’ past parents by hiding it in a financial report (PO1-27-0434.1). Email the Board of Education (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘We demand you pull PO1-27-0434.1 for BEAM LLC from the Claims and Accounts (Item 14.A) for a full, public discussion. What services does this company provide for nearly a million dollars?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $900,000

$1.3 Million Healthcare Contract Raises School Clinic Questions

Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Education (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘The purchase order report lists a $1.3M payment to Vital Healthcare Inc. (PO1-27-0392.1) with no public contract discussion. What services does this cover, and does it involve school-based clinics that can treat students without parental consent?’

District to Pay $25,000 for “Social-Emotional Learning” Instructor
The district plans to approve a $25,000 contract with an individual, Torrey Daniels, to provide weekly “social-emotional learning” sessions for elementary students. The program explicitly aims to teach “emotional self-regulation” and “coping strategies,” replacing academic time with psychological programming.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a direct injection of SEL into the classroom. Email the Board of Education (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Vote NO on Item 18.M. We send our children to school for academics, not for psychological conditioning from outside contractors. Parents, not the school, are responsible for a child’s emotional development.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $25,000

Police in Schools Trained in “Restorative Justice”
The district is renewing its $534k contract for police in schools. The attached training plan requires deputies to be trained in ideological concepts like “restorative justice,” “cultural competency,” and “social emotional development,” turning law enforcement into social workers.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Education (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding Item 18.A, we want police to enforce laws, not to be trained as social justice workers. I demand the board explain why ‘restorative justice’ is required training for law enforcement in our schools. Pull this from the Consent Agenda for a full public discussion.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $534,057.06

$16,500 for “Social-Emotional and Mental Health Supports”
The district is ratifying a $16,500 contract with Starfish Educational Services to embed “social-emotional and mental health supports” at New River Elementary. This is funded by a “CA Community Schools Partnership” grant, which often comes with ideological strings attached.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Education (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding Item 18.H, what are the terms of the CA Community Schools Partnership grant? Parents have a right to know what ideological programs are mandated by this outside funding before you approve this vendor. Pull this from the Consent Agenda.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $16,500 (Strings Attached)

District Approving $177k Student Surveillance Platform
The district is renewing a 3-year, $177,804 contract for “Incident IQ,” a platform that tracks all district-owned devices and ties each student to their specific device and location. This creates a massive database of student activity and movement, normalizing surveillance.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the Board of Education (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding Item 18.E, who owns the student location and activity data collected by Incident IQ? What is the district’s data retention policy, and how can parents opt their children out of this surveillance system?’
