Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Encinitas Union Elementary. We found 8 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |
|
District Buys Student Behavior Tracking System
Under a massive $3.7 million contract renewal (Item 8.G), the district is paying a company called Branching Minds, LLC for a “Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) Core Platform.” MTSS is a school-wide system to monitor, track, and modify student behavior, academics, and emotional states, creating a detailed digital file on your child that you may never see.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a data-mining system disguised as ‘support.’ Email the Board ( Board@eusd.net) and Superintendent: ‘I do not consent to my child being subjected to psychological profiling and behavioral data-mining through MTSS. Vote NO on the Branching Minds contract in Item 8.G.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

Policy Creates Loophole for Unvetted Materials
Item 8.A includes a list of instructional materials, but buried at the end is a policy stating “teachers are encouraged to design curriculum around state standards to enrich the classroom learning experience.” This gives individual teachers a blank check to bring any book, worksheet, or video they want into the classroom, bypassing official review and leaving parents in the dark.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: This policy makes official curriculum lists meaningless. Email the Board ( Board@eusd.net): ‘Parents have a right to know what is being taught. I demand that you strike the “Teacher Designed Supplemental Curriculum” language from Item 8.A and require all materials to go through a parent-led review committee.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Bypassing Parental Review

District Pays $235k for SEL-Focused ‘iReady’ Curriculum
A renewal list under Item 8.G confirms the district is spending $234,946.25 on the iReady program from Curriculum Associates. While marketed for math and reading, iReady is a major platform for Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and collects massive amounts of data on student performance and emotional responses.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board ( Board@eusd.net) and Superintendent: ‘Regarding the $235k iReady contract in Item 8.G, I demand to know what specific SEL content is included and how parents can opt their children out of all non-academic surveys and data collection.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $234,946.25

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |

Policy Updates Add ‘All-Gender Restrooms’ and Activist Hotlines
As part of a large policy update (Item 7.C), the district is formally adding language about “all-gender restrooms” and adopting state language that requires printing the “Trevor Project’s LGBTQ+ suicide hotline” on student ID cards. The Trevor Project is a political activist organization, not a neutral mental health resource.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is social engineering, not education. Email the Board ( Board@eusd.net): ‘Vote NO on the policy updates in Item 7.C. Our bathrooms must be safe spaces based on biological sex, and our children should not be directed to activist groups for mental health support.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Replacing Safety with Ideology

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
District Adopts ‘Ecoliteracy’ and ‘Sustainability’ Programs
Purchase orders being ratified under Item 9.D show payments to “BCK PROGRAMS, LLC” for “Ecoliteracy Programs” and “School Sustainability Support.” These are often code words for curriculum that promotes climate alarmism and political activism, taking time away from core subjects like reading and math.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the Board ( Board@eusd.net): ‘Regarding the BCK Programs contract in Item 9.D, please provide the full curriculum for parental review. We must ensure that “ecoliteracy” is about science, not political activism, and we need the opt-out form.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Replacing Academics with Activism

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
District Limits Public Comment and Student Speech
The agenda (Item 6.A) states that emailed public comments “will not be read aloud,” silencing parents who can’t attend in person. Additionally, a policy update in Item 7.C introduces vague rules against “discriminatory” student speech that could be used to punish students for expressing traditional or religious views.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND YOUR RIGHTS: Email the Board ( Board@eusd.net): ‘All public comments, whether in-person or emailed, must be entered into the public record and read aloud. Furthermore, student speech is protected by the First Amendment; do not adopt vague policies that chill free expression.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Parent & Student Voice

| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
District Adopts Policies on Immigration Enforcement
Policy updates in Item 7.C direct the district to create procedures for responding to immigration enforcement on campus and limit cooperation with federal agencies. This diverts school focus and resources to a national political issue that has nothing to do with educating children.
Recommended Action Plan
FOCUS ON EDUCATION: Email the Board ( Board@eusd.net): ‘The district’s job is to teach reading, writing, and arithmetic, not to interfere in federal immigration matters. Reject the politically motivated policy updates in Item 7.C and focus on academics.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Political Distraction

✅ Wins to Defend
Good moves worth showing up to support so they stick.

| Major Win (LEVEL 9) |
|
WIN: District Forced to Acknowledge Parental Opt-Out Rights
A proposed policy update (Item 7.C) includes a reference to a recent court decision, Mahmoud v. Taylor, which affirms parents’ right to opt their children out of instructional content that interferes with their religious beliefs. This is a powerful legal precedent the district now has on record, strengthening every parent’s ability to protect their child from ideological instruction.
How to Lock It In
SECURE THE WIN: Show up to thank the Board for including the Mahmoud v. Taylor precedent in policy updates. Email the Board ( Board@eusd.net): ‘Thank you for acknowledging the parental right to opt-out based on the Mahmoud v. Taylor decision in Item 7.C. We expect this right to be fully honored for any and all controversial curriculum.’
✅ Why It Matters: Strengthened Parental Rights
