| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Federal Funding Plan Hidden in Consent Agenda
The board is set to approve the ‘Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) Federal Addendum’ as a routine item. This plan dictates how federal ESSA funds (Title I, II, III, IV) are spent, which often come with strings attached requiring specific ideological programs like SEL or DEI.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Pull Item 6.f from the Consent Agenda for a full discussion. Parents deserve to know what ideological strings are attached to the federal money you are accepting on behalf of our children.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Federal Strings Attached

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
School-Level Spending Plans Approved Without Review
Item 7.a asks for a blanket approval of the ‘School Plans for Student Achievement’ (SPSA) for every school in the district. These individual plans detail exactly how money is spent in the classroom and are the most likely place to find hidden SEL curriculum, DEI initiatives, or contracts with ideological vendors.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The agenda references over a dozen SPSA attachments that were not included in the board packet text. Go to the official agenda link, find Item 7.a, and open the SPSA for your child’s school. Email the Board demanding these plans be postponed until parents have 30 days to review them.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Hidden Curriculum

Approval of Unvetted Online Curriculum Vendor
The district is approving courses from ‘Edmentum,’ an online curriculum provider, for its Independent Study programs. Third-party online vendors are a common way for SEL and other ideological content to enter the classroom, bypassing traditional parent review of textbooks.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item 7.d, what is the parental review process for the Edmentum curriculum? We demand full access to all course materials before this is approved.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Unvetted Online Curriculum

| ALERT (LEVEL 3) |
|
Vague Personnel Report on Consent Agenda
Item 6.a asks for approval of ‘personnel items’ without providing any names, roles, or salaries. Bundling undisclosed hires into the consent agenda is a common tactic to approve controversial positions, like DEI officers or consultants, without public discussion.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The attachment for Item 6.a was not provided. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Please un-bundle Item 6.a from the consent agenda and publicly state the names and job titles for all personnel being approved.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Hires
