Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Los Gatos-Saratoga Union High. We found 6 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
Board Using School Resources for Political Lobbying
The Board is voting on Resolution #2627-02 to officially oppose a federal ICE detention center. This uses the school district’s official platform and taxpayer-funded resources to take a stance on a political issue far outside of K-12 education.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: The Board’s job is to focus on academics, not national politics. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and sign up for public comment. Tell them: ‘Vote NO on Resolution #2627-02. Stop using our schools to advance a political agenda.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying

New $180,000 ‘Health’ Contract with Unvetted Vendor
The district is fast-tracking a $180,000 contract with a new, unvetted vendor, ‘Pine Health, LLC,’ for ‘specialized, IEP-mandated services.’ The actual contract detailing these services was not included in the agenda packet, hiding what is being provided to a special needs student.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Before approving a $180,000 contract with Pine Health, LLC, the public must see the full agreement. What specific services are being provided, and what are this vendor’s qualifications?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $180,000

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Public Comment Time Capped at 20 Minutes Total
The agenda states that the total time for all public comment on any topic is capped at 20 minutes for the entire meeting. This severely restricts the ability of parents to voice their concerns to the board on important issues.
Recommended Action Plan
DEFEND YOUR VOICE: Contact the Board President (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘A 20-minute total cap on public comment is an unacceptable limit on parental engagement. We demand you remove this arbitrary restriction on our right to be heard.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Parent Voice

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Hidden Contracts Bundled on Consent Agenda
Item III.C asks for a blanket approval of all contracts valued under $50,000. The attachment listing these vendors and services was not provided, preventing any public scrutiny of who the district is paying and for what.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘I demand that Item III.C, Contracts for Less than $50,000, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a full public discussion. Parents have a right to know which vendors are operating in our schools before they are approved.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Spending
|
| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Vague ‘Leadership Series’ Staff Training
The district is celebrating its ‘Leadership Series,’ a yearlong professional learning program. The description is vague, and the attachment with details was not included, which could conceal the introduction of ideological training like DEI or SEL under the guise of ‘leadership skills.’
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘Leadership Series Year 1 Update’ attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm the content of this training. Ask the board: ‘What specific curriculum and trainers were used for the Leadership Series, and how does it support academic excellence?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Ideological Staff Training
|
| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Board Discussing Changes to Its Own Rules
Under item II.D, the board is discussing changes to its own bylaws regarding how meeting materials and resolutions are handled. The attachment showing the proposed changes was not included, obscuring whether they are trying to increase or decrease transparency and public oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file for ‘Bylaw 9322’ attached in the Official Agenda (linked above). Contact the board: ‘Any changes to board bylaws must increase transparency, not reduce it. We will oppose any effort to limit public access or input on board resolutions.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Board Oversight
