| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |

Massive $2.3M Contract Includes “Social-Emotional Learning”
Item J.28 (26/27-1075) approves a $2,332,000 contract with the Sloane Stephens Foundation for sports and wellness programs. The district’s own analysis confirms the program includes “integrated social-emotional learning,” attaching ideological strings to a massive taxpayer-funded contract.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is an outrageous use of funds. Email the Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link): ‘A $2.3 million contract must not be used to push SEL on our kids. Vote NO on Item 26/27-1075 and demand a contract focused purely on athletics and academics.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $2,332,000.00

District Buys Behavior Software Linked to CASEL & Panorama
Item J.9 (26/27-1053) is a $6,309.50 contract with Navigate360 for a “Positive Behavioral Interventions and Support” (PBIS) system. The district’s own summary admits the software “correlates to the CASEL standards and Panorama Survey terminology,” linking it directly to a national SEL organization and a major student data-mining firm.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Superintendent and Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link). ‘I demand Item 26/27-1053 be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and vote. Why is the district buying software aligned with CASEL and Panorama’s data-mining terminology?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $6,309.50

District Spends $397k on “Social-Emotional” Reading Program
Item J.26 (26/27-1073) is a $397,089 contract with the J3 Foundation for a literacy program for 3rd and 4th graders. The program description explicitly states it includes “mindfulness and social-emotional learning,” mixing psychological programming with basic reading instruction.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Superintendent and Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link). ‘Item 26/27-1073 must be pulled from the Consent Agenda. Why are we spending nearly $400,000 to mix SEL and mindfulness with reading instruction? Focus on academics.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $397,089.00

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
“Creative Wellness” SEL Partnership Introduced
Item J.12 (26/27-1059) approves a partnership with “Arts for Healing & Justice Network” for a “Creative Wellness Social-Emotional Learning Partnership.” This brings outside activists into the school to teach “emotional coping skills,” “emotional intelligence,” and “self-regulation” through art, bypassing traditional academics and parental guidance on sensitive emotional topics.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This ‘no-cost’ partnership is a Trojan horse for SEL. Contact the Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Parents, not outside groups, should be guiding our children’s emotional development. Vote NO on the “Arts for Healing” agreement, Item 26/27-1059.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Ideological Outsourcing

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |

District Pays for Ideological Staff Training
Item J.36 (26/27-1083) is a $5,200 contract with LACOE to train counselors and staff in “trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and neuro-affirming practices.” This is ideological training that teaches staff to view students through a political lens and implement a “Multi-Tiered System of Supports” (MTSS) that can lead to data collection and intervention without full parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Superintendent and Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link). ‘What specific curriculum is LACOE using for the training in Item 26/27-1083? Parents have a right to know what political ideologies our staff are being trained in.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $5,200.00

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Public Comment Time Capped at 20 Minutes
The board’s policy, referenced in items B.1 and F.1, limits the total time for all public comments to only 20 minutes per meeting. This severely restricts the number of parents who can voice their concerns, effectively silencing the community on important issues before the board.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TO BE HEARD: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and email the Board of Trustees. ‘A 20-minute limit on public comment is an insult to this community. We demand you expand the time for public input so that parents’ voices can be heard.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Silencing Parental Voice
|
| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Board Bypassing Standard Policy Review Process
Item J.7 (26/27-1051) asks the board to “Waive the Second Reading” of new policies to streamline adoption. This fast-tracks policy changes, reducing the time for public scrutiny and comment before a final vote. This sets a dangerous precedent for pushing through more controversial policies in the future without adequate parental review.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and email the Board of Trustees. ‘We oppose waiving the second reading for any policy. Parents deserve the full, transparent process for every policy change. Vote NO on Item 26/27-1051.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Board Oversight

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |

District Hires Consultant for “Chronic Absenteeism” Tracking
Item J.40 (26/27-1087) is a $70,000 contract with Educational Consulting Services, Inc. for a “Truancy Notification Program.” The program focuses on “Chronic Absenteeism” and provides the district with a website for “tracking, monitoring, and data analysis.” This creates a surveillance system that can be used to justify more intrusive actions against families.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the Superintendent and Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link). ‘Regarding Item 26/27-1087, what specific data is being collected on students and families? What are the district’s policies on home visits related to this program?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $70,000.00
