District Buys “SEL Curriculum” for Kindergarten
The vendor payment list includes a $1,051.12 purchase from Amazon for “K SEL Curriculum Materials.” This is a direct purchase of Social Emotional Learning (SEL) materials for the district’s youngest students, embedding psychological programming into the kindergarten classroom.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘I demand Item 5.A.(3) be pulled from the Consent Agenda. What specific “K SEL Curriculum Materials” were purchased from Amazon for $1,051.12 and why wasn’t this purchase presented for a separate public vote?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $1,051.12

Proposed “Code of Conduct” Could Muzzle Board Members
The Board is reviewing a “Code of Conduct” under item 7.C that could severely limit board members’ ability to represent parents. The code discourages members from making individual requests for information, speaking out on social media, or raising “surprises” at meetings, pressuring them to fall in line with the administration’s agenda rather than advocate for their constituents.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND INDEPENDENCE: Email the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘The proposed Code of Conduct in Item 7.C appears designed to silence dissent and limit your ability to represent us. We elected you to ask tough questions and be our voice, not to follow a “no surprises” rule for the administration.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Board Oversight

District Buys “Whole Child” Student Assessment Tool
The district is paying $1,485.00 to Teaching Strategies LLC for its “GOLD Online Assessment Portfolios.” This tool is used to assess young children on social-emotional and developmental metrics, not just academics, expanding the school’s role into tracking your child’s psychological development.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding the Teaching Strategies GOLD purchase in Item 5.A.(3), what specific social-emotional data is being collected on students and how can parents opt their children out of this non-academic assessment?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $1,485.00

District Renews Contract with SEL Vendor “Everyday Speech”
The district is paying $599.99 to Everyday Speech LLC for a “Team License.” Everyday Speech is a company that provides video-based Social Emotional Learning curriculum, replacing traditional instruction with behavioral and emotional programming.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Pull Item 5.A.(3) from the Consent Agenda. Parents deserve a public discussion before renewing a contract with an SEL vendor like Everyday Speech. What is the specific content of this program?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $599.99

Policy Limits Public Comment to 60 Minutes Total
Policy 2:230, up for a second reading, formally caps the public comment period at 60 minutes total for each meeting. It also limits individual speakers to three minutes, which the Board President can shorten further, a move that can be used to silence parent voices on controversial topics.
Recommended Action Plan
DEFEND YOUR VOICE: Email the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Vote NO on adopting Policy 2:230 as written. Do not place arbitrary time limits on the public’s right to be heard. We are your employers, not an inconvenience.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Parent Voice

Superintendent Confirms SEL Push in Elementary Schools
The Superintendent’s report explicitly states that elementary schools are focusing on “Social/Emotional Learning” and using the “CHAMPS/MAC framework” to manage student behavior. The report confirms SEL will be a key topic at upcoming Curriculum Nights, cementing its central role in the district’s instructional plan.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK CURRICULUM NIGHT: Show up to the Curriculum Nights on Aug 25th & 27th. Ask your principal: ‘What specific SEL curriculum is being used? How much academic time is being lost to this? And what is the opt-out process for parents who want their children focused on reading and math?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Replacing Academics

District Spends $14k on “Inquiry-Based” Curriculum
The district is paying $14,159 to InquirED LLC for a social studies curriculum subscription. “Inquiry-based” learning often de-emphasizes factual knowledge and history, instead guiding students toward predetermined conclusions on social and political topics.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding the $14,159 InquirED purchase in Item 5.A.(3), please provide a public presentation of this social studies curriculum so parents can verify it is focused on history and civics, not activism.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $14,159.00

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The agenda lists a discussion on “Areas of Focus” for the district for the school year, but the attached file is only a cover sheet with no details. This title could conceal plans for new ideological initiatives like DEI or SEL programs that the administration does not want to publicize.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached to Item 7.A in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes. If the details are presented at the meeting, we need moms there to report back.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Initiatives
