| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
District Renews “Second Step” SEL Program
The district is renewing its contract with “Committee for Children” for the “Second Step” Social Emotional Learning (SEL) program at six schools. This program replaces academic time with lessons on managing emotions and social skills, which can be a vehicle for ideological content.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: This was approved in July and is being finalized by approving the minutes. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘We demand to see the full “Second Step” curriculum before the school year begins. What is the parental opt-out process for this Social Emotional Learning program?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $15,360 (Grant Funded)

Board Waives Rules to Fast-Track Unknown Policies
In the July meeting minutes being approved, the board voted to suspend its own bylaw requiring two public readings for new policies. This shortcut was used to immediately adopt “Policy and Regulation 5516” and “Policy 8662” with only one reading, limiting public review and debate.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: This procedural shortcut happened in July. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘What was the emergency that required suspending Bylaw 0131 to rush Policies 5516 and 8662? We demand the full text of these policies be posted publicly immediately.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Public Oversight
|
| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The board is set to approve 23 separate financial items in a single consent vote under agenda item B.2, “Finance.” The 13MB supporting document (B1 Finance.pdf) detailing these items was not provided in this briefing, preventing any public review of vendors or contracts.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘August 26, 2026 – B1 Finance.pdf’ attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes or contracts with ideological vendors.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Spending

| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
District Org Chart Confirms “Social Emotional Services” Director
The district’s official 2026-2027 organization chart includes a “Director of School Counseling and Social Emotional Services.” This confirms that SEL is not just a curriculum but a permanent, high-level administrative focus, embedding it into the district’s structure.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Email the Superintendent (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the Director of Social Emotional Services, what are the specific duties of this role, what is its budget, and how do you measure its success academically?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Ideology
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
District Plan Uses “Tiered Intervention” Language
The district’s official Improvement Plan for 2026-27 repeatedly refers to using “Tier 1 and Tier 2 instruction.” This is language from the Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) framework, which can be used to collect non-academic data on students for behavioral and social-emotional interventions.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the Superintendent (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the District Improvement Plan, what specific non-academic data points are used to place students in Tier 1 or Tier 2 interventions? Please provide the parental notification and opt-out forms for this data collection.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Student Data Collection
