|
District Paying $665k for ‘Belonging and Empowerment’ Initiative
The board is ratifying a $665,727 contract with WishWell LLC to implement a ‘comprehensive, whole-school belonging and empowerment initiative.’ These are well-known euphemisms for Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and DEI programs that often replace core academics with social engineering and identity politics.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board at board@sandi.net: ‘Item I.11.14 for $665,727 to WishWell LLC must be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a full public discussion. What specific curriculum and training materials will this vendor use to promote ‘belonging and empowerment’?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $665,727

District Approving Ideological ‘Facing History & Ourselves’ Curriculum
The district is ratifying an agreement with ‘Facing History & Ourselves’ (FHAO), a vendor known for promoting ideological curricula rooted in critical theory. The district’s own description admits the program’s goal is to foster ‘social-emotional and civic learning,’ signaling a focus on activism over academics.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: Email the Board at board@sandi.net: ‘Vote NO on Item I.38. Facing History & Ourselves is a divisive, ideological program that has no place in our schools. We need history, not activism.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Replacing Academics

District Spends $495k on AI Platform for Students and Teachers
The board is ratifying a $495,410 contract with Magic School, Inc. for an ‘AI educator productivity platform’ for both teachers and students. This raises urgent questions about student data privacy, what information the AI will collect, who owns it, and what biases are programmed into the system.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the Board at board@sandi.net: ‘Regarding Item I.11.18, what are the specific data privacy protections for students using the Magic School AI? Parents need to see the terms of service and have a clear opt-out before this is approved.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $495,410

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Board to Lobby for State Climate Change Legislation
The board is voting on a resolution to officially support the ‘California Climate Superfund Act’ and will use district resources to send letters of support to state and federal politicians. This diverts the board’s focus from academics to partisan political lobbying on issues outside the scope of K-12 education.
Recommended Action Plan
Email the Board at board@sandi.net: ‘Item C.2 is political activism, not education. I demand the board focus on improving test scores and student safety, not lobbying Sacramento with our district’s name and resources. Vote NO on this resolution.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying

Gates Foundation Grant Pushes Outside Consultants on Math Curriculum
The district is accepting a $150,000 grant from the Gates Foundation, administered by WestEd, to change math instruction. The project involves bringing in an outside ‘technical assistance provider’ (TNTP) to build ‘coherent systems’ and use AI tools, which could lead to a top-down overhaul of the math curriculum with an equity-focused agenda.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board at board@sandi.net: ‘Regarding Item I.39, parents are concerned about the strings attached to Gates Foundation money. We need assurance that outside consultants from WestEd and TNTP will not be used to push ideological agendas into our children’s math classes.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $150,000 (Strings Attached)

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |

Vague $120k Contract for ‘Policy Review’ on Student Tech Use
The district is approving a $120,000 contract with ‘Children and Screens: Institute of Digital Media and Child Development’ for services including ‘policy review’ and ‘implementation assistance’ for technology use. This is a vague contract that gives an outside group influence over district policy without clear oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Email Deputy Superintendent Nicole DeWitt at ndewitt@sandi.net: ‘Regarding Item I.1, who is the vendor ‘Children and Screens’? Please provide a list of their previous policy recommendations in other districts before this $120,000 contract is approved.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $120,000

New ‘Chronic Absenteeism’ Goal May Increase Student Surveillance
Under the Superintendent’s evaluation, the board is approving a revised ‘Interim Wellness Goal’ focused on ‘Chronic Absenteeism.’ While attendance is important, these programs often serve as a gateway for intrusive data collection on students and families without clear parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
Email the Board at board@sandi.net: ‘Regarding Item G.1, what specific metrics are in the revised Chronic Absenteeism goal? Parents must be able to review the attached document and understand how student and family data will be collected and used before you approve this.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Privacy
