Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Esparto Unified. We found 6 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Vague Contracts Hidden on Consent Agenda
The board is voting to approve a bundle of outside contracts without disclosing the vendors or the cost. This tactic can be used to sneak controversial consultants or curriculum providers past public scrutiny.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website) and demand Item VIII.G be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. Parents deserve to know who the district is hiring with our tax dollars before the contract is approved.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Student Data Sharing Agreement with University System
The district is approving an agreement to share high school student data with the California State University (CSU) system. While an ‘opt-out’ is mentioned, these agreements often make opting out difficult and default to sharing your child’s private educational records.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The agreement text is not attached (Item IX.B). Email the Board: ‘What specific student data points will be shared with CSU under this agreement, and what is the exact, proactive process for a parent to opt their child out? Provide the opt-out form before this vote.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Changes to Curriculum and Student Handbooks Undisclosed
The board is reviewing changes to the High School Curriculum handbook and student handbooks for both Middle and High School. The actual documents showing the changes were not included in the agenda, preventing parental review before the meeting.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Parents have a right to review curriculum. Post the red-lined versions of the handbooks and curriculum changes for Item XI.E online immediately so we can see what you are changing.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Hidden Policy Changes

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
District Praised for ‘PBIS’ Behavior Program
The district is celebrating recognition for implementing PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports). This is a school-wide behavior modification system, closely related to SEL, that can involve collecting data on students’ social and emotional behaviors.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Email the Board: ‘Regarding the PBIS recognition (Item XI.C), what specific behaviors are being tracked, who has access to this data, and can parents opt their children out of this data collection system?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Student Behavior Tracking

| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Vague ‘Community Engagement Initiative’ Report
The board is reviewing a report on its ‘Community Engagement Initiative,’ which aims to facilitate ‘difficult conversations’ and ‘inclusive practices.’ This language is often a cover for DEI-focused activism and managing public opinion rather than responding to it.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The report for Item XI.D is not attached. Ask the district to provide the ‘Year in Review’ report. We need to see what this initiative has actually been doing and who is running it.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Activism
|
| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Funding for ‘Expanded Learning’ After-School Programs
The district is approving its ‘Expanded Learning Opportunities Program Plan’ for after-school and summer programs. These programs are often used to introduce SEL, ‘whole child,’ and other ideological concepts outside of the regular academic day.
Recommended Action Plan
REQUEST THE PLAN: The plan for Item X.C was not attached to the agenda. Email the Superintendent’s office: ‘Please provide the full Expanded Learning Opportunities Program Plan for public review before the board votes on it.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Hidden SEL Curriculum
