| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |

Board Rushing Vote, Bypassing Public Review
The Superintendent is asking the Board to “set aside normal protocol” and immediately adopt a revised policy for her own evaluation, skipping the standard 30-day public review period. This tactic prevents parents from reviewing the changes and raising concerns about how the district’s top employee is held accountable.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is an unacceptable violation of transparency. Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Vote NO on Item 8.2. The public demands the standard 30-day review for any change to the Superintendent’s evaluation policy. Do not set a precedent of secret, rushed policy-making.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Board Oversight

Board Rushing Second Policy Vote
For the second time in the same meeting, the administration is asking the Board to “set aside normal protocol” and immediately adopt a revised employee leave policy, again skipping the 30-day public review. While the policy content seems to be about benefits, the repeated use of this tactic to bypass public scrutiny is a major governance problem.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Vote NO on Item 8.3. The Board must not get in the habit of waiving the 30-day public review period. All non-emergency policy changes must follow the full, transparent process.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Bypassing Public Scrutiny

New ‘Personal Safety’ Curriculum Vendor
The board is voting to adopt a “Personal Safety Curriculum” from the Monique Burr Foundation. While framed as safety, these types of programs can be a Trojan horse for introducing sensitive Social Emotional Learning (SEL) or gender identity topics without adequate parental review.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask: ‘Regarding Item 8.1, will parents be given a full copy of the Monique Burr Foundation curriculum to review before the Board votes? We must be able to see what is being taught under the banner of ‘personal safety’.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed

Ideology Embedded in School Building Plans
A new policy for long-term facilities planning requires that school designs accommodate “socioemotional health” and be prioritized based on “equity in access.” This embeds subjective, ideological metrics into the concrete process of building and renovating schools, shifting focus and funds away from core academic infrastructure.
Recommended Action Plan
RAISE A RED FLAG: This policy is on the table for review. Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item 8.4, facilities planning should be based on objective needs like safety and capacity, not subjective concepts like ‘equity’ and ‘socioemotional health.’ Please remove this ideological language before the final vote.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Academics Replaced by Activism

| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The agenda includes a monthly report of all purchase orders over $2,000, but the document itself was not provided for review. These reports can be used to hide spending on controversial vendors or programs without a separate vote.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached to Item 5.2 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains spending on ideological vendors or programs.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed

DEI Litmus Test for Naming Schools
A proposed policy for naming schools and facilities now requires giving consideration to “historically underrepresented communities and identities.” This injects divisive identity politics into a process that should unite the community, potentially leading to schools being named based on political agendas rather than merit or local significance.
Recommended Action Plan
SPEAK UP: This policy is on the table for review. Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item 8.5, school names should honor individuals for their significant contributions, period. Adding criteria based on group identity is divisive and unnecessary. Please remove this language.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Divisive Identity Politics
