Board Bylaw Limits Parent Voice on Hot Topics
The agenda states that the Board President can limit public comment on any single topic to a total of 20 minutes, per Board Bylaw 9323. This rule can be used to shut down a large group of concerned parents who all want to speak on a controversial issue.
Recommended Action Plan
DEFEND YOUR VOICE: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Board Bylaw 9323, referenced in Item 9, allows you to silence parents. We demand that you suspend the 20-minute time limit for any topic with significant public interest, such as the curriculum adoption in Item 10.3.1.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Public Oversight

Superintendent Contract Shields Board from Parents
The proposed Superintendent contract requires board members to “promptly refer all criticisms, complaints and suggestions” directly to the Superintendent. This creates a system where the person being complained about controls the information flow, preventing parents from holding the board directly accountable.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item 10.1.1, I oppose Section 2.D of the Superintendent’s contract. The Board works for us, and parents must have a direct line of communication and accountability with their elected officials.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Lack of Board Accountability

Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Resolution #R27-03 in Item 10.3.1, what are the parental opt-out rights for the data collection components of iReady Math? Parents must be able to protect their children’s privacy.’

District to Spend $40k on Social Media Marketing
The district plans to approve a $40,582.95 contract with “GradComm” for a 10-month social media marketing campaign for the Adult School. This is a significant expense for online advertising that could be better spent in the classroom.
Recommended Action Plan
QUESTION SPENDING: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item 11.9, please justify spending over $40,000 on a social media marketing contract. How does this directly benefit K-12 student academic achievement?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $40,582.95

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The board is approving all recent hires, transfers, and separations in a single vote without discussion. The report listing these actions was not included, preventing public oversight of new hires, such as DEI or SEL-focused positions.

INVESTIGATE: Open the file for Item 11.2 attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains any new administrative or specialist roles focused on non-academic initiatives.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Hires

| ALERT (LEVEL 3) |

District Using AI to “Reduce Bias” in Minutes
The district is now using Artificial Intelligence to prepare official board meeting minutes, claiming it helps “reduce unintentional bias.” This is concerning, as AI systems can have their own programmed biases and this process lacks transparency.
Recommended Action Plan
MONITOR: Track this new process. Who is liable if the AI misrepresents the public record? No immediate action required, but be aware of this shift away from human accountability.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Lack of Transparency
