District to Share Student PII with AI Research Firm
Under Action Item 4.a, the district plans to approve a research study with WestEd that will use an “AI conversational tutor” on 6th and 7th grade math students. This agreement authorizes sharing extensive student personal data—including name, ID number, race, sex, and IEP status—with the research firm under an “opt-out” model, meaning your child’s data is shared unless you actively refuse.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND OPT-IN CONSENT: Email the Board of Directors and Superintendent before the meeting. ‘Regarding Item 4.a, student privacy requires an ‘opt-in’ model for third-party research, not ‘opt-out.’ Do not approve this data-sharing agreement until it is changed to require active, written parental permission.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The board is voting to approve the teacher and support staff handbooks for the year under items 4.e and 4.f. These documents often contain critical policies on student discipline, gender identity, and staff conduct, but the handbooks themselves were not attached for public review.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) for Items 4.e and 4.f to confirm whether they contain sensitive policy changes regarding parental rights, gender identity, or student discipline. If they do, demand the Board table the vote for public review.

Board to Discuss State Legislative Lobbying Priorities
Under Item 5.a, the Board will discuss its lobbying priorities for the upcoming legislative session. The list of potential topics includes “Brain/mental health services for students,” which is often a pathway for school-based clinics and services that operate without parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
MONITOR & PREPARE: Pay close attention to the discussion on Item 5.a. If the board moves toward lobbying for expanded school-based ‘mental health services,’ be prepared to demand any resulting programs have ironclad parental notification and consent requirements.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
Under Item 4.d, the board is appointing members to the state-mandated School Improvement Advisory Committee. The list of proposed members was not included in the agenda packet, preventing public review of who will be advising on school improvement.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The list of appointees for the School Improvement Advisory Committee was not attached. Email the Board and ask for the list of names to be read aloud and made public before the vote on Item 4.d.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Committee Members

| Major Win (LEVEL 9) |

District Proposes Removing “Gender Identity” from Policy
In a significant move under Item 4.g, the district is proposing to remove the terms “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” from its Equal Educational Opportunity policy, complaint forms, and grievance procedures. This is a positive step toward refocusing on established civil rights protections and away from ideological categories.
How to Lock It In
PACK THE ROOM TO SUPPORT THIS: Show up to thank the Board for this common-sense change in Item 4.g. Publicly supporting this vote makes it harder for activists to pressure them to reverse it later. This is a model policy for other districts.
✅ Why It Matters: Restoring Common Sense
