| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
New ‘Coordinator of Culture and Climate’ Position
The district is creating a new management position under Item XII.C.iii dedicated to implementing “diversity, equity, inclusion, belonging, restorative practices, and social-emotional learning.” This taxpayer-funded role is designed to push ideological programs into every school under the guise of “positive school culture” and “Whole Child initiatives,” taking focus and resources away from core academics.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is the second and likely final reading for this position. Email the Board of Education (contact info on the district website) and sign up for public comment for Item XII.C.iii: ‘Do not approve the ‘Coordinator of Culture and Climate’ job description. We need a focus on academics, not taxpayer-funded ideological activism.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Activism

New ‘Lead Counselor’ to Push SEL District-Wide
Under Item XII.C.iv, the district is creating a “Counselor on Special Assignment” to align all school counseling with the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) National Model. This model is a primary vehicle for embedding Social-Emotional Learning (SEL), restorative practices, and other therapeutic methods into the school day, shifting the focus from academic guidance to emotional engineering.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY: This is the second reading for a new lead counselor role. Email the Board of Education (contact info on the district website) regarding Item XII.C.iv: ‘Parents want school counselors to focus on academic guidance and career readiness, not district-wide Social-Emotional Learning. Vote NO on the Counselor on Special Assignment job description.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Academics Replaced by Therapy

| Major Win (LEVEL 7) |

District Responding to Parents on Screen Time
Following feedback from parents and teachers, the district is actively working to reduce student screen time and establish “clearer digital boundaries.” They have already given TK-2nd grade classrooms the option to keep devices at school, a great first step in protecting our youngest learners and returning focus to traditional instruction.
How to Lock It In
AMPLIFY THIS WIN: Show up or email the Board (contact info on the district website) to thank them for their work on Item XI.B. Publicly praise their responsiveness to parent concerns on screen time. This encourages them to listen on other issues and sets a precedent for neighboring districts.
✅ Why It Matters: Parental Victory
