New Library Book Purchases Hidden on Consent Agenda
The board plans to approve a new purchase of library books as part of the bundled “Consent Agenda,” preventing individual discussion. Without a public list of the books being purchased, there is no way for parents to ensure the content is age-appropriate and educationally sound.
Response
DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Email the Board of Trustees: ‘I demand Consent Item X.C, the new library book purchase, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for separate discussion and a roll-call vote. Please provide the full list of books for public review before any taxpayer money is spent.’
💰 Impact: Inappropriate Content for Students

“Soft Skills” Pilot Program May Hide SEL Content
The district is presenting a pilot program for “Soft Skills.” While these programs can be beneficial, they are often used to introduce Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) concepts that may not align with parental values.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: This is a report item (II.D.2), not a vote, but it’s the first step. Email the Board: ‘Before the “EMS 11” Soft Skills pilot program moves forward, please provide the full curriculum and any vendor materials for public review. Parents have a right to know what is being taught.’
💰 Impact: Politicized Classroom Content
