Approval of Federal Title I Plan Without Public Review
Under Item 7.B, the board is set to approve the 2026-27 Title I District Plan. Federal Title I funds often come with ideological strings attached, such as requirements for specific DEI or SEL programs, but the plan itself was not attached to the agenda for public review.
Recommended Action Plan
Email Superintendent Scott Goggin at goggin@wlake.org: ‘Please make the full 2026-27 Title I District Plan for Item 7.B publicly available for review before the Board votes. Parents have a right to know what strings are attached to federal funds.’

District to Eliminate Policy on Recording Meetings
Under Item 10.A, the board plans to rescind Policy 2461, “Recording of District Meetings Involving Students and or Parents.” Removing a policy that governs recordings reduces transparency and accountability for what is said and decided in official meetings.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: Sign up for public comment on Item 10.A. Ask the board: ‘Why are you rescinding the policy on recording meetings with parents and students? This is a step backward for transparency and accountability. Vote NO on rescinding Policy 2461.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Board Transparency

Recommended Action Plan
Email Superintendent Scott Goggin at goggin@wlake.org: ‘Regarding the PO for Navigate360 in Item 6.A, what specific student behaviors does this software track, who has access to this data, and is there an opt-out for parents? Please provide this information before the vote.’
💰 Impact: $3,675

The district is paying $3,835.33 to “WrapAround Experts LLC” for an “Intervention Specialist” in Item 6.A. “Wraparound” services are often a pipeline for collecting sensitive, non-academic data on students and families under the guise of support.
Recommended Action Plan
Email Superintendent Scott Goggin at goggin@wlake.org: ‘Regarding the PO for WrapAround Experts LLC in Item 6.A, what specific data is collected on students and families by this Intervention Specialist, and what are the parental consent and opt-out procedures?’
