| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |
|
District Admits Using ‘Second Step’ SEL Curriculum in Elementary
A report from South Prairie Elementary (Attachment 23) confirms the district is using the ‘Second Step’ curriculum to teach ‘social-emotional and behavioral health skills.’ This is a well-known, explicit Social Emotional Learning program that replaces academic time with psychological programming.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is not a drill. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Under Item 10.a, the South Prairie report confirms the use of Second Step SEL. We demand the district immediately cease all SEL programming and return to academic instruction. Vote NO on any budget that funds it.’
💰 Impact: Classroom Social Engineering

District Admits School-Based ‘Virtual Therapy’ Partnership
The Student Services report (Attachment 11) reveals partnerships with ‘Classroom Clinic’ for ‘virtual therapy sessions’ and ‘EFR’ for ‘on-site counselors’ in multiple schools. These programs create a pathway for mental health interventions at school, potentially without full parental consent or presence for every session.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the Student Services report, what are the exact parental consent and notification policies for the Classroom Clinic and EFR partnerships? Parents must be the sole arbiters of their child’s mental health care.’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

District Pushing ‘SchooLinks’ Software on All 6-12th Graders
The district is rolling out the SchooLinks ‘college and career readiness’ platform to all students in grades 6-12 (Item 10.e.iv). This significant expansion of student screen time is being implemented without public evidence that it improves academic outcomes.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND PROOF: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Before the full implementation of SchooLinks, please publish independent, non-vendor-funded evidence of its academic effectiveness and the total daily screen time it adds. Our children’s instructional time is not for beta-testing unproven software.’
💰 Impact: Increased Screen Time

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
District Implementing ‘MTSS’ Student Behavior Tracking System
Multiple school reports (Attachments 16, 19, 20) confirm the district-wide use of Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS/MTSS-B). This is a data-intensive framework for monitoring and modifying student behavior, creating a permanent record of subjective observations.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the MTSS framework mentioned in school reports, what is the parental notification and opt-out process for this behavioral data collection? We do not consent to our children being subjects in a behavioral tracking system.’
💰 Impact: Student Behavior Dossier
|
| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Counselors Aligning with Activist ASCA National Model
The Student Services report (Attachment 11) states the counseling program is aligning with the ASCA National Model and the ’21st Century Skills Curriculum.’ ASCA is known for promoting SEL and other ideologies, shifting the focus of school counseling from academic guidance to social engineering.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the ASCA model alignment in the Student Services report, will the Board commit to ensuring our counseling program remains focused on academic and career guidance, not subjective social-emotional programming?’
💰 Impact: Ideological Counseling
|
| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required for New Tech Policy
The board is holding a first reading of Policy 605.04, ‘Technology and Instructional Materials’ (Item 12.a). This is a critical policy that governs what technology and content reach our kids, but the text of the proposed policy has not been made public with the agenda.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached for Item 12.a in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether Policy 605.04 contains sensitive changes to curriculum review or technology use. This policy must be transparent.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Policy Text
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 3) |
|
Vague ‘Passport to Culture’ Program on Consent Agenda
Item 8.d on the consent agenda is a $4,206 agreement for a ‘Passport to Culture’ program. The title is a potential euphemism for ‘Global Citizenship’ curriculum, and the attachment explaining the program was not included in the agenda packet.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘Passport to Culture Agreement 26-27’ attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains ideological content. Email the Board to pull Item 8.d from consent for public discussion.
💰 Impact: $4,206
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 2) |
|
English Learner Plan Includes ‘Social-Emotional’ Language
The annual review of the Lau Plan for English Learners (Item 8.f) includes language about meeting students’ ‘social and emotional needs’ and promoting ‘cross-cultural efficacy.’ While the plan’s goal is language acquisition, this wording can be a foothold for introducing broader SEL concepts.
Recommended Action Plan
MONITOR: Track this plan for future scope creep. No immediate action required, but be aware of the language being normalized.
💰 Impact: Ideological Creep

| Major Win (LEVEL 9) |

Board to Rescind ‘Multicultural/Gender Fair Education’ Policy
The Board is voting to completely remove policy regulation 603.04-R(1), titled ‘Multicultural/Gendar Fair Education.’ This is a significant victory, rolling back a policy that opens the door to ideological curriculum.
How to Lock It In
SECURE THE WIN: Show up to thank the Board for removing this policy. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Thank you for voting YES on Item 12.a to rescind the Multicultural/Gender Fair Education policy. Please continue to prioritize academic excellence over ideology.’
✅ Why It Matters: Restoring Academic Focus
