District to Spend $146K on Student Data-Mining Platform
The board will vote on a $146,099.55 contract with LinkIt! to create a massive data warehouse on our students. The system is explicitly designed to expand the ‘Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS)’ program, which tracks and profiles students based on academic, behavioral, and other data.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a major student surveillance system. Email the Board (contact info on district website) and sign up to speak: ‘Vote NO on the LinkIt! contract, Item J.1.a. We do not consent to this level of data-mining and behavioral tracking of our children under the guise of MTSS.’
💰 Impact: $146,099.55 (Grant-Funded)

Student Data Sharing Agreement Hidden in Consent Agenda
Item K.1.b is a ‘Memorandum of Understanding’ that authorizes the district to share huge amounts of sensitive student data with the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office. This includes demographics, attendance, course completion, discipline records, and more, all approved without discussion in a bundled vote.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website) before the meeting: ‘I demand Consent Item K.1.b be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. Parents deserve to know exactly what student data is being shared and why.’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

New Policies May Redefine ‘Discrimination’ in Classrooms
The board is reviewing a bundle of revised policies (BP 0410, 1312.2, etc.) driven by new state laws. These changes introduce vague terms like ‘discriminatory bias’ and protect materials with ‘inclusive and diverse perspectives,’ which could be used to push ideology while making it harder for parents to challenge controversial content.
Recommended Action Plan
This is a FIRST READING. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item I.1.a, I oppose any policy that uses vague terms like ‘discriminatory bias’ to shut down debate or labels parental concerns as discrimination. Define all terms clearly and strengthen, not weaken, parental review rights before the second reading on October 13.’
💰 Impact: Erodes Parental Review Rights

District Discussing More EdTech and Screen Time
Under Item I.2.b, staff will present an update on ‘Learner-Centered Technology,’ including screen time and data collection via ‘Lightspeed Insight.’ This is a key moment for parents to question the academic value of these programs before more money is spent.
Recommended Action Plan
Speak at the meeting or email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item I.2.b, before expanding any EdTech, please publish the independent, non-vendor-funded evidence that these programs produce academic gains, and disclose the total daily screen time they add for students.’
💰 Impact: More Screen Time, Less Instruction

Win: Board Adopts Stricter Training Requirements for Itself
The board is set to approve Board Bylaw 9240, which requires its own members to receive training on school district finance, ethics, and their legal duties as mandated reporters for child abuse. This is a positive step toward greater accountability and responsible governance.
How to Lock It In
AMPLIFY THIS WIN: Show up or email the Board (contact info on district website) to thank them for approving Item K.3.c. ‘Thank you for strengthening board accountability by approving Bylaw 9240. This commitment to financial and ethical training is a model for other districts.’
✅ Why It Matters: Increased Board Accountability
