District Pushing New ‘Math for ALL’ Curriculum
The district is moving forward with piloting a new math curriculum based on California’s controversial new framework. The presentation for Item VIII.b uses buzzwords like ‘Inquiry Based’ and ‘Math for ALL,’ which often signal a shift away from proven, step-by-step instruction and memorization of math facts toward confusing, less effective methods.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND PROOF: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item VIII.b, before any math pilot begins, parents demand to see all pilot materials and a public commitment that student performance will be measured by objective standards, not subjective ‘inquiry’ metrics. We need math that works.’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Math Skills

District to Cut $4 Million, Academic Programs at Risk
The district is beginning the process to cut $4 million from the 2027-28 budget. It is critical for parents to engage in this process to ensure that core academics like reading, writing, and math are protected, and that cuts are made to administrative bloat or non-academic ideological programs first.
Recommended Action Plan
ENGAGE & PROTECT: Review the proposed timeline in Item VIII.a. Plan to attend the Community Budget Presentation in the week of November 9th. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘As you begin the budget reduction process, we expect you to prioritize classroom instruction and academic achievement above all else.’
💰 Impact: Core Academic Funding

Public Hearing on All District Textbooks
Item VIII.c is a public hearing and resolution to approve the district’s instructional materials. The attached resolution contains a complete list of every textbook used in every subject, from K-12. This is a critical opportunity for parents to review the materials their children are being taught from and to challenge any that are biased or not academically rigorous.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE HEARING: Show up for the Public Hearing on Item VIII.c. Review the textbook list in the attachment for Resolution 08-27 and speak up about any materials you find concerning. This is our chance to have a direct say on the curriculum.
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Curriculum

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |

Board Seeks to Control Meeting Atmosphere
The Board’s public comment rules state they may ‘limit applause’ except for pre-approved celebrations. This is a tactic to control the room’s energy, making it harder for parents to show support for speakers who are challenging the board and easier for the board to ignore public sentiment.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND RESPECT: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item VI, the rule to limit applause is an attempt to silence residents. We expect the Board to welcome, not manage, public sentiment. We will not be silenced.’
💰 Impact: Suppressed Parental Voice

District Accepts $40,000 for ‘Civic Engagement’ Journalism
The district is accepting a $40,000 donation from an unknown group called ‘Davis Community Network’ to fund ‘student journalism, civic engagement and local govt. learning.’ These programs can be used to promote political activism and biased viewpoints to students under the guise of ‘journalism.’
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND VETTING: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Consent Item VII.k, who is the Davis Community Network? Before accepting $40,000, the Board must provide a detailed curriculum and list of partner organizations associated with this ‘civic engagement’ program for public review.’
💰 Impact: $40,000 (Strings Attached?)

Vague Contracts for Vulnerable Student Programs
Under Consent Item VII.m, the board is approving multiple agreements with the Yolo County Office of Education for conferences on ‘Child Welfare,’ ‘Foster Youth,’ and ‘Homeless Children.’ The attachments detailing these programs are missing, hiding what training and ideologies staff will be bringing back to our most vulnerable students.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Pull Item VII.m from the Consent Agenda. The MOUs with Yolo COE for at-risk youth conferences are not attached. Parents have a right to review the content of these programs before they are approved.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Training
