District Formalizing Student “Threat Assessment Teams” in Every School
Item 9.16 approves the creation of “Threat Assessment Teams” for every school in the district. These teams, composed of administrators, social workers, and counselors, are tasked with monitoring students, creating a surveillance system that could target children for their speech or beliefs without parental knowledge.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and email the Board. ‘Regarding Consent Item 9.16, what specific behaviors define a ‘threat’? We demand that the Board publish the full training materials and protocols for these Threat Assessment Teams before they are approved.’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

District Spending on SEL and Mental Health Training for Teachers
Multiple agenda items fund training for staff on topics like “Youth Mental Health First Aid,” “Emotional Regulation,” “Character Building,” and student anxiety (Items 9.4, 9.5, 13.6). This is a coordinated effort to embed social-emotional ideology into the classroom, training teachers to act as therapists and focus on subjective emotional issues rather than academics.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and email the Board. ‘Pull items 9.4, 9.5, and 13.6 from the consent agenda for a full discussion. Parents deserve to know how much time and money is being diverted from academics to psychological programming for teachers.’
💰 Impact: Focus on Academics

Board to Approve Undisclosed Preschool Handbook
Under item 9.13, the board is voting to approve the 2026-2027 Preschool Parent/Student Handbook, but the document itself is not included in the public agenda. This handbook contains critical policies on parental rights, discipline, and student privacy, which are being passed without any opportunity for parents to review them first.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes. If it is missing, email the Board: ‘Vote NO on Item 9.13 until the full Preschool Handbook is posted publicly for at least 48 hours for parental review.’
💰 Impact: Hidden Policy Changes

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
District Approving “Data Team Personnel”
Item 7.25 approves personnel for a “Data Team.” These teams are created to collect and analyze student data, often for use in programs like Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) that can lead to interventions and labeling without full parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and email the Board: ‘Regarding Item 7.25, what specific student data will this team be collecting, and for what purpose? Please provide the specific parental opt-out form for this data collection before the vote.’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Data

| ALERT (LEVEL 3) |
|
Taxpayer-Funded “Multicultural Counseling” Program
Item 7.23 approves a $3,000 stipend for “Multicultural Counseling” at the middle school, funded by federal ESEA Title I money. This vague title is often a euphemism for programs based on divisive concepts and identity politics.
Recommended Action Plan
Monitor: Email the Board to ask for the curriculum and goals associated with the ‘Multicultural Counseling’ program under Item 7.23. Track for future scope creep.
💰 Impact: $3,000 (Federal Strings Attached)
