Request for Proposal for K-6 ELA Curriculum
📅 September 29, 2026
The district is initiating the procurement process for a new K-6 English Language Arts curriculum under Action Item 8.01. This action creates potential exposure through the selection of a vendor whose materials may contain ideologically-driven content, compel student speech, or lack transparency for parental review.
Intake Action

RECORDS REQUEST: Submit a public records request for the full ‘Request for Proposal 27-14-31’ under Action Item 8.01 and any responsive bids as they are received. Monitor for the selection of a vendor and the subsequent curriculum adoption vote.

MONITOR (LEVEL 5)

Second Read and Adoption of Visitor Policy
📅 September 29, 2026
The board is scheduled to adopt Policy 3-203, a revised visitor policy, via the consent agenda. The specific language is not available, but such policies can create legal exposure by restricting parental access to school grounds or classrooms, implicating fundamental parental rights to direct their children’s education.
Intake Action

PULL THE DOCUMENT: Retrieve the referenced attachment ‘Second Read Adoption Policy 3-203 .pdf’ for Consent Agenda Item 7.09 from the official agenda link before the vote. Confirm the operative language regarding parental access and grounds for exclusion.
