District Hires Ideological Consultants for SEL and DEI
The board is set to approve contracts with the ‘Yale Center of Emotional Intelligence’ for ‘school climate’ data-mining and ‘Trajectory of Hope, LLC’ for ‘$12,000’ of ‘culturally affirming’ DEI training for social workers. These are backdoor channels for implementing Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and Critical Race Theory-based practices that replace academics with social engineering.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a critical threat. Email the Board of Trustees (verify contact info on the district website): ‘Vote NO on the ideological consultant contracts with Yale and Trajectory of Hope in Item 10.22. We do not consent to psychological data mining or divisive DEI training in our schools.’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Privacy & $12,000

District Creates School-Based Medical Billing System
The district is creating agreements with the state (DHCS) and a third-party biller (The Navis Group) to provide and bill for student ‘behavioral health services.’ This establishes a system for schools to provide mental health interventions, potentially without full parental knowledge, and creates a data-sharing pipeline with state health agencies.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND A PARENTAL CONSENT GUARANTEE: Email the Board of Trustees (verify contact info on the district website): ‘Before approving the DHCS and Navis Group contracts in Item 10.22, the Board must pass a binding resolution guaranteeing NO behavioral health service will be provided or billed without explicit, written parental consent for that specific service.’
💰 Impact: Bypassing Parental Consent

District Hides $11M in Spending on Consent Agenda
The board is set to approve over $11 million in purchase orders with a single vote and no discussion under Item 8.6. Buried in this massive list are payments to ideological consultants like ‘Trajectory of Hope’ ($21,500) and vague contracts for ‘mental health’ consultation with out-of-state government agencies.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Trustees (verify contact info on the district website): ‘I demand Consent Item 8.6 be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. Parents deserve to know exactly where this $11 million is going before you approve it.’
💰 Impact: $11,092,329.73

District Caps Public Comment on Controversial Topics
The board’s rules, referenced in Item 5.2, limit total public comment to just 20 minutes per topic. This means if more than seven parents sign up to speak on a single important issue, some may be silenced before they get their turn.
Recommended Action Plan
CHALLENGE THE RULES: Email the Board of Trustees (verify contact info on the district website): ‘I demand the Board remove the 20-minute-per-topic limit on public comment in Bylaw 9323. Parents will not be silenced on issues critical to our children’s well-being.’
💰 Impact: Silencing Parental Voice

Vague ‘Civil Rights’ Policies Up for Final Vote
The Board is scheduled for a final vote on three ‘Civil and Legal Rights’ policies (BP 4119.1, 4219.1, 4319.1). The district has not provided the text for two of these policies in the public agenda packet, leaving parents in the dark about what rights are being created or changed for school staff.
Recommended Action Plan
DELAY THE VOTE: Email the Board of Trustees (verify contact info on the district website): ‘Do not vote on Items 10.5, 10.7, and 10.9. The full text of policies 4119.1 and 4219.1 was not included in the agenda. Parents demand the right to review these policies before you vote.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Policy Language

District Presentation Focuses on ‘Equity’
The Superintendent will be presenting on the ‘State of the District,’ with a specific focus on ‘District Drivers & Equity’ (Item 2.1). This often signals a shift away from academic achievement towards a focus on equal outcomes, which can lead to controversial policies and curriculum changes.
Recommended Action Plan
ATTEND & RECORD: Attend the meeting to hear what the Superintendent means by ‘Equity.’ Record the presentation under Item 2.1 to understand the district’s ideological direction and be prepared for future policy proposals.
💰 Impact: Focus on Ideology, Not Academics

‘Social Emotional Learning’ Added to Campus Security Rules
The district is adopting a new campus security regulation (AR 3515) that states the plan should foster ‘social and emotional learning.’ School security should be about keeping kids physically safe, not about implementing psychological programming or SEL.
Recommended Action Plan
KEEP POLICY FOCUSED: Email the Board of Trustees (verify contact info on the district website): ‘Regarding Item 10.11, please amend AR 3515 to remove the phrase ‘fosters social and emotional learning.’ Campus security policy should focus on physical safety, not ideological programs.’
💰 Impact: Ideological Scope Creep

District Pays Teachers Extra for ‘Purposeful Play’ Training
The district is paying Transitional Kindergarten teachers an extra $57/hour to implement ‘Purposeful Play’ professional development. Parents need to ask if this play-based model is replacing foundational academic skills like phonics and basic math.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK FOR THE DATA: Email the Board of Trustees (verify contact info on the district website): ‘Regarding Item 8.8, what specific academic instruction is being replaced by ‘Purposeful Play’? Please provide the data showing this method is superior to traditional instruction for preparing students for Kindergarten.’
💰 Impact: De-emphasis on Academics
