| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |

Ideological Policies Hidden in ‘Routine’ Consent Vote
The Consent Agenda (Item X) bundles several high-risk items for a single vote, bypassing public discussion. These include the 2026-27 Student Handbook, which commits the district to ‘social-emotional development’ and frames PBIS as a tool for ‘mental health,’ and a vague item for ‘Second Reading Board Policy Updates’ with no policies attached for review. This tactic rushes ideological changes past parents under the guise of routine business.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘I demand the following items be pulled from the Consent Agenda (Item X) for separate discussion and roll-call votes: the Student Handbook, the Staff Handbook, and the Second Reading of Board Policy Updates. Parents deserve to hear the Board debate these policies publicly before a vote.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Board Oversight

Superintendent’s Job Tied to Student Surveillance Systems
The Board is voting to approve the Superintendent’s goals for the year under item IX.C.1. These goals explicitly require the ‘executive oversight of MTSS implementation’ and ‘addressing chronic absenteeism,’ embedding these systems into the Superintendent’s performance evaluation. These frameworks are often used to advance Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and increase data collection on students and families, sometimes without specific parental consent for each intervention.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Regarding Item IX.C.1, the Superintendent’s goals should focus on academic excellence, not implementing surveillance systems like MTSS. Tie the Superintendent’s evaluation to measurable academic outcomes, not ideological programs.’

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |

District-Controlled ‘Homeschooling’ with Strings Attached
Under item IX.A.1, the district is re-instituting a long-term Independent Study program as an alternative to a full homeschool program. This is not true homeschooling; it’s a district-run program that includes mandatory ‘synchronous instruction’ and ‘tiered reengagement strategies’ for students who don’t participate enough, keeping them under district surveillance and control. A key Memorandum of Understanding with the teachers union that likely details the program is referenced but not provided.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Regarding Item IX.A.1, please make the MOU with the Lakes Teachers Association public before any vote. Parents need to understand the full scope of the district’s control and intervention strategies in this Independent Study program.’
💰 Impact: Loss of Parental Autonomy

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Key Ideological Role Approved Without Public Contract
The agenda includes an action item for a ‘Director of Student Services Contract’ (Item IX.D.1), a role often central to implementing SEL and student support programs. However, the contract itself is not provided for public review, preventing parents from seeing the job duties and compensation for this influential position before it is approved.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘I demand Item IX.D.1 be tabled until the full contract for the Director of Student Services is made public. Parents have a right to review the terms for this critical position before it is approved.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed
