Undisclosed ‘Child Abuse Prevention’ Lessons for All Grades
The district is presenting new lessons on child abuse prevention, as required by state law (Senate Bill 9), for both elementary and secondary students under agenda item 5.G. The specific curriculum and materials being used are not attached to the agenda, preventing parents from reviewing the sensitive content before it is discussed by the committee.
Response
INVESTIGATE: Demand the district post the proposed ‘Senate Bill 9 Lessons’ for Item 5.G publicly before the SHAC meeting. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask: ‘What curriculum is being used for the SB 9 lessons, and why weren’t the materials provided to parents in the agenda?’
💰 Impact: Bypassing Parental Review

Vague ‘Bylaws’ Update Could Impact Public Input
The committee is discussing its duties and bylaws under Item 5.A without providing the proposed text of the bylaws in the agenda. This lack of transparency makes it impossible for the public to know if changes are being made to reduce public input, change membership requirements, or alter the committee’s advisory role.
Response
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) for Item 5.A to confirm whether it contains hidden policy changes. If no file is attached, contact the District Office: ‘Please post the proposed SHAC bylaws for Item 5.A online so the public can review them before the meeting.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Public Access

‘Bullying Prevention’ Update May Introduce SEL
The district is providing an update on bullying prevention, managed by the ‘Student Mental Health’ department. While important, these programs are often a vehicle for introducing Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) curricula or consultants without specific board approval.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) regarding Item 5.F: ‘What specific programs or vendors are being used for bullying prevention, and do they involve Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) frameworks?’
💰 Impact: Politicized Classroom
