Board to Discuss Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying Platform
The Board will hold a ‘Legislative Platform Discussion’ (Item 2) to decide its official position on state and federal laws. This is where the district decides whether to use public resources to lobby for or against bills impacting parental rights, curriculum, and school choice.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask for the draft Legislative Platform to be posted publicly before the meeting. Urge the Board to adopt a platform that explicitly defends parental rights and local control over education.
💰 Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying

| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |

Unspecified Policy Revisions on Agenda
The agenda includes a ‘Policy Revision Cycle Qtr. 2’ (Item 6) without specifying which policies are being changed. This is a common tactic to introduce controversial changes related to gender, curriculum, or parental notification without drawing public attention.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) immediately: ‘Item 6, “Policy Revision Cycle Qtr. 2,” must include a list of the specific policies being revised, with drafts attached, for public review. The community cannot provide input on secret policy changes.’
💰 Impact: Hidden Policy Changes

Teachers’ Union Contract Follow-Up
The Board is holding a ‘CBA Follow Up’ (Item 8), which refers to the Collective Bargaining Agreement with the teachers’ union. Union contracts can be used to lock in destructive policies on student discipline (Restorative Practices), teacher training (DEI), and curriculum, bypassing normal public oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Parents demand that all proposals related to the CBA Follow Up under Item 8 be made public. We must be able to review any language that impacts curriculum, student discipline, or parental notification rights before it is agreed upon.’
💰 Impact: Union Contract Overreach
|
| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Student Safety Assessment & Surveillance
The Board is discussing ‘FSSAT / Safety & Security’ (Item 5). The Florida Safe Schools Assessment Tool (FSSAT) can involve student surveillance, data collection, and ‘threat assessment’ protocols that may operate without full parental consent before intervention.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding the FSSAT discussion under Item 5, what specific student data is collected and who has access to it? Please confirm that parents have the right to review all data collected on their child and to opt-out of any related surveys or screenings.’
💰 Impact: Student Surveillance
