Heads up! We have scanned the upcoming agenda for Alhambra Elementary District (4280). We found 8 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |
|
District to Partner with Health Data-Mining Firm
Item E.2 approves an agreement with ‘Contexture’ to refer families for social services. This connects our schools to a statewide ‘Health Information Exchange’ that tracks ‘Social Determinants of Health’ and grants the company a ‘perpetual and irrevocable license’ to the data collected. While the district claims student records won’t be shared, this program turns school staff into data-gatherers on families for a massive health surveillance system.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a critical threat to family privacy. Email the Governing Board at boardcomments@alhambraesd.org and sign up for public comment: ‘Vote NO on Item E.2, the Contexture Agreement. Our schools must not become data-entry points for a statewide health surveillance system.’
💰 Impact: Your Family’s Privacy

District Platforming Anti-Parental Rights Politician
The board is giving a platform to State Senator Flavio Bravo for a ‘Legislative Recap.’ The Senator’s own presentation materials highlight his party’s vetoes of numerous parental rights bills, including those protecting parents’ right to be notified about social transitioning (HB 2249) and ensuring single-sex bathrooms (SB 1003). This presentation signals the board’s alignment with political forces actively working against parental authority.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND NEUTRALITY: Email the Governing Board at boardcomments@alhambraesd.org: ‘Regarding Item B.1, school board meetings should be free of partisan politics. Why is the board giving a platform to a politician whose party has consistently vetoed bills designed to protect parental rights and student safety?’
💰 Impact: Political Agendas in Schools

District Accepting $6.1M in Federal Grants with Hidden Strings
Consent Agenda Item D.9 approves the acceptance of over $6.1 million in federal Title I and Title II grants. These large federal grants often come with mandates for specific DEI/SEL curricula or invasive student data collection requirements that are not disclosed to parents. The board is accepting the money without a public discussion of the conditions attached.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Governing Board at boardcomments@alhambraesd.org: ‘I demand Consent Item D.9 be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and vote. Before accepting $6.1M in federal funds, the board must publicly disclose all attached requirements regarding curriculum, data collection, and DEI/SEL mandates.’
💰 Impact: $6.1M (Federal Strings Attached)

Policy Change Lets Superintendent Alter Security Systems Without Board Vote
Item G.2, a second reading of Policy CBA, would allow the Superintendent to modify school ‘weapons detection systems’ without prior Governing Board approval. While the policy requires notification within 24 hours, it removes the essential step of public oversight and a vote by our elected officials on critical safety infrastructure. This centralizes power and reduces transparency.
Recommended Action Plan
PROTECT OVERSIGHT: Email the Governing Board at boardcomments@alhambraesd.org: ‘Vote NO on the changes to Policy CBA in Item G.2. The board must retain prior approval authority over any modifications to school security systems to ensure public accountability.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Board Oversight

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
Consent Agenda Item D.3 is for the ‘Approval of Personnel Agenda.’ These agendas can contain new hires for positions like DEI or SEL coordinators, but the document ‘26.10.01 Personnel Agenda.r2.pdf’ is not included in the public packet for review.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘26.10.01 Personnel Agenda.r2.pdf’ attached to Item D.3 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains new administrative hires for ideological roles like DEI or SEL.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Hires
|
| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
Item G.8 is the second reading and adoption of Policy KFA, ‘Public Conduct on School Property.’ Policies with this title are often used to create vague rules that can be used to limit or intimidate parents speaking at board meetings. The actual policy document is not included in the public packet for review.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘KFA-Public Conduct on School Property.docx’ attached to Item G.8 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains new restrictions on public comment or parent participation at meetings.
💰 Impact: Restrictions on Parent Speech

WIN: Board Adopts Policy Protecting Patriotic Youth Groups
Item G.7 is the second reading and adoption of Policy JJAB, which ensures that ‘patriotic youth groups’ cannot be denied equal access to meet in schools. This policy protects groups like Boy Scouts from discrimination and ensures they have a fair opportunity to address students. This is a great victory for community values and free association.
How to Lock It In
AMPLIFY THIS WIN: Show up or email the board at boardcomments@alhambraesd.org to thank them for adopting Policy JJAB under Item G.7. This is a model policy that protects valuable community groups and should be shared with chapters in neighboring districts.
✅ Why It Matters: Protecting Community Groups

WIN: Board Increases Transparency on Consent Agenda Votes
Item G.1 is the second reading and adoption of Policy BEDB, which prohibits the district from hiding tax or fee increases on the consent agenda. This change, based on state law, forces these important financial decisions into the open for individual discussion and a roll-call vote. This is a solid win for transparency and taxpayer accountability.
How to Lock It In
AMPLIFY THIS WIN: Show up or email the board at boardcomments@alhambraesd.org to thank them for adopting Policy BEDB under Item G.1. Publicly supporting good policy makes it harder to reverse and sets a standard for other districts.
✅ Why It Matters: Increased Accountability
