New Bullying Policy Allows District to Withhold Information from Parents
The revised bullying policy creates a loophole allowing the district to delay notifying parents about an incident involving their child. If staff decide that telling a parent could put the student ‘at risk of abuse, neglect or other imminent harm,’ they can keep parents in the dark, substituting their own judgment for parental authority.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a direct assault on your right to know what is happening to your child at school. Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Vote NO on Policy 249 under Item 4.A.1. I do not consent to the district withholding information about my child’s safety and well-being. Parental notification must be immediate and mandatory.’

District Mandates ‘Wellness Checks’ and Home Visits for Virtual Students
This new policy requires weekly ‘real-time visual wellness checks’ for students in the virtual academy. If a student misses a check and a follow-up conference, the policy authorizes an ‘in-person wellness check’ at the student’s home by a Social Worker, creating a system of home surveillance without parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This policy authorizes school staff to conduct in-person ‘wellness checks’ at your home if your virtual student misses an online check-in. Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Vote NO on Policy 204.2 under Item 4.A.1. The district has no right to conduct surveillance or home visits without a warrant or parental consent.’
💰 Impact: Your Family’s Privacy

District Proposes New Rules to Restrict Public Comment at Board Meetings
This revised policy gives the Board President broad, subjective power to interrupt or terminate public comments. The long list of prohibited speech, including vague terms, is designed to chill dissent and make it harder for parents to hold the board accountable.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TO BE HEARD: This policy is a muzzle. Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Vote NO on Policy 903 under Item 5.A. We will not allow our right to speak to be restricted by vague rules designed to silence parents. Uphold the First Amendment.’
💰 Impact: Your Voice

District to Train Law Enforcement on ‘Restorative Practices’
This policy on relations with law enforcement requires the district to invite police to participate in training on ideological concepts like ‘trauma-informed approaches’ and ‘restorative practices.’ This injects social justice ideology into school safety procedures, potentially prioritizing therapeutic approaches over student discipline and safety.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE HARD QUESTIONS: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Regarding Policy 805.1 under Item 4.A.1, what specific training materials will be used for “restorative practices” and “trauma-informed” training? Parents have a right to know if these programs deprioritize consequences for bad behavior.’
💰 Impact: Ideology Over Safety
