Final Vote on Secret School Board Policies
The Board is scheduled for a final vote to adopt a packet of new or revised policies under Item 12.9. The actual text of these policies was not included in the provided public documents, preventing parents from reviewing them for impacts on parental rights, curriculum, or student privacy before they become binding district rules.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: This is a final vote. Immediately open the file ‘Second Reading Packet 10-06-26.pdf’ attached to Item 12.9 in the Official Agenda (linked above). Scan for policies related to parental notification, gender identity, library materials, and public comment.
💰 Impact: New District Policy

District to Promote More ‘Purposeful’ EdTech
The district is presenting on its use of technology under Item 7.2. This comes just two weeks after the board approved a $116,375 contract for the controversial i-Ready software despite parental objections. This presentation is likely a prelude to expanding screen time and software contracts that replace direct teacher instruction with algorithms.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM & ASK QUESTIONS: Parents spoke out against i-Ready at the last meeting, and the board approved it anyway. Show up for Item 7.2. During public comment, ask: ‘After the recent $116,375 i-Ready purchase, what independent, non-vendor-funded evidence can you provide that these programs improve academic outcomes more than a teacher in the classroom? How much total daily screen time are you targeting for our children?’
💰 Impact: More Screen Time

First Look at New Secret Board Policies
The Board is introducing a new packet of policies for a ‘first reading’ under Item 14.1. The text of these proposed policies was not included in the provided documents. This prevents parental review of potential changes to student and family rights before the policies advance toward a final vote.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: This is the first look at new policies. Open the file ‘First Reading Packet 10-6-26.pdf’ attached to Item 14.1 in the Official Agenda (linked above). This is the best time to identify and challenge policies that undermine parental rights.
💰 Impact: Future District Policy

Undisclosed Budget Adjustments Up for Vote
Item 12.3 authorizes a budget adjustment to Capital and Building funds, moving money around after the budget was adopted. The attachment explaining the specific changes was not included in the provided documents, making it impossible to verify what this money is for.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘Board Agenda Item_Budget Adjustment_Fund 21 & 25.pdf’ attached to Item 12.3 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains funding for ideological programs or facilities.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed

SEL Vendor ‘Playworks’ on Consent Agenda
A $2,000 payment to ‘Playworks’ for ‘Consultation’ is included in the Purchase Order report (Item 10.1) on the consent agenda. Playworks is a national organization that uses recess and play to push Social Emotional Learning (SEL) concepts into schools.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Education (contact info on district website): ‘I demand Consent Item 10.1 be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and vote. Why is the district paying the SEL provider Playworks for consultation, and what exactly are they consulting on?’
💰 Impact: $2,000

Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘RBUSD Campus Safety Officer MOU & Job Description.pdf’ attached to Item 12.8 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether this position’s duties include ‘Restorative Practices,’ ‘bias reporting,’ or other ideological functions.
💰 Impact: $25,000.00
