| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |

New ‘Bias’ Policy Could Criminalize Traditional Beliefs
The district is updating its complaint procedures (Policy 1312.3) to incorporate language from a new state law, AB 715. This new rule defines ‘discriminatory bias’ in a way that does not require any proof of harm, opening the door for activists to label any curriculum, book, or statement they disagree with as ‘bias’ and demand its removal.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND CLARIFICATION: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact details). ‘Regarding the updates to Policy 1312.3 under Item 2.E, how will the district ensure the new definition of ‘discriminatory bias’ is not used to silence protected speech or remove materials that reflect the traditional values of this community? We need safeguards against ideological weaponization.’
💰 Impact: Weaponized Complaint Process

District Proposes Sharing Student Data with Third-Party Tech Companies
A proposed update to the Student Records policy (BP 5125) would allow the Superintendent to ‘enter into a contract with a third party for the digital storage, management, and retrieval of student records.’ This opens the door for sensitive student data to be shared with outside vendors without specific board approval or parental notification for each contract.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND VENDOR TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact details). ‘Regarding the proposed changes to BP 5125 under Item 2.C, I demand that any contract with a third party for student data storage be brought to the Board for a public vote. Parents have a right to know exactly who is getting our children’s data.’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

Vague ‘Bias Mitigation’ Training for Teachers Proposed
The agenda includes new policies for staff development (BP 4131, 4231, 4331) that mention required training on ‘inclusion’ and ‘bias mitigation.’ The actual training materials and content are not attached to the public agenda packet, preventing parents from seeing what ideological frameworks teachers will be trained in.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The attachments for Staff Development policies under Item 2.D were not fully provided. Open the files attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether they contain details on the ‘inclusion’ and ‘bias mitigation’ training.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Ideological Training

District Adopts Landmark Policy to Stop Secret Social Transitions
The district is updating its Parent Rights (BP 5020) and Student Privacy (BP 5022) policies to explicitly prohibit staff from misleading parents about a student’s gender identity at school. Citing the recent ‘Mirabelli v. Bonta’ court decision, the new rules require staff to use a student’s legal name and pronouns if a parent objects to alternatives, ensuring parents remain the primary decision-makers for their children.
How to Lock It In
PACK THE ROOM TO SUPPORT THIS WIN: Show up to thank the Board for adopting this model policy that protects parental rights and stops secret social transitions. This sets a powerful precedent for other districts; we must get it on the record and encourage its passage. Address the Board at the meeting for Item 2.C.
✅ Why It Matters: A Model Policy

District Strengthens Parental Right to Opt-Out of Lessons
New updates to regulations for instructional materials (AR 1312.2) and student privacy (AR 5022) explicitly clarify and strengthen the right of parents to opt their children out of specific instructional content. This is a crucial win that affirms parental authority over what their children are taught.
How to Lock It In
SECURE THIS WIN: Show up to thank the Board for clarifying and strengthening parental opt-out rights in items 2.C and 2.D. Publicly supporting these changes makes them harder to reverse and provides a model for other districts.
✅ Why It Matters: Parental Authority Affirmed
