District Proposes Deleting Policies on Instruction, Drugs, Weapons, and Safety
The board is voting to completely delete six local policies governing required instruction, elective instruction, student conduct on tobacco, alcohol, drugs, and weapons, and transportation safety. The district has not provided the text of any replacement policies, leaving a dangerous vacuum where clear rules once protected students.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE & PACK THE ROOM: The board is voting to eliminate policies on academics, drugs, and weapons under Items 10, 11, 19, 20, 21, and 30. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Do not vote to delete policies on instruction and student safety until the full text of replacement policies has been public for at least 30 days. We demand a full public discussion on these items, not a rubber stamp.’
💰 Impact: Student Safety & Academic Standards

Board to Approve $1M+ Vendor Contract Without Public Disclosure
Tucked into the ‘consent agenda’ for a single rubber-stamp vote, Item 22 authorizes vendor contracts of $1,000,000 or more. The district has not provided the attachment listing the vendors or the purpose of the spending, preventing any public scrutiny before the vote.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Pull Consent Agenda Item 22 for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. The public has a right to know which vendors are receiving over $1 million in taxpayer funds and for what purpose before you approve it.’
💰 Impact: $1,000,000+

District Approving Large List of Library Books With No Vetting Process
The board is set to approve a long list of new library books for all grade levels, including many young adult and graphic novel titles, in a single vote. This bulk approval process bypasses meaningful parental review of individual books that may contain mature or ideological content.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND REVIEW: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Consent Item 16, what is the parental review process for these specific library books? We demand a transparent, parent-led review process for all new library materials before they are purchased and placed in our schools.’
💰 Impact: Bypassing Parental Review

District Report Tracks Student Achievement Through an ‘Equity’ Lens
The ‘Goal Progress’ report presented to the board (Item 3) heavily focuses on tracking student test scores based on race, ethnicity, and economic status. This practice of disaggregating data by group identity is a core component of ‘Equity’ and Critical Race Theory frameworks, shifting the focus from individual student achievement to group outcomes.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE BOARD: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item 3, why is the district’s primary framework for student achievement based on race? The focus should be on academic excellence for every individual student, not on group identity politics.’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Data
