| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |

Board Suspends All Public Comment Indefinitely
At the September 14 meeting, the Board voted unanimously to suspend the public comment period at all meetings, effective immediately. This prevents parents from speaking to the board on any issue. The board stated the policy was under review, but has not brought it back for discussion as promised for the October meeting.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND YOUR VOICE BE RESTORED: The board is operating without public input. Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘I demand the immediate reinstatement of the public comment period under Policy KD. Governing without public input is a violation of public trust and is unacceptable.’
💰 Impact: Silencing Parents

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
Item 7.C on the agenda is ‘Policy IKF – Graduation Requirements,’ but the actual policy document was not included in the agenda packet. Changes to graduation requirements are often used to insert ideological mandates, and parents have a right to see what is being proposed before it is discussed.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes. Email the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding Item 7.C, parents must see the proposed changes to graduation requirements in Policy IKF before the board discusses them. Please release the document publicly now.’
💰 Impact: Hidden Curriculum Mandates

New Policy Imposes Hurdles for Homeschool Families
The board is voting on Policy IGCG, which governs homeschooling. The policy requires parents of children under 18 to meet in person with a school counselor or administrator to withdraw their child, and reserves the district’s right to require testing for placement, treating homeschools as ‘non-accredited’.
Recommended Action Plan
PROTECT HOMESCHOOL FREEDOM: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info) before the Oct. 12 meeting: ‘Vote NO on Policy IGCG. The requirement for an in-person meeting to withdraw a child is an unnecessary burden on parents exercising their legal right to homeschool.’
💰 Impact: District Scrutiny of Homeschoolers

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
Consent Agenda Item 3.F approves all district payments and warrants, but the list of payments was not included in the main agenda packet. This ‘blank check’ approval could hide payments to controversial vendors for SEL, DEI, or other ideological programs without public scrutiny.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes. Email the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘I demand Consent Item 3.F be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion. The public deserves to know where our tax dollars are going before payments are approved.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending
