Final Vote on 12+ Policies Affecting Parental Rights
The board is set to approve a massive bundle of policies on topics like ‘Parent Rights and Responsibilities,’ ‘Student and Family Privacy Rights,’ and how library books are selected. These policies are being passed on the consent agenda with no public discussion, and the final text of the policies was not included in the public agenda packet.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a critical vote. Email the Board at district@coastusd.org and demand ‘Pull Item 5.9 from the Consent Agenda for a full public reading and a separate roll-call vote on each policy. Parents will not accept hidden policy changes that affect our rights.’
💰 Impact: Your Right to Know

| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |

New Policy on ‘Administering Medication’ Introduced
The board is introducing a new policy, BP 5141.21, on ‘Administering Medication and Monitoring Health Conditions.’ Policies like this can be used to create school-based health services that operate without parental consent or to administer sensitive medications to students. The text of this new policy was not provided for public review.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a major threat to parental rights. Go to the meeting and demand the board table Action Item 6.3 until the full text is posted publicly for at least 30 days for parental review. Email the board at district@coastusd.org: ‘Vote NO on Item 6.3. We do not co-parent with the school district.’
💰 Impact: Bypassing Parental Consent

| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
Final Vote on ‘Student Records’ Policy Without Public Review
The board is taking a final vote on BP 5125, the policy governing your child’s permanent school records. This policy dictates who can access student data and what information is kept, but the final text was not included in the public agenda for parents to review.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND A VOTE: Email the Board at district@coastusd.org: ‘Parents have a right to review changes to the Student Records policy. We demand a public discussion and roll-call vote on Action Item 6.2, not a rubber stamp.’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Final Vote on Special Education Policies, Text Not Provided
The board is voting to approve four policies that directly impact students with IEPs and their families, including rules for ‘Individualized Education Programs.’ The final text of these policies was not attached to the public agenda, preventing parents from reviewing the changes before the vote.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board at district@coastusd.org: ‘Pull Item 5.10 from the Consent Agenda. Parents of children with special needs must be able to review the final text of these policies before you vote.’
💰 Impact: Changes to IEP Process

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |

District Spending on Unproven Digital Curriculum
The district is paying multiple vendors for student-facing software, including Curriculum Associates (i-Ready), Learning Ally, and TeachTown. The Board has not presented any independent, non-vendor-funded evidence that these programs improve academic outcomes or justified the increase in student screen time.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND PROOF: Email the Board ( district@coastusd.org) and ask: ‘Regarding the vendor payments in Consent Item 5.2, please provide the independent, peer-reviewed studies proving these EdTech products work and a report on the total daily screen time they add for students before approving further payments.’
💰 Impact: Increased Screen Time

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Approval of Vague Contracts with Outside Parties
The board plans to approve three Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with outside individuals and a studio (‘Slabtown’). The agenda provides no information on what services are being contracted, what they will cost, or what access these parties will have to students, and the MOUs themselves are not attached.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Email the Board at district@coastusd.org: ‘Regarding Items 5.14, 5.15, and 5.16, what is the purpose and cost of these agreements? The public deserves to see the full text of these MOUs before they are approved on the consent agenda.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed

Secret Union Negotiation Proposals
The district and the teachers union (CCTA) are presenting their initial proposals for contract negotiations. These ‘Sunshine Proposals’ often contain demands related to ideological teacher training, curriculum, and work rules, but the documents were not included in the public agenda.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the files attached to Item 7.3 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to see what the union is demanding. These proposals set the stage for what ends up in the final contract and in the classroom.
💰 Impact: Ideological Contract Terms

District Highlights Academic Achievement with AP & Dual Enrollment
The Superintendent’s presentation focuses on expanding Advanced Placement and Dual Enrollment college-level courses. This is a positive sign that the district is prioritizing rigorous academics and preparing students for success after graduation.
How to Lock It In
SECURE THE WIN: Show up to thank the Board for focusing on academic excellence. Publicly praise this initiative during public comment to encourage more of it and make it a district priority that can’t be quietly defunded later.
✅ Why It Matters: Focus on Academics
