Plan to Embed SEL and ‘Identity’ into Academics
The 2026-2027 Unified Improvement Plan (UIP) makes ‘social-emotional’ learning, ‘student identity,’ ‘belonging,’ and ‘restorative practices’ a primary focus for the district. While the district’s own data shows academic achievement ‘Does Not Meet’ standards, this plan shifts resources and focus from core academics to social engineering.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a foundational plan for the entire school year. Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Vote NO on Action Item 4.2. Reject the UIP and direct the administration to create a new plan focused entirely on academic excellence in literacy and numeracy, not social-emotional programming.’
💰 Impact: Focus on Academics

Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying Contract for $45,000
The Board is set to approve a $45,000 contract with a professional lobbying firm, Colorado Legislative Strategies, to influence state legislation. This diverts public education funds that should be spent in the classroom to pay for political influence at the state capitol.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY: This is not an appropriate use of education funds. Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘I demand you vote NO on Action Item 4.1, the Colorado Legislative Strategies Contract. Our tax dollars should fund classrooms, not lobbyists.’
💰 Impact: $45,000

| ALERT (LEVEL 3) |

Increased Fees for Public Records Requests
The board is voting on a ‘First Reading’ of changes to its public records policy. The changes increase the hourly fee for staff time to retrieve documents and give the school more discretion to deny requests for data.
Recommended Action Plan
MONITOR: This is a First Reading. Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Regarding Consent Items 3.5 and 3.6, please ensure that any changes to the public records policy do not create new barriers for parents seeking to understand school operations.’
💰 Impact: Parental Oversight
