District Approving Plan to Embed SEL, ‘Mental Health’ Services
The 2026-27 District Improvement Plan (Item 4.C) explicitly names ‘Social-Emotional Learning’ and ‘trauma-informed care’ as core strategies. The plan also expands the role of outside groups like ‘Communities in Schools’ to deliver school-based mental health services, creating a system of student surveillance that can operate without full parental oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM for the Public Hearing on Item 4.C. Email the Board of Trustees: ‘I oppose the approval of the District Improvement Plan until all references to SEL are replaced with a focus on academic recovery and all mental health services require active, written parental consent for each session.’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

$96,000 Contract for School-Based ‘Support’ Services
A payment of $96,000 is listed to ‘Communities in Schools’ (Item 4.B), an organization that provides ‘wrap-around services’ and mental health support inside schools. These programs can operate without direct parental involvement, creating a parallel system of care and data collection on your child.
Recommended Action Plan
Email the Board of Trustees regarding Item 4.B: ‘What specific services does Communities in Schools provide, what data is collected on students, and what are the parental consent and opt-out procedures for any interaction with this group? This contract must be publicly debated.’
💰 Impact: $96,000.00

| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |

Superintendent Given Blank Check for ‘Public-Private Partnerships’
Item 4.G gives the Superintendent the authority to ‘negotiate and finalize’ agreements with outside private groups without bringing each specific agreement back to the board for a public vote. This reduces transparency and board oversight, allowing potentially controversial partnerships to be approved behind closed doors.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY. Email the Board of Trustees: ‘Vote NO on Item 4.G. The Superintendent must not have the authority to finalize partnerships without a public board vote on each specific agreement. This is a dangerous removal of public oversight.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Board Oversight

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Board to Vote on Undisclosed Library Books
The board is scheduled to approve new library materials under Item 4.D, but the list of books or materials has not been included in the public agenda packet. This prevents parents from reviewing the materials their children will have access to before the board votes, violating basic transparency and parental rights.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached to Item 4.D in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm the materials list is missing. Then, email the Board of Trustees: ‘Table the vote on Item 4.D. The public has a right to review all proposed library materials for at least two weeks before they are approved.’
💰 Impact: Unvetted Library Books

District Spends Over $28k on Student Screen Time Software
Buried in the monthly bills (Item 4.B) are payments to multiple EdTech vendors, including Brain Pop ($21,131), Renaissance Learning ($3,780), ESGI ($2,730), and IXL ($1,312). The district has not provided evidence that these screen-based programs produce real academic gains or justified the replacement of teacher-led instruction with more screen time.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Trustees regarding Item 4.B: ‘Before approving payments for EdTech vendors like Brain Pop and IXL, the Board must publish independent evidence of their academic effectiveness and a report on the total daily screen time these programs add for students.’
💰 Impact: $28,953+

| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
District Funds Unvetted Classroom Materials from Online Marketplace
The district spent $500 on ‘Teachers Pay Teachers’ (Item 4.B), an online marketplace where teachers can buy lesson plans from unvetted sources. This creates a backdoor for ideological and low-quality materials to enter the classroom, bypassing the district’s official curriculum review process that protects parents and students.
Recommended Action Plan
Email the Board of Trustees: ‘Regarding Item 4.B, what is the district’s policy for reviewing and approving supplemental materials purchased from sites like Teachers Pay Teachers? Parents have a right to know that all classroom content is vetted and academically sound.’
💰 Impact: Bypassing Curriculum Review
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
District Pays Vendor Known for SEL-Based Health Curriculum
The district paid $1,447.25 to CATCH Global Foundation (Item 4.B), a vendor whose health programs are often built on a ‘Whole Child’ model that incorporates Social Emotional Learning. This could be an entry point for SEL concepts into physical education or health classes without parental review.
Recommended Action Plan
Email the Board of Trustees regarding Item 4.B: ‘What specific materials were purchased from CATCH Global Foundation, and will they be made available for full parental review before being used with students?’
💰 Impact: $1,447.25
