District Pushes More Screen Time with Virtual Language Courses
Under Item 7.C, the district plans to expand virtual (online) world language courses for high schoolers. This increases student screen time and replaces valuable in-person instruction, yet the administration has provided no independent evidence that these programs are effective.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND EVIDENCE: This is a discussion item (7.C) that will likely come up for a vote later. Contact the Board of Education now: ‘Before expanding virtual learning, please publish the independent, non-vendor-funded evidence showing these online courses are as effective as in-person instruction, and detail the total daily screen time they will add.’ Members should verify Board contact information on the district website.
💰 Impact: More Screen Time

SEL Stealth-Ed in ‘Middle School 101’ Course
The district is renaming the ‘Transitions’ course to ‘Middle School 101’ and focusing the curriculum on ‘digital citizenship’ and the ‘Portrait of a Graduate.’ These terms are often cover for introducing Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and other ideological concepts into the classroom without clear notice to parents.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: This is part of Consent Agenda Item 4.D. Contact the Board of Education and demand to see the full, detailed curriculum for the new ‘Middle School 101’ course before it is approved. Ask them: ‘How does this curriculum define digital citizenship, and what specific SEL competencies are included in the Portrait of a Graduate?’ Members should verify Board contact information on the district website.
💰 Impact: SEL by Another Name

Major Win: District Proposes Parental Opt-Out for Controversial Topics
The Board is conducting a first read of new policies (6:70 and 6:80) that would formally recognize parents’ rights to opt their children out of instruction that undermines their religious beliefs. The policy memo specifically cites ‘LGBTQ+-inclusive storybooks’ as an example of curriculum parents could refuse, setting a powerful precedent for parental authority.
How to Lock It In
PACK THE ROOM TO SUPPORT: This is Item 7.A. Show up to thank the Board for considering these pro-parent policies. Sign up for public comment to say: ‘Thank you for strengthening parental rights. Please vote YES on policies 6:70 and 6:80 to ensure parents, not the district, have the final say on sensitive topics.’ This is our chance to get a huge win on the record.
✅ Why It Matters: Parental Rights Affirmed
