District Facing $30 Million Budget Shortfall
Under Items 7.C.1 and 7.C.2, the administration reveals a massive, projected $30 million budget deficit for this school year, driven by a 700-student drop in enrollment and soaring healthcare costs. The Board is being asked to approve budget changes that formalize a nearly $10 million increase in the deficit, putting classroom resources at risk and setting the stage for future tax hike requests.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY: Email the Board (contact info on district website) regarding Items 7.C.1 and 7.C.2: ‘A $30M deficit is a crisis. Before approving any budget amendments, what specific, non-classroom-related spending is being cut immediately to address this shortfall and protect taxpayers?’
💰 Impact: $30M Deficit

New ‘Threat Assessment’ Teams to Monitor Students
Hidden in Consent Agenda Item 5.C, new policy FFB creates ‘Threat Assessment and Safe and Supportive’ teams on every campus. These teams will identify students for ‘concerning behavior,’ conduct assessments, and implement ‘intervention and monitoring strategies,’ including referrals for mental health services.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Pull Item 5.C from the Consent Agenda for a separate vote. Parents must be the primary decision-makers for their child’s mental health. What specific parental consent is required before a ‘Threat Assessment’ team can refer a child for a mental health assessment?’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

Vague ‘Improvement Plans’ Open Door for Ideology
Item 7.A.3 asks the Board to approve the objectives for District, Campus, and Local ‘Improvement Plans.’ This bureaucratic framework, which relies on ‘Professional Learning Communities’ and ‘targeted interventions,’ is a common pathway for introducing SEL and DEI initiatives while bypassing direct parental review of the content.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE HARD QUESTIONS: Email the Board (contact info on district website) before the vote on Item 7.A.3: ‘What specific, evidence-based academic programs will be used in these Improvement Plans? Will the district commit that no SEL or DEI curriculum will be implemented through these plans without a separate, transparent review and approval process for parents?’
💰 Impact: Academics Replaced by Agendas

District Affirms Parental Control Over Library Books
Under Consent Agenda Item 5.A, the district is following the state-mandated transparent process for approving new library books. The district is also actively promoting tools that allow parents to restrict their child’s access to specific books and get notified about what their child checks out.
How to Lock It In
SECURE THE WIN: Email the Board (contact info on district website) to thank them for upholding parental rights and transparency under Item 5.A. Ask them to ensure the parent notification and restriction tools are promoted to all families at the start of every school year.
✅ Why It Matters: Parental Empowerment
