| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Vote on Secret School Health Committee Membership
The board is approving the members of the School Health Advisory Committee (SHAC) on the consent agenda, hiding the vote from public discussion. This committee has major influence over sex-ed and mental health policy, but the district has not disclosed who is being appointed.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Pull Item 7.I from the Consent Agenda. Parents have a right to know who is being appointed to the SHAC before you approve the membership.’
💰 Impact: Activist-Led Health Policy

| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |

Improvement Plans with Hidden Goals on Consent Agenda
The board plans to approve the District and Campus Improvement Plans as part of a bundled ‘consent agenda’ vote, preventing discussion. These documents are often where goals for DEI, SEL, and other ideological programs are hidden, but the plans themselves are not attached for public review.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Pull Item 7.G from the Consent Agenda. The public deserves to see the full text of the District and Campus Improvement Plans and hear a public discussion before you vote on them.’
💰 Impact: Hidden Ideological Goals
|
| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
District to Preview ‘Universal Screener’ Student Surveillance
The district will present a ‘Universal Screener’ program. These systems are often used to collect non-academic data on students’ behavior, attitudes, and beliefs for ‘intervention,’ creating a psychological profile of your child without your full consent.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item 6.B, what specific data will the Universal Screener collect on students? Will parents receive a copy of all questions and be able to opt their children out before any screening occurs?’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Data

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Superintendent Given Power to Accept Donations Without Board Vote
This item gives the Superintendent sole authority to accept donations for three months, bypassing a public board vote. This creates a backdoor for special interest groups and activist foundations to funnel money and influence into the district without public oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item 8.A, I oppose delegating this authority. If you pass this, I demand a full, public report of every single donation accepted be presented at every board meeting.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Board Oversight
|
| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Secret Partnership Agreement with Boys & Girls Club
The board is approving a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Boys & Girls Club on the un-debated consent agenda. The terms of this partnership, including data-sharing, liability, and curriculum influence, are unknown because the MOU document was not provided.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Post the full MOU for Item 7.H online immediately. The Board should not approve secret agreements with outside organizations.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Partnership Terms
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 3) |
|
Public Comment Rules Limit Parent Voices
The district requires parents to sign up for public comment before 3:00 PM on the day of the meeting. This rule can prevent parents who learn of a last-minute agenda item from speaking, effectively silencing dissent that arises on the day of the vote.
Recommended Action Plan
Monitor: This is a common but restrictive policy. Track if the board uses it to shut down debate on controversial issues.
💰 Impact: Suppressed Speech
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 3) |
|
Report on ‘Student Engagement’ Committee
A committee on ‘Student Engagement’ is giving an update. While it sounds positive, this term can be a euphemism for SEL programs or training students for political activism rather than focusing on academics.
Recommended Action Plan
Monitor: Ask the district to post the Student Engagement Committee’s charter, meeting minutes, and membership list on the district website. No immediate action required.
💰 Impact: Focus on Activism?
