| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
District Cuts Student Instruction Time Every Week for Teacher Training
The proposed 2026-2027 school calendar mandates a 2:00 PM early dismissal every Monday for ‘professional development.’ This represents a significant, weekly loss of instructional time for all students, which is being reallocated to teacher training.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the 2026-27 School Calendar Draft, we oppose the weekly early dismissal that cuts instructional time for our children. Before this is approved, please publish the full curriculum and all provider names for the ‘professional development’ that the district believes is more important than an afternoon of instruction every single week.’
💰 Impact: Lost Instructional Time

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The agenda includes a discussion item for ‘2026-2027 Chrysalis After-School Program Grant Agreements.’ The documents for this grant-funded program were not attached to the public agenda, preventing parental review. After-school programs and grants are common pathways for introducing SEL or other ideological content outside the normal curriculum review process.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: The ‘Chrysalis After-School Program Grant Agreements’ were listed for discussion but not provided in the public packet. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Please immediately publish the full grant agreement for the Chrysalis After-School Program. Parents have a right to review any program, especially one funded by outside grants, before it is approved.’
💰 Impact: Ideological Strings Attached

District Goals Prioritize ‘Social-Emotional Growth’
The Board’s 2025-2026 goals explicitly state the district will ‘implement strategies and plans to support the academic, social, and emotional growth of all students.’ This language frames social-emotional learning (SEL) as a core part of the district’s mission, on par with academics, and includes goals for ‘Mental Health’ and ‘targeted subgroup goals,’ which can open the door to identity-based programming.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE BOARD: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the 2025-2026 Board Goals, what specific metrics will be used to measure ‘social and emotional growth’? Parents are concerned that prioritizing subjective emotional goals will detract from measurable academic achievement in core subjects like reading and math.’
💰 Impact: Academics replaced by SEL

Thousands Spent on Undisclosed Books
The invoice listings show payments of $1,861.80 to Amazon and $1,973.96 to Perma-Bound for books. In both cases, the agenda packet fails to provide the list of titles being purchased, preventing parental review of materials entering classrooms and libraries.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘The invoice listings include over $3,800 for books from Amazon and Perma-Bound, but the title lists were not included. Please publish a complete list of all book titles being purchased under these invoices for parental review before payment is approved.’
💰 Impact: $3,835.76
