Heads up! We have scanned the upcoming agenda for Mercer Island School District. We found 2 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
MONITOR (LEVEL 5)
Consultant to Retrain Board on ‘Civic Leadership’ Role
📅 October 15, 2026
The board is holding a study session with an outside consultant, Peg Portscheller, to discuss a ‘shift to a civic leadership role for school board members.’ This is often code for training elected board members to prioritize the administration’s agenda and abstract ‘community’ goals over their duty to represent the parents who elected them.
Recommended Action Plan

ASK THE BOARD: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact details) and ask: ‘Regarding Item 2.A, what specific problem is this ‘civic leadership’ training trying to solve? Please affirm that the Board’s primary duty is oversight and accountability to the parents and taxpayers who elect you, not activism.’

💰 Impact: Reduced Board Accountability
ALERT (LEVEL 4)
Board Hiding Classroom Visits and PTSA Meeting from Public View
📅 October 15, 2026
The Board will be conducting classroom observations (Item 2.B) and holding an ‘informal dialogue’ with the PTSA (Item 2.E), but has announced that live streaming will not be available for these portions of the meeting. This prevents parents from seeing what the board sees and hearing what is said, creating a transparency gap and giving one group privileged access.
Recommended Action Plan

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link for contact details) and state: ‘All board discussions on school business, including observations and meetings with groups like the PTSA, should be public. Why are Items 2.B and 2.E being conducted without a live stream for the public?’

💰 Impact: Reduced Transparency
