District to Spend $142,220 on Student Mental Health Platform
Buried in the Purchase Order report (PO1-27-1053.1) is a $142,220 payment to TadHealth Inc. This company provides a platform to connect students with mental health providers, potentially creating a pathway for school-based therapy or services without direct parental involvement or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This item is hidden in the Consent Agenda’s financial reports. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘I demand the Board pull Purchase Order PO1-27-1053.1 for TadHealth Inc. from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and vote. Parents, not the school, are the arbiters of their children’s mental healthcare.’
💰 Impact: Parental Oversight of Therapy

District Pays $28,800 for ‘Capturing Kids Hearts’ SEL Program
The district is spending $28,800 on ‘Capturing Kids’ Hearts’ (PO1-27-1060.1), a well-known Social Emotional Learning (SEL) program. These programs often shift classroom focus from academics to emotional exercises and can introduce divisive concepts under the guise of relationship-building.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: This is hidden in the Consent Agenda’s financial reports. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Pull Purchase Order PO1-27-1060.1 for Capturing Kids Hearts for a separate vote. We demand the full curriculum and training materials be made public for parental review before any tax dollars are spent on SEL programs.’
💰 Impact: $28,800

District Spends $21,300 on Solution Tree Teacher Training
A payment of $21,300 is scheduled for Solution Tree (PO1-27-1032.1), a consultant known for promoting ‘Professional Learning Communities’ (PLCs). While framed as teacher collaboration, these trainings can be a vehicle for introducing controversial equity and social justice frameworks into teaching methods, bypassing parental curriculum review.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Purchase Order PO1-27-1032.1 for Solution Tree, please confirm that this training does not include any components of Critical Race Theory, equity-based grading, or other political ideologies. Parents expect teacher training to focus on academic excellence.’
💰 Impact: $21,300

Vague Title — Manual Review Required for Personnel Report
Item 24.A on the Consent Agenda is for the ‘Personnel Report,’ but the actual report document was not included in the agenda packet. These reports can contain approvals for new positions, such as DEI or SEL coordinators, that are not explicitly announced.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘Personnel Report – October 12, 2026.pdf’ attached to Item 24.A in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains hiring for ideological roles like ‘DEI Coordinator’ or ‘SEL Specialist’.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Hires

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
District Approves Spending on IXL Learning Software
The Purchase Order report (PO1-27-1029.1) includes a $2,700 payment for IXL Learning, a student-facing educational software. The district has not provided evidence that this program produces academic gains that justify more screen time for students, nor has it stated what direct instruction time it will replace.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Before approving PO1-27-1029.1 for IXL Learning, please publish the independent, non-vendor-funded evidence of its academic effectiveness and the total daily screen time it will add for a typical student. Parents deserve proof of value before our kids are put on screens.’
💰 Impact: Student Screen Time

| ALERT (LEVEL 3) |
|
District to Spend $17,900 on Murals with Ideological Messaging
Item 21.C approves a $17,900 contract for murals at Dulles Elementary School. The themes include ‘You Belong Here,’ a phrase commonly used to promote DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) initiatives in schools, potentially at the expense of more unifying, academic, or patriotic themes.
Recommended Action Plan
Monitor: This is a small item, but it’s part of a pattern. Track how phrases like ‘belonging’ are used in the district as they can be a gateway to more extensive DEI programming. No immediate action required.
💰 Impact: $17,900
