| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |

District Policy to Socially Transition Students Without Parental Consent
Under the guise of a ‘Nondiscrimination’ policy (Regulation 5145.3), the district is introducing a policy that requires staff to accept a student’s asserted gender identity, use their chosen pronouns, and grant access to opposite-sex facilities, all based on the student’s request alone. The policy explicitly treats this information as ‘private’ from parents, allowing the school to socially transition a child in secret.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a First Reading, we can stop it before the vote in November. Sign up for public comment for Item 9.a. Email the Board via the District Office (see Official Agenda link): ‘We do not co-parent with the government. Regulation 5145.3 violates our fundamental right to direct the upbringing of our children. Vote NO on this policy.’
💰 Impact: Secret Social Transition

Public Comment Time Capped at 20 Minutes Per Item
The board is limiting total public comment on any single issue to 20 minutes. This rule could be used to shut down parent feedback on controversial topics if more than a handful of parents sign up to speak.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND YOUR RIGHT TO BE HEARD: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask the Board President: ‘Regarding Item 3, will you commit to extending the 20-minute total comment time on controversial issues to ensure every parent who signs up gets to speak?’
💰 Impact: Silencing Parent Voices

Vague ‘SELPA DIS Agreement’ — Manual Review Required
The board is voting to approve a services agreement with the county under the Special Education Local Plan Area (SELPA). The specific services, costs, and parental consent requirements are unknown because the contract attachment was not included in the provided agenda packet.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘Edison School District SELPA DIS Agreement MOU Contract Number 27360998’ attached to Item 8.a in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes regarding student services or parental consent.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Services

$43k Library Book Purchase with No Public Book List
The board is approving a $43,224.38 purchase of library books from vendor Follett. The specific list of books being purchased has not been made public, preventing parents from reviewing the materials for age-appropriateness or ideological content before the vote.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board via the District Office (see Official Agenda link): ‘Before approving the $43,224.38 expenditure for library books in Item 8.k, please publish the complete list of titles being purchased for public review.’
💰 Impact: $43,224.38

| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |

District Adopting ‘Whole Child’ Philosophy
The board is set to approve Board Policy 0100, which formally adopts a ‘whole child’ philosophy. This language is often used to justify expanding the school’s role beyond academics into the social, emotional, and health domains of a child’s life, areas that are the primary responsibility of parents.
Recommended Action Plan
PUT THEM ON NOTICE: Email the Board via the District Office (see Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item 8.f, the school’s job is to teach academics, not to address the ‘whole child.’ Parents are responsible for their child’s social and emotional well-being. Please amend Policy 0100 to focus on academic excellence.’
💰 Impact: Mission Creep

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
District Implementing ‘MTSS’ Framework
The district is reporting on its Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) program. While often presented as academic support, MTSS can be a vehicle for collecting non-academic student data and implementing SEL or behavioral interventions without full parental transparency.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask: ‘Regarding the MTSS report under item 6.g, what specific non-academic data is collected on students in Tier 2 and Tier 3 interventions, who has access to it, and what is the specific opt-out process for parents?’
💰 Impact: Student Data Collection
