District Launches Major ‘Belonging’ and ‘Identity’ Initiative
Under Item IX.a, the administration is launching a three-part series on ‘advancing belonging’ and reducing ‘identity-based harm.’ This is the standard playbook for introducing a district-wide DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) framework that often leads to divisive policies and curriculum changes.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is the start of a major ideological push. Attend the meeting on October 15th and sign up for public comment on Item IX.a. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Vote NO on the ‘Advancing Belonging’ initiative. Our schools must focus on academic excellence, not divisive identity-based programming.’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Classroom Focus

District Pays $15,000 for ‘Restorative Practices’ Training
The district is contracting with the Yolo Conflict Resolution Center to provide services guided by ‘restorative principles’ and to systematize ‘restorative practices.’ Restorative practices often replace traditional discipline with therapy-style talking circles, which can minimize accountability for misbehavior.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the Yolo Conflict Resolution Center contract in Item VIII.m, parents have a right to know how discipline is handled. Will this contract replace consequences for misbehavior with restorative circles, and will parents be notified and allowed to opt-out?’
💰 Impact: $15,000

District Hires $15,000 ‘Demographics’ Consultant
The district is paying SchoolWorks $15,000 for ‘Demographics & Enrollment Projections.’ These studies are often the first step toward controversial ‘equity-based’ changes to school boundaries or programs, using demographic data to socially engineer school populations.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the SchoolWorks contract in Item VIII.m, please state publicly that the results of this demographic study will not be used to implement equity-based school boundary changes or student assignment policies.’
💰 Impact: $15,000

Board Reserves Right to Limit Public Comment
The agenda states the Board may limit the total public comment time on any item to just 20 minutes. This rule could be used to shut down parent testimony on controversial topics when many people sign up to speak.
Recommended Action Plan
Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item VII, I urge you to protect public participation and not invoke the 20-minute time limit on controversial issues. Parents’ voices must be heard, not silenced by arbitrary time limits.’
💰 Impact: Your Voice

Recommended Action Plan

District Spending $11,900 on Game Design Software
The board is approving an $11,900 contract with ‘Gameplan’ for a ‘Game Design Fundamentals’ course. This adds more screen time to the school day, and the district has not provided evidence of its academic effectiveness.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the ‘Gameplan’ contract in Item VIII.m, what is the proven academic value of this software, and how much daily screen time will it require of students? Please publish this information before the vote.’
💰 Impact: $11,900

District Adopts ‘PBIS’ Behavior Management System
The district is paying Navigate360 for a ‘PBIS rewards hall pass’ system. PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) is a school-wide system for managing student behavior that often involves data collection and can be a vehicle for SEL.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the Navigate360 contract in Item VIII.m, what specific student behaviors and data will this system track? Parents must be given a clear and simple way to opt their children out of this system.’
💰 Impact: $495.00
