Heads up! We have scanned the upcoming agenda for Arcadia Unified. We found 6 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Ideological Programs Embedded in School Plans
The School Plans for Student Achievement (SPSA) for multiple elementary schools explicitly state they are implementing ideological programs like Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS), and Restorative Practices. These programs often shift focus from core academics to subjective social and emotional metrics and can be used to collect sensitive data on students.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY: Email the Board (see official agenda for contact info): ‘Regarding Item IV.e, what specific, non-vendor-funded evidence proves that SEL, MTSS, and Restorative Practices improve academic outcomes? Parents deserve to see the data before our schools are transformed.’
💰 Impact: Focus Shift From Academics

Board Severely Restricts Public Comment Time
The board’s agenda allocates a total of only fifteen (15) minutes for all public comments combined. This policy effectively silences parents by preventing any meaningful opportunity for the community to voice concerns or hold the board accountable on important issues.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TO BE HEARD: Email the Board (see official agenda for contact info): ‘Item I.g. must be changed. A 15-minute total time limit for public comment is an insult to this community. We demand you expand public comment to allow for genuine parental feedback.’
💰 Impact: Silencing Parents

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The board is holding a study session on a ‘Behavior Response Team (BRT).’ The attachments explaining what this team is and what it does were not available for analysis, but such teams are often used to implement SEL, Restorative Practices, or other behavioral interventions that may bypass parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) under Item V.a to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Student Interventions

District to Administer ‘CA Healthy Kids Survey’
Under the Consent Agenda, the district is paying WestEd $1,829 to administer the California Healthy Kids Survey (CHKS). These surveys are known for asking students invasive questions about their mental health, home life, and personal behaviors without full parental transparency.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the Board (see official agenda for contact info): ‘Regarding Purchase Order 270000001206, I demand to see the full survey given to students and receive the specific parental opt-out form before this is voted on. This survey must be opt-in only.’
💰 Impact: $1,829.20
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Staff Training at ‘School Climate Conference’
The district is spending $799 for staff to attend a ‘School Climate Conference.’ These events often promote Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and other ideological frameworks that replace academics with social engineering.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Email the Board (see official agenda for contact info): ‘Regarding Purchase Order 270000001186, what specific ideological frameworks will be taught at this conference, and how will they be implemented in our classrooms? Parents have a right to know.’
💰 Impact: $799.00
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
District Expanding EdTech Software (IXL)
The district is purchasing 50 additional student licenses for IXL Learning software. The board must provide independent, non-vendor-funded evidence that this product improves academic outcomes and disclose how much daily screen time it adds for students before approving the purchase.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND PROOF: Email the Board (see official agenda for contact info): ‘Before voting on Purchase Order 270000001151 for IXL, please publish the independent evidence of its academic effectiveness and state the total daily screen time it adds for a typical student.’
💰 Impact: $700.00
