District Expands Sex Ed Survey Contract to $160k
The board is approving a $60,000 amendment to a contract with James Marshall Consulting Inc., bringing the total to $160,000 for ‘survey activities for the District’s Sexual Health Education Program.’ This expands data collection from students about sensitive sexual health topics without parental review of the survey questions.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: This is about data-mining your child on sensitive topics. Email Callie Harrington at charrington@sandi.net and the Board at board@sandi.net: ‘Regarding Consent Item I.2, what are the specific questions on this survey? We demand to see the survey and the parental opt-out forms before this contract is expanded.’
💰 Impact: $160,000

Resolution Pushes ‘Queer Filipinx Studies’ Into Classrooms
The resolution for Filipino American History Month (Item C.2) encourages teachers to incorporate specific political topics, including ‘the impact of American Imperialism,’ ‘queer Filipinx studies,’ and using the gender-neutral term ‘Filipinx.’ This uses a cultural celebration to push contested political and gender theories into the classroom, replacing history with activism.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This isn’t about history; it’s about ideology. Email the Board at board@sandi.net and sign up to speak against Item C.2. ‘Parents want history taught, not activism. Keep gender ideology and political grievances out of our children’s classrooms.’
💰 Impact: Replacing History with Activism

Board Seeks to Appoint, Not Elect, Replacements
The board is voting on a new process (Item H.1) to fill future board vacancies by appointment, rather than by a special election. This process would allow the remaining board members to select a replacement, bypassing a direct vote from the parents and taxpayers in that subdistrict.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND A VOTE: Your right to elect your representative is at stake. Email the Board at board@sandi.net before the meeting: ‘Do not replace our vote with your appointment. We demand the right to elect our school board members. Vote NO on Item H.1.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Voter Power

District to Pay $470k in Secret Legal Settlements
The board is ratifying $470,168 in ‘Due Process Settlement Agreements’ under Consent Item I.6. The agenda provides only case numbers and dollar amounts, with no explanation of the issues being settled, hiding the reasons for these significant taxpayer-funded payouts.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY: Why is the district paying out nearly half a million dollars in secret settlements? Email Brian Spry at bspry@sandi.net and the Board at board@sandi.net: ‘Regarding Consent Item I.6, taxpayers deserve to know why they are funding $470,168 in legal settlements. We demand a public report on the nature of these cases.’
💰 Impact: $470,168

$480k Contract for ‘Teacher Capacity’ Training
The board is ratifying a 5-year, $479,947 contract with Internationals Network for Public Schools Inc. for professional development to ‘strengthen school leadership’ and ‘teacher capacity.’ This type of training is a common vehicle for introducing DEI and other ideological frameworks to teachers, funded by federal Title III and refugee grants.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: This is a large, vague contract. Email Callie Harrington at charrington@sandi.net and the Board at board@sandi.net: ‘Regarding Consent Item I.2, please pull the Internationals Network contract for discussion. What specific ideological frameworks, such as DEI or anti-racism, are included in this ‘teacher capacity’ training?’
💰 Impact: $479,947 (Federal Strings Attached)

$214k for Teacher Training on ‘Inclusion’
The board is approving a $100,000 amendment, for a new total of $214,000, for ADAC, Inc. to provide professional development on topics including ‘inclusion’ and ‘intervention.’ These terms are often euphemisms for DEI and MTSS frameworks that can lead to social engineering in the classroom.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email Callie Harrington at charrington@sandi.net and the Board at board@sandi.net: ‘Regarding Consent Item I.2, please pull the ADAC, Inc. contract. What specific curriculum and frameworks are being taught to our teachers under the banner of ‘inclusion’?’

Board to Accept $53.5M in New State Funds
The board is voting to accept and budget over $53 million in new funding, including $16.2M in LCFF funds and $37.1M for ‘Special Education Personnel.’ These large, vaguely-defined pots of money can be used to fund ideological programs and positions without specific parental oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
FOLLOW THE MONEY: Email Alicia Rolfe at arolfe@sandi.net and the Board at board@sandi.net: ‘Regarding Item I.14, before accepting $53.5M in new funds, the board must provide a detailed, line-item plan for how this money will be spent to improve core academics, not to expand bureaucracy or ideological programs.’
💰 Impact: $53.5M (Strings Attached)

District Expands Student Internship Tracking Software
The board is approving an amendment to expand the use of ‘student internship tracking software’ from Big Picture Learning at three high schools. The district has not provided evidence that this software is effective or what data it collects on students and their work placements.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND EVIDENCE: Email Callie Harrington at charrington@sandi.net and the Board at board@sandi.net: ‘Regarding Consent Item I.2, before approving the Big Picture Learning software, please publish evidence of its academic effectiveness and a full accounting of the student data it collects and shares. What does this screen time replace?’
💰 Impact: Student Data Privacy

District to Spend $28,000 on ‘Mindful Murals’
The consent agenda includes a $28,000 contract for ‘Mindful Murals’ at Knox Middle School. The term ‘mindful’ is often associated with Social Emotional Learning (SEL) practices, potentially embedding these concepts into the school’s physical environment.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email Callie Harrington at charrington@sandi.net and the Board at board@sandi.net: ‘Regarding Consent Item I.1.1, please pull this item for discussion. What is a ‘Mindful Mural’ and how does it relate to academic instruction? Parents deserve to see the proposed designs before $28,000 is spent.’
💰 Impact: $28,000

| ALERT (LEVEL 2) |
|
Vague ‘Land Acknowledgement’ Video on Agenda
The agenda opens with a ‘Land Acknowledgement’ video (Item A.3), but the video itself was not included in the public meeting packet. Without being able to review the content, parents cannot know if it contains politically charged or divisive language.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached to Item A.3 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains politically charged or divisive content before the meeting.
💰 Impact: Ideological Priming
