| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
Multiple Policy Changes Hidden from Public View
The Board is scheduled to vote on or review major changes to district policies, including Health Benefits (J.1), Conflict of Interest (J.2), and High School Graduation Requirements (J.5). However, the text of these new policies has not been provided to the public, making scrutiny impossible.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND A DELAY: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Do not vote on any policy revisions in Agenda Items J.1 through J.5 until the full text of the proposed changes has been made public for at least 72 hours. Voting on secret policies is a violation of public trust.’
💰 Impact: No Public Oversight

Board to Rubber-Stamp $264,000 Student Placement
Hidden on the consent agenda, Item G.2 approves spending $264,000 for a single student’s placement in an out-of-state residential treatment center. This massive, sensitive expenditure should not be passed without a full, public discussion and roll-call vote.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘I demand that Consent Item G.2 be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. Parents deserve to know why the district is spending $264,000 on an out-of-state facility before it is approved.’
💰 Impact: $264,000

| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Blank Check for Undisclosed District Contractors
Item I.2 on the consent agenda asks the Board to approve a list of ‘contracted services,’ but the actual list of vendors and costs is missing from the agenda packet. This prevents parents from seeing if their tax dollars are going to controversial ideological consultants or SEL providers.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘Contracted Services.pdf’ attached to Item I.2 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm which vendors are being paid. If controversial vendors are listed, email the Board immediately demanding the item be pulled from consent for a public vote.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Vendor Contracts

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
E-Comments Silenced at Board Meetings
The district accepts e-comments but explicitly states they ‘will not be read aloud during the meeting.’ This policy effectively silences parents and community members who cannot attend in person, limiting public input to only those physically present.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TO BE HEARD: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘I demand that all public e-comments be read into the public record during the meeting, just like in-person comments. Silencing remote participation is unacceptable and violates the spirit of open meeting laws.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Public Input
|
| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Staff Training with Equity-Focused Groups
Item G.1 approves spending for staff to attend multiple conferences, including those focused on ‘Project-Based Learning’ for ‘students furthest from opportunity’ and the ‘PLC’ model from Solution Tree. These are often channels for introducing equity and SEL-focused teaching methods into the classroom, paid for with federal Title I funds.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE QUESTION: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding the conferences in Item G.1, what specific SEL or DEI frameworks will staff be trained on, and will those materials be made available for parental review before being implemented in our schools?’
💰 Impact: Federal Strings Attached
