District Approving ‘Equity’ Consultant Contract
The board plans to approve a contract with Loyola Marymount University’s ‘Center for Equity for English Learners’ (CEEL) under the consent agenda. ‘Equity’ is often a trojan horse for ideologically-driven teacher training and curriculum based on Critical Race Theory.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘Loyola Marymount University CEEL EDS 2026-27-060.pdf’ attached to Item 12.E in the Official Agenda to confirm the contract’s scope and cost. Email the Board (see Official Agenda link): ‘Pull Consent Item 12.E for a separate discussion and vote. We oppose spending taxpayer money on ideological ‘equity’ consultants.’
💰 Impact: Ideological Training

Massive Policy Bundle Hides Potential Changes
The board is reviewing a massive bundle of 25 different policies in Item 7.C, including a ‘Suicide Prevention’ policy (BP 5141.52). These policies often contain language that allows for mental health screenings or interventions without full, prior, written parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attachments for Item 7.C in the Official Agenda, specifically ‘Policy 5141.52 Suicide Prevention.pdf’. Check for any language about mental health screenings, surveys, or interventions that don’t require prior written parental consent.
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

Contracts for Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Vendors
The consent agenda includes contracts with psychologist Dr. Charity Plaxton-Hennings (Item 13.D) and ‘Right Solutions Foundation’ (Item 13.H), which provides social-emotional support. These agreements can open the door to school-based therapy and SEL programs that operate outside of parental oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the files for Items 13.D and 13.H in the Official Agenda. Email the Board (see Official Agenda link): ‘Pull Consent Items 13.D and 13.H for a full discussion. What services will these vendors provide to students, and what are the specific parental notification and consent procedures?’
💰 Impact: Bypassing Parental Consent

New Rule Caps Parent Speaking Time
The board is enforcing a 20-minute total time limit for public comment on any single agenda item. This means if more than six parents sign up to speak for their allotted 3 minutes on a controversial topic, some will be silenced before they get a chance to speak.
Recommended Action Plan
Sign up early for public comment. Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘The 20-minute total time limit on public comment per item silences parents. We demand every parent who signs up to speak be heard, regardless of this arbitrary time limit.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Parent Voice

New Student Data Sharing Agreement on Consent
Buried in the consent agenda, Item 12.A approves a ‘Data Sharing Memorandum of Understanding’ with the K-12 Strong Workforce Program. Parents have a right to know exactly what student data is being shared, with whom, and for what purpose before the district signs it away.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (see Official Agenda link): ‘Pull Consent Item 12.A for a separate discussion and vote. Parents deserve to know exactly what student data will be shared under this agreement before it is approved.’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Data

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Renewal of Student Surveillance Software
The district is renewing ‘SmartPass’ (Item 12.G), a digital hall pass system that tracks students’ movements outside the classroom. Has the district provided any evidence this surveillance tool improves academic outcomes, or is it just another screen-time product that collects student data?
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND EVIDENCE: Email the Board (see Official Agenda link): ‘Before renewing the SmartPass contract under Item 12.G, please publish the independent evidence showing it improves academic outcomes and detail what student data it collects. Parents deserve to know if this surveillance system is worth the cost and the loss of privacy.’
💰 Impact: Student Privacy & Data

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
District to Pay Student Board Member
The board is proposing to pay the student board member a monthly stipend and a scholarship under Bylaw 9150. This could turn the student into a paid representative of the district’s agenda, rather than an independent voice for students.
Recommended Action Plan
Email the Board (see Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item 7.B, student board members should be independent voices, not paid employees. Vote NO on compensating this position; it creates a conflict of interest.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Stipend
