Heads up! We have scanned the upcoming agenda for Glendora Unified. We found 6 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |
|
District to Approve Known Social-Emotional Learning Vendor
Item 8.7 on the Consent Agenda approves a contract with ‘Character Strong, Tier 2.’ Character Strong is a major national vendor of Social Emotional Learning (SEL) curriculum, and ‘Tier 2’ refers to targeted behavioral and emotional interventions for specific students, often identified through screening. This is a direct pipeline for replacing academics with psychological programming.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a critical threat. Email the Board of Education (see district website for contacts) and attend the meeting. Demand that ‘Item 8.7, Character Strong,’ be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a full discussion and a public roll-call vote. Ask them: ‘Why are we spending money on SEL instead of core academics? We do not consent to psychological experiments on our children.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed SEL Program

| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
School Expanding into ‘Family Wrap’ Services
Item 8.6 approves an agreement with Raincross Behavioral and Psychological Services for ‘Family Wrap services.’ ‘Wraparound services’ is a model that allows the school to coordinate outside agencies to provide services to students and their families, often collecting sensitive data and operating without direct parental oversight. The attachment detailing this agreement was not included in the agenda packet.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Education and demand ‘Item 8.6’ be pulled from the Consent Agenda. Ask them to publicly explain what ‘Family Wrap services’ entails, what specific data will be collected on students and families, who it will be shared with, and what the parental consent and opt-out rights are before any vote is taken.
💰 Impact: Your Family’s Privacy

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
District Hires ‘Global Citizenship’ Consultant
Item 8.8 approves a consultant named ‘2Teach Global.’ This name strongly suggests the promotion of ‘Global Citizenship’ curriculum, which often prioritizes international political and social agendas (like climate change and social justice) over foundational American civics and history. The contract and cost estimate were referenced but not provided in the agenda packet.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Email the Board of Education to pull ‘Item 8.8’ from the Consent Agenda. Ask: ‘What specific curriculum and viewpoints will the 2Teach Global consultant be promoting in our classrooms? Parents have a right to review these materials before you approve this contract.’ The official agenda link may contain the attachments for review.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed

| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
New ‘Digital Citizenship’ Policy Opens Door to Ideology
Item 5.2 is a resolution adopting a ‘Digital Citizenship’ framework. While it talks about safety, it also uses vague, ideological language like ‘interconnected global society,’ ‘digital equity,’ and using tech to ‘improve our society,’ which can be used to justify teaching political activism. This resolution creates the policy justification for future ideological curriculum purchases.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND CLARITY: Email the Board of Education regarding ‘Resolution #26-27-03.’ Ask them to clarify: ‘What specific curriculum will be used to teach these Digital Citizenship pillars, and will parents have the right to review all materials and opt their children out of any lessons that stray from technology skills into social or political commentary?’
💰 Impact: Ideological Framing of Tech Use

| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Vague Consultant Contracts on Consent Agenda
Items 8.4 and 8.5 are consent agenda approvals for consultants ‘Andre van Rooyen, Ph.D.’ and ‘Christina Darden’ with no description of the services they will provide. The attachments that would explain their roles were not included in the public agenda packet. This lack of transparency makes it impossible for parents to know what services or programs are being approved.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Email the Board of Education and ask that ‘Items 8.4 and 8.5’ be pulled from the Consent Agenda for public discussion. The attachments may be available in the official agenda link. Ask the Board to state for the record what services these consultants are being paid to provide before voting.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Consultant Hired to Develop Local History Curriculum
Item 8.3 approves a $3,500 contract for consultant Rebecca Valbuena to develop a third-grade local history curriculum. While the goal is neutral, curriculum development is a key point where ideological narratives can be inserted. This requires monitoring to ensure the focus remains on factual local history, not activism or revisionism.
Recommended Action Plan
MONITOR & REQUEST REVIEW: Email the Board of Education regarding ‘Item 8.3.’ State your support for teaching local history and request that ‘the final curriculum developed by this consultant be made available for public parental review and comment before it is implemented in classrooms.’
💰 Impact: $3,500 (Federal Strings Attached)
