District Approves “Intensive Home Visitor” Job
The board is approving a job description for an ‘Early Education Advocate’ under item 4.5, but the agenda’s file name reveals the original title was ‘Intensive Home Visitor-Bilingual.’ This creates a district position designed to enter students’ homes, which could lead to surveillance of family life and undermine parental authority under the guise of providing support.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The job description for Item 4.5, ‘Early Education Advocate,’ is not public in the agenda. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘What are the specific duties of the Intensive Home Visitor role in Item 4.5? Parents have a right to know if district staff will be entering private homes and what data they will collect before you approve this position.’

Board to Approve “Family Advocate” Position
The board is approving a revised job description for a ‘Family Advocate’ (Item 4.4). These roles often act as liaisons for social services and can be used to push district programs and survey families, potentially infringing on parental rights.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: The job description for Item 4.4, ‘Family Advocate,’ is not included in the public agenda. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Before voting on Item 4.4, please publish the full job description for the Family Advocate. Parents must be able to see the duties and scope of this role.’

District Creates “Community Health Worker” Role
The district is ratifying an agreement for ‘Community Health Worker Training’ (Item 4.2). This role could be a pathway for school-based health services or home visits that operate outside of direct parental oversight, collecting sensitive information on students and families.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The details for Item 4.2, ‘Community Health Worker Training,’ are in a document not attached to the public agenda. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘What training will the Community Health Worker receive under Item 4.2, and will this role involve student health services or home visits without parental presence? We demand clarity before this is ratified.’
💰 Impact: Parental Oversight

District Pays for Undisclosed Telehealth Services
Buried in the vendor payments under Consent Item 2.3 is a $2,000 payment to ‘TELEHEALTHDOCS MEDICAL GROUP’ for ‘TELEHEALTH SERVICES.’ This raises questions about what medical services are being offered to students, under what circumstances, and whether parental consent and presence are required for every interaction.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘I demand the payment to TELEHEALTHDOCS MEDICAL GROUP in Consent Item 2.3 be pulled for a separate discussion. What specific services does this vendor provide to students, and what is the district’s policy for ensuring parental consent for any telehealth appointment?’
💰 Impact: $2,000

District Spends Over $20,000 on Screen-Based Software
The vendor payment list (Item 2.3) includes over $19,000 to ‘TinyEYE’ for online speech therapy and over $1,600 to ‘Learning Genie Inc’ for software. The district has not provided evidence that these screen-based programs are more effective than direct, in-person instruction or what they are replacing in the school day.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND EVIDENCE: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the payments to TinyEYE and Learning Genie Inc in Consent Item 2.3, please publish the independent, non-vendor-funded evidence showing these products produce academic gains, and state how much daily screen time they add for a typical student before approving these payments.’
💰 Impact: $20,919+

Final Vote on Undisclosed Board Policy Changes
The Board is taking a final vote on a batch of policy updates (Item 6.1), but the actual text of the policies is not included in the public agenda packet. This prevents parents from reviewing potentially significant changes to rules governing curriculum, student rights, or parental involvement before they become official.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘August BP Updates FINAL.pdf’ attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes. If it does, email the Board (contact info on district website) and demand they postpone the vote on Item 6.1 until parents have had adequate time for review.
💰 Impact: Reduced Transparency
