| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |
|
New Policy Adds ‘Reproductive Health’ and ‘Gender Identity’
Under Item 7.1, the board is voting on Policy 0410, a ‘Nondiscrimination’ policy. The new language adds ‘gender identity,’ ‘gender expression,’ and ‘reproductive health decision-making’ as protected categories, which can be used to justify social transitioning and providing sensitive health services to students without parental knowledge or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a critical threat to parental rights. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘I demand you vote NO on the proposed changes to Policy 0410 under Item 7.1. This policy opens the door to social transitioning and health decisions for my child without my consent.’
💰 Impact: Bypassing Parental Consent

| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |

Vote on 30+ Hidden Policy Changes
Item 7.1 bundles the approval of dozens of updated board policies, but the actual text for most of them is not included in the public agenda packet. These policies cover highly sensitive topics like curriculum, instructional materials, library books, and staff development, preventing any meaningful public review before the vote.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Postpone the vote on Item 7.1. Parents have a right to read the 30+ policies you intend to pass, and we need at least 30 days for public review before you take any action.’
💰 Impact: Hidden Policy Changes

District Spending $103k on More Elementary Screen Time
The board plans to approve a $102,835.04 purchase of 224 Chromebooks for elementary students under Consent Item 14.4. The district has provided no independent evidence that this ‘intervention model’ improves academic outcomes, and it replaces valuable instruction time with more screen time.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND EVIDENCE: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Before approving the $103k Chromebook purchase in Item 14.4, please provide public evidence that this program produces academic gains and state exactly how much daily screen time this adds for an elementary student.’
💰 Impact: $102,835.04

Board Limits Public Comment Time to 30 Minutes
Under Item 6.6, the board’s rules state they will ‘limit the total time for public input to 30 minutes.’ This is a tactic to silence parents by ensuring that if more than 10 people sign up to speak for their allotted three minutes, some will be shut out of the main meeting.
Recommended Action Plan
DEFEND YOUR VOICE: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Your 30-minute total time limit for public comment under Item 6.6 is unacceptable. We demand you remove this arbitrary cap and allow every parent who signs up the chance to speak.’
💰 Impact: Silencing Parents’ Voices

Board Using Public Platform for Political Lobbying
Meeting minutes from September 15 show the board passed Resolution #12, officially taking a position of ‘Support of Proposition 3.’ The school board’s job is to focus on education within the district, not to use its taxpayer-funded platform to lobby for or against external state legislation.
Recommended Action Plan
AWARENESS & ACCOUNTABILITY: At the next meeting, use public comment to ask the Board why they are spending time and public resources on political advocacy for ‘Proposition 3’ instead of focusing on academic achievement. Demand they commit to neutrality on external political issues.
💰 Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying

Vague ‘Family Engagement’ Policies Hidden from Public
Item 14.5 asks the board to approve new ‘Parent and Family Engagement Policies,’ but the documents themselves were not included in the public agenda. These policies can be a trojan horse for ideological programs that redefine the family’s role, and they should not be passed without full public review.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The district is voting on ‘Parent and Family Engagement’ policies in Item 14.5, but the documents are missing. Open the files attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm they don’t undermine parental authority.
💰 Impact: Redefining ‘Parent Involvement’

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
New Counselor for ‘Alternative to Suspension’ Program
Buried in the Consent Agenda (Item 14.2), the district is hiring a counselor for an ‘Alternative to Suspension’ program. This is often code for ‘Restorative Practices,’ which replaces real consequences for misbehavior with therapy sessions, making classrooms less safe.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the new counselor in Item 14.2, what specific ‘Alternative to Suspension’ program will be used? Parents need to know if you are weakening discipline policies that keep our kids safe.’
💰 Impact: Replacing Discipline with Therapy
