Federal ‘Head Start’ Program Agreement
The board is approving an agreement to run a federal Head Start program. While providing early childhood education, these federal programs often come with significant strings attached, potentially mandating specific curricula and data collection on students that limit local control.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Before the vote on Item VIII.C, contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask the board: ‘What are the specific curriculum, data sharing, and staffing mandates attached to this Head Start agreement? Will local taxpayers be on the hook for any costs when federal funding changes?’
💰 Impact: Federal Strings Attached

Vague ‘District Improvement Plan’ — Manual Review Required
The board is voting to adopt the 2026-2027 District Improvement Plan. These plans can be used to introduce controversial Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) or Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives into the curriculum without specific board votes on those topics.
Response
INVESTIGATE: The ‘District Improvement Plan’ for Item VIII.B is a public document. Contact the District Office to review the plan before the vote to ensure it focuses on academic excellence, not ideological agendas.
💰 Impact: Potential SEL/DEI Mandates
