District Rebrands as ‘Social Enterprise,’ Shifts Focus from Academics
The Superintendent’s new ‘Enterprise & Strategic Plan’ redefines the district as a ‘social enterprise’ that prioritizes social goals over academics. The plan creates a ‘Community Impact’ division and a ‘Family Resource Center’ to offer ‘parenting activities,’ massively expanding the school’s role into family life.
Recommended Action Plan
This is a presentation, so the board isn’t voting today, but they are accepting this new direction. Parents must challenge this mission creep. Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link): ‘The district’s mission is academic excellence, not to be a social enterprise. Please reject the ‘Community Impact’ plan and refocus on reading, writing, and math.’
💰 Impact: Mission Creep Beyond Academics

District to Add ‘Gender Identity’ to Non-Discrimination Policy
In a massive policy overhaul, the district is conducting a first reading of Policy GBA, which adds ‘sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression’ as protected classes for employees. This language often sets the stage for similar policies affecting students, curriculum, and bathroom access, without direct parental input on those future changes.
Recommended Action Plan
This is the first reading of Item 3.B; the final vote is scheduled for the November 17, 2026 meeting. Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link) and speak at the meeting: ‘Vote NO on the proposed changes to Policy GBA. Do not add ideological categories that will impact our children’s education and safety.’
💰 Impact: Ideological Staff Policies

Board to Discuss ‘Student Wellness’ Goals for Superintendent in Secret
The Board is moving into a closed-door ‘Executive Session’ to discuss the Superintendent’s goals, including vague priorities like ‘Student Learning & Wellness’ and ‘Community Engagement.’ While evaluating the Superintendent is private, setting the district’s strategic goals should be done in public, not behind closed doors.
Recommended Action Plan
Demand the Board discuss the substance of the Superintendent’s goals in public session. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Parents have a right to know the district’s goals for ‘student wellness’ under Item 4.A before they are approved in a private meeting.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Transparency

New Health Policy Cedes Authority to Outside Agencies
As part of the policy overhaul in Item 3.B, the district is creating a new Health Policy (GBGA) that removes specific language and instead references ‘applicable public-health directives.’ This could allow the district to adopt new health mandates from outside agencies in the future without a specific board vote, reducing local oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
Ask the Board to amend the proposed Policy GBGA. Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Please define which ‘public-health directives’ the district is bound by and add language requiring a public board vote before any new health mandates are imposed on staff or students.’
💰 Impact: Loss of Local Control
