District Normalizing Social-Emotional Jargon
An official list of district acronyms confirms the use of numerous Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and surveillance terms, including ‘DEI’ (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion), ‘MTSS’ (Multi-Tiered Systems of Support), and ‘RULER’ (a specific SEL curriculum). These concepts are being actively taught to parent committee members, embedding social agendas into the district’s core vocabulary and operations.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link for details) and ask: ‘The DAC meeting packet references the ‘RULER’ SEL program. When was this curriculum approved, what is the annual cost, and what is the specific process for parents to opt their children out?’
💰 Impact: Replacing Academics

District Questioned on EdTech Screen Time Product
A ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ document included in the agenda packet shows the district is fielding questions about adopting IXL Learning, a student-facing software. The question rightly asks for evidence that the product improves academic outcomes, a crucial step often skipped by districts before spending money on EdTech that increases student screen time.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Before any vote on IXL Learning, we demand the district publish independent, non-vendor-funded evidence of its academic effectiveness and a report on the total daily screen time it will add for students.’
💰 Impact: Unproven Academic Value

Federal Education Law Briefing Hides Details
Under Item 5, the District Accountability Committee will receive a presentation on the ‘Every Student Succeeds Act’ (ESSA). This federal law often comes with mandates for data collection, specific interventions like MTSS, and ‘equity’ initiatives that can override local control and parental input.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Regarding DAC Agenda Item 5, please post the ‘Every Student Succeeds Act’ presentation online for public review at least 48 hours before the meeting. Parents have a right to see what federal mandates the district is considering.’
💰 Impact: Federal Strings Attached
