| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |

Teachers Rated on Use of “Anti-Stereotype” Materials
The district’s instructional monitoring report (OE-11.4) reveals that over 92% of teachers are evaluated on whether they use ‘materials and lessons that counteract stereotypes to acknowledge the contributions of all cultures.’ This forces teachers to adopt a specific political viewpoint in their classrooms and makes ideological conformity a condition of a good performance review.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: Email the Board (contact info on district website) and sign up for public comment for the Oct 22 meeting. ‘Regarding Item 6.1, the OE-11 report, teacher evaluations must be based on academic instruction, not on their use of politically charged ‘anti-stereotype’ materials. Remove this ideological metric from teacher evaluations now.’
💰 Impact: Politicized Classrooms

District Expands Student Behavior Tracking System
The district is expanding its Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) to address student ‘behavior’ alongside academics, using ‘early warning system data’ to identify students for intervention (OE-11.2). This system creates a data file on your child’s behavior and can lead to interventions without full parental knowledge or consent, treating normal childhood behavior as a problem to be managed by the school.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the MTSS program in Item 6.1, what specific behaviors are tracked in the ‘early warning system’? What are the exact parental notification and consent procedures before a child is placed in a Tier 2 or Tier 3 behavior intervention? We need answers before this report is approved.’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Behavior Profile

District Using i-Ready Software With No Public Proof It Works
The district’s instructional report (OE-11.2) confirms the use of i-Ready, a student-facing educational software. The district has not provided any independent, non-vendor-funded evidence that this program produces meaningful academic gains, nor has it disclosed how much daily screen time it adds for students.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND PROOF: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the use of i-Ready mentioned in Item 6.1, before any renewal or expansion, please publish the independent, third-party studies proving its academic effectiveness and a report on the average daily screen time it requires per student. Our children’s instructional time is not for beta-testing unproven software.’
💰 Impact: Unproven Screen Time

Mandatory “Social-Emotional” Goals for Gifted Students
The district’s instructional plan (OE-11.4) requires that 100% of gifted students have an ‘Advanced Learning Plan’ with a mandatory ‘social-emotional’ goal, in addition to an academic one. This embeds Social Emotional Learning into the core programming for high-achieving students, shifting focus from academics to subjective emotional targets.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item 6.1, the OE-11 report, I oppose mandatory social-emotional goals for gifted students. Keep the focus on academic excellence and let parents handle their children’s emotional development. Vote to amend OE-11.4.’
💰 Impact: Academics Replaced by SEL

Public Comment Rules May Silence Criticism of Officials
Under agenda item 5.1, the board’s public comment rules state that a speaker’s time will be ended for focusing ‘on an individual by name and/or position.’ While intended to prevent personal attacks, this rule could be used to shut down legitimate criticism of policy decisions made by the Superintendent or other key officials, chilling free speech.
Recommended Action Plan
DEFEND YOUR VOICE: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the public comment rules in Item 5.1, I urge you to apply them narrowly. Parents must be able to hold specific officials accountable for their policy decisions by name without being silenced. Please affirm that this rule will not be used to shield officials from public scrutiny of their official actions.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Accountability
