Board Puts $33M Project with Controversial Turf Field to a Vote
The Board is asking voters to approve a $33 million capital project, which includes the construction of a new synthetic turf athletic field. The district’s own environmental review documents acknowledge and discuss potential health concerns related to these fields, including crumb rubber infill, heat stress, and chemicals like PFAS.
Recommended Action Plan
ATTEND & QUESTION: The public vote on this $33M project is December 15, 2026. Before then, email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item 7.C, what independent, non-industry studies can you provide that prove the long-term safety of the specific synthetic turf product you plan to install? Parents deserve to know before voting on this $33M bond.’
💰 Impact: Potential Student Health Risks

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Board Restricts Public Comment to Two Minutes
The agenda states a strict two-minute time limit for public comments. This severely limits the ability of parents to voice their concerns, ask meaningful questions, and hold the board accountable on complex issues affecting their children.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TO BE HEARD: Sign up for public comment to address Item 4.A. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘A two-minute time limit is not sufficient for public input on important issues. We demand you restore a reasonable time for public comment to ensure parental voices are heard.’
💰 Impact: Silencing Parental Voice

District Spends $51k on Mystery Reading Program
Budget documents show the district is spending at least $51,650 on a ‘New Reading Program.’ However, the agenda and attachments fail to name the curriculum or vendor, preventing parents from reviewing it for academic quality or ideological content like SEL.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Budget Transfers 3618 and 3622 for the ‘New Reading Program,’ what is the name of this curriculum and vendor? Parents have a right to review all instructional materials before they are purchased with our tax dollars.’
💰 Impact: $51,650

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |

District Approves Purchase of Unvetted ‘THNK TECH’ Software
The district is spending $7,660 on software from a vendor called ‘THNK TECH,’ found in the August budget transfers. The agenda provides no information on what this software does, if it’s for students, what data it collects, or its educational value.
Recommended Action Plan
VERIFY THIS VENDOR: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Budget Transfer 3644, what is THNK TECH software? Is it student-facing, what data does it collect, and what is the parental opt-out process? Please provide this information before approving the purchase.’
💰 Impact: Student Data Privacy?

| ALERT (LEVEL 3) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The board is set to approve a ‘Buy Board Agreement,’ a purchasing cooperative that can allow the district to acquire goods and services without a typical public bid process. The actual agreement was not attached to the agenda, so parents cannot see what the district intends to buy through this channel.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file for Item 3.Q.1, ‘Buy Board Agreement,’ attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm what this purchasing agreement allows. This item should be pulled from the consent agenda for a full discussion.
💰 Impact: Bypassing Public Scrutiny
