Final Vote on Undisclosed Policy Changes
The board is holding a final vote (2nd Reading) on changes to key policies under item VIII.i, including ‘Education Records Access’ (506.1) and ‘Student Library Circulation Records’ (506.4). The actual text of these changes has not been provided in the agenda, preventing parents from reviewing them before they become official policy.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board to demand that Item VIII.i be tabled until the full text of the proposed policy changes is posted for public review. Parents have a right to see what the district is changing about their access to student records before a final vote.
💰 Impact: Your Right to Know

Vague Union Agreement — Manual Review Required
The board is reviewing a ‘joint statement’ with the UNIFAC employee union under item VI.ii, but the text of the statement is not included in the agenda packet. This document could contain agreements on teacher training, curriculum, or other policies that impact the classroom without public review.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached to Item VI.ii in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm what the district has agreed to with the union. Email the Board and demand that any policy changes resulting from this statement be brought for a separate public vote.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Policy Changes

Title IX Rules Moved from Public Policy to Internal Manual
Under item VIII.iv, the board is rescinding regulations related to Policy 106, claiming the information has been moved into the ‘Title IX Manual.’ This action could reduce transparency by moving important rules from a publicly voted-on policy document into an administrative manual that is harder for parents to track and scrutinize.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board: ‘Before voting on Item VIII.iv, please provide the public with a copy of the new Title IX Manual. Parents deserve to see the new rules before the old, public-facing ones are eliminated.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Transparency

| Major Win (LEVEL 7) |
|
New Policy Protects Religious Expression
The board is introducing a new policy, Policy 107, to explicitly protect religious expression for both students and staff. This policy, based on state law, affirms the rights of students and staff to express their religious beliefs, practices, and speech in the school setting.
How to Lock It In
AMPLIFY THIS WIN: Show up to thank the Board during public comment for introducing Policy 107. Publicly supporting this ensures it passes without being weakened and creates a model for other districts to follow.
✅ Why It Matters: Protecting First Amendment Rights
