Vote to Build Cell Tower at Brassfield Elementary School
The district is approving a ground lease to build a commercial cell tower on the campus of Brassfield Elementary. While the district presents this as a revenue opportunity, many parents have significant concerns about long-term radio frequency (RF) exposure for young children, as well as the tower’s impact on property values.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a vote to put a cell tower on an elementary school campus. Email the Board (contact info on the district website) before the meeting on October 20: ‘Vote NO on Item VIII.ii.g. Our children’s long-term health is not for sale. Do not place commercial cell towers on school grounds.’
💰 Impact: Cell Tower at Elementary School

Federal Grant to Fund ‘Threat Assessment’ Student Surveillance
The district is applying for a federal ‘STOP School Violence’ grant to create ‘school threat assessment teams’ and ‘anonymous reporting tools.’ While safety is the goal, these systems can lead to student surveillance and data collection, potentially flagging students for intervention without full parental knowledge or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND PARENTAL OVERSIGHT: Email the Board (contact info on the district website) regarding Grant Proposal #18627 in Consent Item VIII.iii.a: ‘What specific parental consent and notification protocols will be built into the threat assessment and anonymous reporting systems? We must have clear policies protecting student privacy and parental rights before this grant is accepted.’
💰 Impact: Student Surveillance

District Seeks Grant for ‘Competency-Based Education’
The district is applying for a state grant to implement ‘Competency-Based Education’ (CBE). This model often replaces traditional grades and academic rigor with subjective ‘mastery’ and ‘personalized pathways,’ which can lower standards and de-emphasize core knowledge.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND DETAILS: Email the Board (contact info on the district website) regarding Grant Proposal #18327 in Consent Item VIII.iii.a: ‘Before accepting funds for Competency-Based Education, the Board must present a public plan detailing how CBE will impact grading, graduation requirements, and academic rigor. Parents must be able to review this plan.’
💰 Impact: Lower Academic Standards

Board Appointing Delegates to State Lobbying Group
The Board is appointing voting delegates to the North Carolina School Boards Association (NCSBA) annual meeting. The NCSBA is a powerful lobbying group that often advocates for policies that can diminish local control and parental rights. The delegates chosen will represent our district’s voice in setting the NCSBA’s statewide political agenda.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY: Email the Board (contact info on the district website) regarding Item IX.ii.a: ‘We request that the chosen delegates commit publicly to voting against any NCSBA resolutions that undermine parental rights, expand state mandates, or reduce curriculum transparency. Their votes should represent parents, not the education bureaucracy.’
💰 Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying

District Pushes ‘Land Acknowledgments’ into Curriculum
The board is holding a recognition for Indigenous People’s Day which includes promoting ‘formal land acknowledgments.’ The district’s own summary states this is a ‘crucial opportunity to integrate’ new content into school curricula, opening the door for political activism to replace standard history lessons.
Recommended Action Plan
MONITOR: This is a ‘recognition,’ not a policy vote, but it signals the district’s intent to push specific narratives into the curriculum. Email the Board (contact info on the district website): ‘Regarding Item V.i.a, what specific curriculum changes are planned and how can parents review them before they are adopted?’
💰 Impact: Classroom Activism

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The Board is voting to approve new members to the District 5 and 7 Board Advisory Councils, but the nomination forms were not included in the provided agenda packet. These councils influence policy, and parents have a right to know who is being appointed to represent them.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) for Item VIII.v.a to confirm the identities of the proposed nominees. The public must know who is being appointed to these influential councils before the vote.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Nominees
