| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |

Vague Policy on School Credits Hidden in Consent Agenda
The board plans to pass ‘Policy 5463: Credits from Public and Nonpublic Schools’ without discussion by hiding it in the Consent Agenda. The district has not provided the text of this policy, which could impact how credits are accepted from homeschool, private, or other public schools, potentially limiting options for families.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board immediately (see the Official Agenda link for contacts). ‘Pull Item 6.C from the Consent Agenda. Parents demand to see the full text of Policy 5463 and have a public discussion before any vote is taken on a policy affecting school choice.’
💰 Impact: Reduced School Choice

New ‘Leadership’ Course Appears to be SEL
The district is proposing a new ‘Leadership Development’ course that is not about traditional leadership but focuses on ‘responsible personal and social behavior,’ ‘teamwork,’ and ‘conflict resolution.’ This is Social Emotional Learning (SEL) repackaged, shifting classroom time from academics to subjective social skills.
Recommended Action Plan
QUESTION THE CURRICULUM: This is a ‘1st Read’ — our chance to stop it. Email the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contacts): ‘Regarding Item 9.A, what is the specific curriculum for the ‘Leadership Development’ course? Parents have a right to know if this is a Social Emotional Learning program before it is approved.’
💰 Impact: Academics Replaced with SEL

Strict Rules Limit Parent Voice at Board Meetings
The board’s public comment rules, detailed in Item 5, limit each parent to 3 minutes and cap the entire public session at 30 minutes. The board president has the power to cut off any speaker for being ‘irrelevant’ or ‘personally directed,’ which can be used to silence criticism and prevent real accountability.
Recommended Action Plan
KNOW THE RULES & SPEAK UP: Arrive early to sign up for public comment under Item 5. Keep your comments focused and under 3 minutes to avoid being cut off. We must use every second they give us to hold them accountable on the record.
💰 Impact: Suppressed Public Comment

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
School Trips Framed with ‘Global Citizenship’ Ideology
The district is approving international and domestic travel for students, justifying it with the goal of developing a ‘sense of global citizenship.’ This language often signals a curriculum that prioritizes a specific political and social worldview over neutral cultural education.
Recommended Action Plan
Email the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contacts): ‘Regarding Item 9.D, student travel is a great opportunity. Please ensure the educational focus remains on language, history, and culture, not on promoting a political ‘global citizenship’ agenda.’
💰 Impact: Ideological Framing
