Board Restricts Parent Voice with 2-Minute Comment Limit
The board is enforcing a strict two-minute time limit for all public comments, with a total cap of one hour for the entire community. This policy is designed to limit parental input and prevent the board from having to face meaningful public accountability.
Recommended Action Plan
Sign up for public comment under Item 3.G and use your two minutes to demand the board remove these restrictive time limits. Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Meaningful public engagement is not possible in two-minute increments. I demand you restore a reasonable time for parents to address their elected officials.’

‘Global Citizenship’ Policy Pushes Social-Emotional Agenda
The Board is reviewing its ‘Global Citizenship’ policy, which already includes teaching ‘social and emotional skills.’ The proposed templates for modification add ideologically charged concepts like ‘cultural competency’ and teaching students how to ‘advocate for change,’ shifting focus from core academics to social activism.
Recommended Action Plan
This is a work session, so now is the time to influence policy before it’s written. Speak during public comment on Item 3.G and contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Regarding Item 3.D, I urge you to reject any policy that prioritizes ‘Global Citizenship’ or ‘social emotional skills’ over academic excellence. Our schools must focus on core subjects, not on teaching students to be activists.’
💰 Impact: Academics Replaced by Activism

Poor Academic Data May Justify Student Surveillance
The board is reviewing school data that highlights a ‘chronic absenteeism’ rate of over 50% at Mitchell K-8. This kind of data is often used as a pretext to justify increased student surveillance and intrusive interventions like home visits, shifting the school’s focus from education to monitoring families.
Recommended Action Plan
During public comment on Item 3.G, ask the Board about Item 3.E: ‘What specific, non-intrusive academic supports are being implemented to address the root causes of absenteeism at Mitchell School? Parents expect a focus on academic recovery, not family surveillance.’
