Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Berkley School District. We found 4 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Voting on Secret School Police Agreement
The Board is scheduled to approve a ‘School Resource Officer Agreement’ (Item 5.06) without publishing the actual agreement for parents to review. This means we have no idea what rules this officer will operate under, what their role in student discipline will be, or what student data will be shared with the police department. Approving a secret police contract is a massive transparency failure.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Education and demand Item 5.06 be tabled until the full agreement is posted publicly for parental review. Tell them: ‘We will not approve a secret police presence in our schools.’ Advise members to verify board contact details on the district website.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Unknown legal liabilities and student data-sharing provisions.

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Approving a Secret Hiring List
Under Item 5.07, ‘Tentative Personnel List,’ the Board is voting to hire an unknown number of new employees without disclosing their names or positions. This is a classic tactic to rubber-stamp controversial hires, such as DEI consultants or ‘restorative justice’ coordinators, without giving parents a chance to object. We have a right to know who is being hired to interact with our children.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Education and demand Item 5.07 be pulled from consideration until the full list of names and job titles is made public. Tell them: ‘Parents will not approve a blank check for district hiring.’ Advise members to verify board contact details on the district website.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Potential salaries for ideological staff hidden from public view.

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Vague Spending with No Public Input
The agenda lists multiple ‘Business Items’ (5.01, 5.02, 5.04) with vague titles like ‘The BEAR FF & E Consideration’ and ‘BHS Pool Tile and Natatorium Wall Scope.’ No contracts or financial documents are attached, and the agenda explicitly forbids audience discussion on these items. This prevents parents from knowing how their tax dollars are being spent and shuts them out of the accountability process.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY: Email the Board of Education. ‘I object to the Board voting on vague business items (5.01, 5.02, 5.04) with no attached documents and no opportunity for public discussion. Post all relevant contracts and financial details publicly before any vote.’ Advise members to verify board contact details on the district website.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Unknown. Could be thousands or millions in spending without any public oversight.

| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Using Tax Dollars to Subsidize Private Schools
The district is launching a business venture (Item 5.05) to send public school teachers into a private, religious school (Spiritus Sanctus Academy). The district will then collect state funding for these private school students to generate ‘net revenue.’ This diverts administrative focus and public resources away from our own schools and entangles taxpayer funds with private institutions.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: Email the Board of Education. ‘Regarding Item 5.05, why is the district using taxpayer resources to run a ‘Shared Time’ business with private schools instead of focusing 100% on Berkley students? How much administrative time is being spent to generate just $18,973 in revenue?’ Advise members to verify board contact details on the district website.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Administrative overhead and diverted focus from district students.
