Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for POLK. We found 2 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8)
Hiding the Money in Bundled Contracts
📅 September 22, 2026
The board plans to approve a batch of ‘Annual Contract Renewals Under 1 Million’ without disclosing a single vendor name or contract purpose. This is a classic tactic to hide spending on controversial Social Emotional Learning (SEL), DEI, or student data-mining vendors by burying them in a bundled vote, preventing any public scrutiny of where taxpayer money is going.
Recommended Action Plan

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the School Board and demand that Item B, ‘Annual Contract Renewals,’ be pulled for a full public discussion. Insist that every single vendor and the amount of their contract be read into the record and voted on individually. Advise members to check the district website for board member emails.

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Potentially millions in undisclosed vendor contracts.
⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6)
Secret ‘Staff Updates’ Presentation
📅 September 22, 2026
Under ‘Budget & Staffing,’ the agenda lists a PowerPoint presentation on ‘Staff/District Updates’ but fails to attach the actual presentation for public review. This prevents parents from knowing what is being presented to the board. This could range from routine updates to the introduction of new ‘equity coaches’ or controversial training programs, all shielded from public view until the meeting itself.
Recommended Action Plan

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email Chief of Staff Jason Pitts at jason.pitts@polk-fl.net. ‘I request that the PowerPoint presentation for Agenda Item C.1 be immediately posted online for public review prior to the September 22nd meeting. The public has a right to see what you are presenting to the board.’

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Public’s Right to Know.
