Vague Contracts Hidden on Consent Agenda
The board is set to approve multiple ‘Professional Services’ and ‘Exception-to-Bid’ contracts by bundling them on the consent agenda, preventing individual discussion. This is a common method for districts to hire ideological consultants for DEI or SEL training without parental scrutiny.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Board of School Directors (see the Official Agenda link for contact information) and demand: ‘Consent Items A.4 and A.5 must be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. Parents have a right to know who the district is hiring and for what purpose before our tax dollars are spent.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending

District Seeks Waiver from Federal Education Law
The district is applying for a waiver from the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), the primary federal K-12 law, but has not disclosed the application’s contents. Such waivers are often used to bypass academic accountability requirements or redirect funds to non-academic programs like SEL or DEI under the guise of ‘flexibility’.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK FIRST: Contact the Board of School Directors (see the Official Agenda link for contact information) before the vote: ‘Regarding Item B.1, please publicly release the full ESEA ED Flex Waiver Application. What specific provisions of federal law is the district asking to be waived from, and for what purpose?’
💰 Impact: Federal Strings Attached

District Cuts Ties with Radically-Named High School
The Board is voting to terminate its partnership contract with Assata High School. The school is named for Assata Shakur, a convicted domestic terrorist who fled to Cuba. The district severing this partnership is a significant step away from ideological extremism and a win for focusing on academics over activism.
How to Lock It In
SECURE THE WIN: Email the Board of School Directors (see the Official Agenda link for contact information) to support Item B.4. Thank them for ending a partnership that glorifies a convicted terrorist and urge them to ensure all future partners are focused on academic excellence, not radical politics.
