New ‘Equity’ Policy Pushes Unequal Treatment
| 📅 First Reading July 28, 2026 |
Under agenda item Q.1, the Board is holding a first reading to adopt Policy P 2260, ‘Equity in School and Classroom Practices.’ Policies with ‘Equity’ in the title are not about equality; they are about treating students differently based on their group identity to achieve predetermined outcomes. This is the policy that replaces merit with identity politics and can lead to lowered academic standards for all.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a critical threat. The full text is located within a large PDF on the district’s official agenda page. Download the file ‘2026-07-28 Policies 237 & 238 for Agenda.pdf’ and find Policy 2260. Email the Board: ‘Vote NO on Policy 2260. Our schools must focus on equal opportunity for all students, not ideologically-driven equity policies that create division.’

Secret Social-Emotional Scoring for Preschoolers
| 📅 Vote Scheduled July 28, 2026 |
Under items P.1 and R.1, the board is spending over $64,000 on ‘Teaching Strategies GOLD’ software for all Pre-K classrooms. The district’s own Assessment Calendar (Attachment EC5) confirms this software is used to collect data on your child’s ‘Social & Emotional’ development. This creates a permanent behavioral record on four-year-olds, potentially without full parental consent or understanding of how the data will be used.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board: ‘I demand to know what specific social-emotional data is being collected on Pre-K students via Teaching Strategies GOLD. Who owns this data, and with whom is it shared? Provide the parental opt-out form before this $64,000 purchase is approved.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $64,194.50

District Adopts ‘Equity’ and ‘Global Citizen’ Mission
Under agenda item A.1, the school board is formally adopting a new mission statement centered on ‘diversity, equity, and inclusion,’ ‘culturally sustaining’ programs, and creating ‘successful global citizens.’ This language shifts the focus from academic excellence to social and political agendas, setting the stage for more radical policies in the future.
Recommended Action Plan
MONITOR: This is the foundation for future policies. Email the Board: ‘The district’s mission should be academic excellence, not political activism. Please define ‘culturally sustaining’ and ‘global citizens’ and explain how they improve student literacy and numeracy.’
