Heads up! We have scanned the upcoming agenda for LEON. We found 4 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
District Lobbying to Weaken Special Needs (IEP) Protections
The district is drafting its lobbying priorities to ask the state legislature for ‘flexibility’ on several key issues. This includes weakening requirements to provide make-up services for special needs students (IEP), reducing safety licensing for aftercare programs, and extending the curriculum adoption cycle from 5 to 6 years, giving parents less frequent input.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY: This is a workshop, not a final vote. Email the board at Personstobeheard@leonschools.net before the meeting: ‘Regarding Item 2.01, I oppose using our district’s resources to lobby for weaker IEP protections and less frequent curriculum review. The board must protect special needs students and parental oversight, not lobby against them.’
💰 Impact: Weakened Special Needs Protections

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Undisclosed ‘School Choice’ Workshop
The board is holding a workshop on ‘School Choice’ but has provided no documents or details about what will be discussed. This could involve expanding, restricting, or changing how school choice programs operate in the district, directly impacting families’ educational options without any public review beforehand.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Attend the workshop or email the board at Personstobeheard@leonschools.net: ‘Regarding the ‘School Choice’ workshop (Item 2.03), parents deserve to know what changes are being considered for our children’s educational options. Please publish all materials related to this discussion immediately.’
💰 Impact: Changes to Your Child’s School Options

| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Undisclosed ‘Policy Updates’ on Workshop Agenda
The board is holding a workshop to discuss ‘Policy Updates’ without specifying which policies will be reviewed. This lack of transparency prevents parents from knowing if critical policies affecting parental rights, curriculum, or student safety are being changed.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the board at Personstobeheard@leonschools.net: ‘Regarding Item 2.07, ‘Policy Updates,’ which specific policies are on the agenda for this workshop? Parents have a right to know what is being discussed before the meeting.’
💰 Impact: Secret Policy Changes
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Vague ‘Risk Management’ Report — Manual Review Required
The board will review the annual ‘Risk Management’ report, but the presentation file was not included in the public agenda packet. This makes it impossible for parents to review what risks are being discussed or how the district plans to manage them ahead of the meeting.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘2025-2026 Risk Management Annual Report.pptx’ attached to Item 2.02 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to see what student or district risks are being discussed. Email the board at Personstobeheard@leonschools.net with any concerns before the meeting.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Risks
