Heads up! We have scanned the upcoming agenda for BIXBY. We found 6 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
New Contract for ‘School-Based Health Services’
The board plans to approve a contract with Public Consulting Group LLC for the ‘Oklahoma School-Based Health Services Program.’ These programs can become a pipeline for providing health and mental health services to students on campus without direct parental presence or consent, while also collecting sensitive student data.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND A ‘NO’ VOTE: Email the Board: ‘Vote NO on the contract with Public Consulting Group. Parents must have full transparency and control over any health services provided to their children at school. What specific services will be offered, who will provide them, and what is the explicit, opt-in parental consent process?’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Private Health Data

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Students to be Transported in Private Vehicles
The district is considering changes to its agreement with Lifewise, an off-campus religious instruction program. A proposed change would allow students to be transported in a ‘Van, or other designated Lifewise personal vehicle,’ raising serious safety, liability, and insurance questions for parents.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board: ‘Regarding the Lifewise agreement, parents must see the full policy on using personal vehicles. Who is liable in an accident? What are the insurance requirements and background check standards for any adult driving our children?’
💰 Impact: Student Safety & Liability

District Pursuing $225,000 Opioid Grant
The board will vote to approve a resolution and a $225,000 budget to pursue the Oklahoma Opioid Abatement Grant. While the goal sounds noble, these grants often come with strings attached, requiring the implementation of ‘mental health’ programs, student surveys, or data collection that can occur without parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK FIRST: Email the Board: ‘Regarding the Oklahoma Opioid Abatement Grant, what specific programs will this $225,000 fund? Will it involve student surveys, screenings, or services, and what are the parental notification and opt-out procedures?’
💰 Impact: $225,000 (Strings Attached?)
|
| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
District to Report on ‘Grading Practices’
The board will hear a report on ‘Grading Practices.’ This is often a euphemism for ‘equitable grading’ policies that can eliminate deadlines, allow infinite retakes, or remove penalties for poor performance, ultimately lowering academic standards for all students.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK FIRST: Contact the district office and ask for the ‘Grading Practices’ report to be posted publicly before the meeting. Email the Board: ‘Regarding the Teaching and Learning Report, what specific changes to grading practices are being considered? Parents have a right to understand how our children’s academic progress will be measured before any changes are made.’
💰 Impact: Lower Academic Standards
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Vague Financial Approvals on Consent Agenda
The board is set to approve a list of ‘Encumbrances and Change Orders’ on the consent agenda, bundling them for a single vote with no public discussion. The attachment listing the specific vendors and amounts has not been made public with the agenda, preventing parental review.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘Encumbrances’ attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to check for contracts with ideological vendors like Panorama, CASEL, or others. If controversial vendors are found, email the Board to demand the item be pulled from the consent agenda for a separate vote.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed

WIN: District Expands College Credit Options

How to Lock It In
SECURE THE WIN: Show up or email the Board to thank them for approving the MOU with Oral Roberts University. ‘Thank you for expanding dual enrollment opportunities. This focus on academic excellence and providing advanced pathways is exactly what our students need to succeed.’
