District Proposing New Student Data Privacy Rules
The board is introducing Policy 5676, ‘Privacy and Security for Student Data,’ without providing the text to the public. This policy will define who has access to your child’s sensitive information, what data is collected, and with whom it can be shared. Parents must see the fine print before it moves forward.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK FIRST, DEMAND TEXT: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item VIII.G.c, parents have a right to know what Policy 5676 says about their children’s data. Please release the full text of this policy and explain what is changing before it is considered for a vote.’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

Vote on Secretive ‘Immigrant Students’ Policy
The board is holding a final vote on Policy 7135, ‘Safeguarding the Rights of Immigrant Students,’ but the text of the policy is not included in the agenda. These policies can sometimes include provisions that instruct staff to conceal information from parents or limit cooperation with law enforcement, turning schools into sanctuaries.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website) before Tuesday’s vote: ‘I demand the full text of Policy 7135 under Item VIII.E be released to the public. The Board must not vote on a secret policy that could impact student safety and parental notification.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Policy Language

Board to Vote on Lobbying Federal Government
The board is voting on a resolution to officially lobby the U.S. Congress for more federal funding for IDEA (special education). This diverts the board’s focus from local academic issues and uses taxpayer-funded time and resources to engage in political activism.
Recommended Action Plan
REFOCUS THE BOARD: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item VIII.I, the Board’s job is to govern our local schools, not to lobby Congress. Please vote NO on this resolution and focus on academic excellence in Sweet Home.’
💰 Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying

Changes to Course Planning Guide Kept from Public
The board is hearing a presentation on the ‘Course Planning Guide,’ but the guide itself has not been made public with the agenda. This guide dictates the academic pathways available to students, and any changes could affect graduation requirements, honors, or AP course availability.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: This is a presentation, not a vote, but parents must know what’s coming. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item VI.A, please make the new Course Planning Guide public immediately so parents can review proposed changes to their children’s academic options.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Academic Changes

New ‘Board Protocol’ Policy Introduced
A new policy, 4321 ‘Board Protocol,’ is being introduced for a first reading. The text is not available, but these policies often contain changes to public comment rules, limiting parents’ ability to speak at meetings or hold the board accountable.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: This is a first reading, so there’s time to act. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item VIII.G.b, please provide the full text of the proposed Policy 4321 on Board Protocol. We must ensure it does not restrict the public’s right to speak.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Public Voice
