📅 Wednesday, August 5, 2026 to Calendar

Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for South Umpqua SD 19. We found 4 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.

🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8)

District Considers Blocking School Choice

📅 2026-08-05

The board is discussing whether to use a state law to deny parents the option to enroll their children in outside virtual charter schools. This would force families into the district’s own online programs to keep state funding in-house, directly limiting parental choice in education.

Recommended Action Plan

DEMAND A VOTE FOR PARENTAL RIGHTS: Email the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contacts): ‘Regarding Item 5.1, I urge you to direct the Superintendent to adopt Option 1, which respects family choice. Do not trap our children in district programs to protect your budget. Vote to protect school choice.’

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Loss of School Choice

👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5)

Equity Committee Seat Added to Budget Committee

📅 2026-08-05

Hidden in a large bundle of policy updates on the consent agenda is a change (Policy DBEA) that requires a member of the district’s ‘educational equity advisory committee’ to be on the budget committee. This creates a direct pipeline for ideological activists to influence how taxpayer money is spent.

Recommended Action Plan

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contacts): ‘I demand Item 11.2, specifically Policy DBEA, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. Who is on the ‘educational equity advisory committee’ and what is their agenda for our district’s budget?’

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Ideological Influence on Budget

✅ Wins to Defend

Good moves worth showing up to support so they stick.

Major Win (LEVEL 7)

Superintendent Goals Focus on Core Academics

📅 2026-08-05

The Superintendent’s proposed goals for the 2026-27 school year focus squarely on improving 3rd-grade reading scores and increasing student attendance. This is a welcome return to academic fundamentals and away from social agendas.

How to Lock It In

AMPLIFY THIS WIN: Show up or email the Board to thank the Superintendent for prioritizing core academic skills like reading. Publicly supporting these goals makes it harder for the district to shift focus to non-academic initiatives later.

✅ Why It Matters: Focus on Academics

Win (LEVEL 6)

Board Reaffirms Common-Sense Priorities

📅 2026-08-05

The Board is set to continue with priorities focused on Academic Achievement, Fiscal Responsibility, and Strong Family and Community Partnerships. This demonstrates a commitment to sound governance and core educational duties.

How to Lock It In

SECURE THE WIN: Email the Board to express your strong support for these common-sense priorities. Let them know parents are watching and appreciate the focus on what truly matters for our students.

✅ Why It Matters: Sound Governance
