District Seeks to Launch Virtual School Without Public Details
On the consent agenda, the board will vote to authorize the Superintendent to apply for a new virtual school. This approval is being sought before any details about the school’s curriculum, parental review policies, or required daily screen time have been shared with the public.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK FIRST: Contact the District Office and demand Item IV.D be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and vote. Ask the board: ‘Before you authorize an application for a new virtual school, parents deserve to know what curriculum will be used, what the parental review process will be, and how much daily screen time will be required of students.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Curriculum

Undisclosed ‘Improvement Plans’ for Nine Campuses Up for Vote
The board is holding a public hearing and then voting to approve ‘Local’ and ‘Targeted’ Improvement Plans for nine different schools. The agenda does not include the actual plans, leaving parents in the dark about what new programs, student interventions (like MTSS), or social-emotional curricula might be implemented.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: The ‘Improvement Plans’ for Items VII, VIII, and IX are not public. Contact the District Office and demand these plans be posted online for parental review immediately. Sign up for public comment at the hearing for Item VIII and ask the board directly: ‘What specific academic and non-academic programs, including any SEL or MTSS components, are included in these plans?’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Programs

Board to Vote on Massive Multi-District Expansion
In a single vote, the board will decide whether to ask the state for permission to add new campuses, open additional sites, and increase student enrollment across six of its charter districts. This major expansion is moving forward without a public presentation of the financial and academic plan to ensure quality is maintained as the district grows.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Before the board approves a massive, multi-district expansion under Item XI, parents deserve to know the plan. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask: ‘What is the educational and financial plan to ensure academic quality is maintained or improved during this rapid expansion? Where will the new campuses be located?’
💰 Impact: Diluted Resources
