Board Appointing Official Legislative Lobbyist
Under Item VII.D, the board is appointing a ‘Board Member Legislative Liaison’ to formalize its involvement with the state legislature. This creates an official role for a board member to lobby lawmakers, potentially using taxpayer-funded time and resources to support or oppose bills that impact parental rights.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Board before the vote on Item VII.D. Ask: ‘What is the specific mission of the Legislative Liaison? Will this liaison’s positions on legislation be subject to a public vote by the full board before they lobby in the district’s name? Parents must have a say in any political positions taken with public resources.’
💰 Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying

Undisclosed Resolution Up for Discussion
The board is scheduled to discuss ‘LSSD Resolution 25-26-01’ under Item VII.E, but the text of the resolution has not been made public with the agenda. This lack of transparency prevents parents and the public from knowing what statement or policy the board is considering adopting on their behalf.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The text for ‘LSSD Resolution 25-26-01’ under Item VII.E was not included in the agenda. Email the Board immediately and demand the full text of the resolution be posted for public review before any discussion takes place.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Policy Stance

District Discussing ‘Clinic Benefits’
The board is hearing a presentation on ‘Clinic Benefits’ from the consulting firm Gallagher (Item VII.F). While this may be about employee benefits, the term ‘clinic’ requires immediate clarification to ensure the district is not planning a school-based health clinic for students that could operate without parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK FIRST: Email the Board regarding Item VII.F: ‘Who are the ‘Clinic Benefits’ for? Is this presentation about employee benefits only, or is the district considering any form of school-based clinic that would serve students? If students are involved, what is the proposed parental consent policy?’
💰 Impact: Potential Student Clinic

| ALERT (LEVEL 3) |
|
Vague ‘LEA Compliance Report’ on Agenda
The board is voting to approve an ‘LEA Compliance Report’ (Item VII.A), but the report itself was not attached to the public agenda. These reports can contain details on policies affecting students and curriculum, and parents have a right to see what the district is certifying it complies with.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The ‘LEA Compliance Report’ is not attached to the agenda. Email the Board to ask for a copy of this report to be posted publicly before the vote on Item VII.A.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Policies
