Undisclosed Financial Actions on the Agenda
The board is scheduled to vote on ‘Finance Action Items’ under item V.B with zero description of what those actions are. This prevents parents and taxpayers from knowing how their money is being spent before the vote is taken.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info) and demand that ‘Finance Action Items’ under V.B be fully described and explained to the public before any vote is taken. Ask: ‘What financial actions are you voting on, and what is the cost to taxpayers?’
π° Impact: Undisclosed Spending

Vague Title β Manual Review Required for Board Policy Rewrite
The board is considering a rewrite of Policy 1110, which governs the Board of Directors itself. The proposed new text is in an attachment that was not included in the public agenda packet, preventing parental review of these important governance changes before the meeting.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file for Policy 1110 attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains changes that reduce transparency or parental oversight. Email the Board to demand the full text of the proposed rewrite be posted publicly well before any vote.
π° Impact: Reduced Board Oversight

School May Adopt National School Lunch Program
The board will vote on joining the National School Lunch Program. While this provides food funding, federal programs often come with strings attached, including data collection on students and families or other mandates that are not purely about nutrition.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK FIRST: Contact the Board before the meeting (see Official Agenda link for contact info). Ask: ‘Regarding item VI.B, what are all the terms, conditions, and data-sharing requirements the school must agree to in order to receive funds from the National School Lunch Program? Will parents be notified of these requirements before enrollment?’
π° Impact: Federal Strings Attached

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Vague Title β Manual Review Required for ‘RYSE’ Change Orders
The agenda lists ‘RYSE Change Orders’ under the USDA committee update, with details in attachments not provided in the public packet. Parents need to know what ‘RYSE’ is and how much these change orders will cost taxpayers before they are approved.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the ‘RYSE Change Orders’ attachments in the Official Agenda (linked above) to find the vendor and the cost. Email the Board and ask: ‘Regarding item V.E, what is the RYSE project and what is the total cost of the change orders?’
π° Impact: Undisclosed Cost
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Vague Title β Manual Review Required for Director’s Report
The School Director’s report is listed as an attachment but the text is not provided. This report could contain important updates or proposals affecting students that parents cannot review before the meeting.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the ‘Director Report’ attachment in the Official Agenda (linked above) to check for any new programs, policy proposals, or spending requests that require parental scrutiny.
π° Impact: Undisclosed Proposals
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
School Considers Joining Lawsuit Against Social Media Companies
The board is voting on involving the school in ‘Social Media Harms Litigation.’ This commits taxpayer resources to external legal battles, and parents deserve to know the cost, the law firms involved, and the specific goals before the school joins.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Board (see Official Agenda link for contact info) and ask about item VI.B: ‘What is the estimated cost to the school to participate in the Social Media Harms Litigation? Which law firm is representing the school, and what are the specific legal objectives?’
π° Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lawsuit
