Vague ‘Student Outcomes’ Training
📅 November 19, 2026
The board is receiving ‘Evaluating and Improving Student Outcomes (EISO)’ training. While this is a state framework, these sessions can be used by consultants to introduce controversial Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) concepts or student data-gathering systems without parental oversight.
Response

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask for the training materials and the name of the trainer for Item III. Parents have a right to know who is training the board and what ideologies are being promoted under the banner of ‘student outcomes’.

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Consultant Fees

Vague ‘Construction Project List’ Discussion
📅 November 19, 2026
The board will discuss a ‘Construction Project List’ without providing any details on the projects, their costs, or how they will be funded. This could be the first step toward a major bond or other debt that will increase property taxes for years to come.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask for the ‘Construction Project List’ to be published online before the meeting. Ask the board: ‘Regarding Item II, what projects are on the list, what is the estimated cost, and how will they be funded?’

💰 Impact: Future Taxpayer Debt
