New Parental Opt-Out Policy on First Reading
The board is introducing a brand new policy, ‘P & R 2422.02 Parental Opt-Out From Certain Instruction,’ for a first reading. This could either strengthen or severely limit your right to remove your child from controversial lessons. The text of this critical policy, along with several others, is in an attachment that must be reviewed before the vote.
Recommended Action Plan
CRITICAL: Open the attachment for Policy Item 1 in the Official Agenda (linked above) and read the proposed ‘Parental Opt-Out’ policy (P & R 2422.02) immediately. Contact the Board to demand this new policy strongly protects the fundamental right of parents to direct their children’s education and opt them out of any instruction they find objectionable.
💰 Impact: Your Right to Opt-Out

District Approving Undisclosed List of ‘Service Providers’
The board is voting to approve an attached list of outside ‘service providers’ for the school year. These contracts are often used to bring in third-party consultants for things like SEL, DEI, or mental health services without parental oversight. The list of vendors being hired is not included in the agenda summary.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Under Curriculum and Instruction Item 3, the board is approving a list of service providers. Contact the District Office and demand the full list of vendors and contract amounts be made public before the vote. We need to know who is being paid to influence our children.
💰 Impact: Ideological Vendors

Board to Adopt Annual ‘Nursing Services Plan’
The district is adopting its Nursing Services Plan for the year. These plans can include policies for health screenings, distributing medication, or providing other health services on campus that may not require direct parental consent for every interaction. The full plan is in an attachment that should be reviewed.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK FIRST: Regarding Curriculum and Instruction Item 1, contact the District Office to request a copy of the Nursing Services Plan. Ask them to clarify its policies on parental notification and consent for any student health screenings or non-emergency services provided at school.
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Health Privacy

Board to Approve $8 Million+ in Spending with No Public Detail
Under Finance Item 1, the board is set to approve two months of bills totaling over $8 million. While much of this is routine, large bill lists can be used to conceal payments to controversial consultants, curriculum providers, or lobbying groups. The detailed check register is not included in the agenda.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The detailed bill lists for Finance Item 1 should be available on the district website or by request. Contact the District Office and ask for the full check registers for October and November 2026 to check for payments to ideological vendors before the board approves this $8 million expenditure.
💰 Impact: $8,082,590.22
