| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |
|
$560k Contract for ‘Whole Child’ Ideology
The district plans to approve a $560,000 contract with City Year/Americorps to implement their ‘Whole School, Whole Child (WSWC)’ model. The contract explicitly includes training in ‘social-emotional learning, trauma-informed practices, restorative practices,’ and data collection on students.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a massive contract for ideological programming. Email the Board of Trustees and Superintendent: ‘Vote NO on the $560,000 City Year contract. Our tax dollars should fund academics, not social engineering and data-mining our children.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $560,000

$56k for SEL Software to Track Student ‘Well-Being’
The district is buying a three-year, $56,000 contract with Sown to Grow, Inc. for software that administers ‘SEL assessments’ and provides ‘administrator data reports to measure growth in student well-being.’ This is a data-mining operation designed to profile your child’s thoughts and feelings under the guise of ‘Social Emotional Learning.’
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a critical threat to student privacy. Email the Board of Trustees and Superintendent: ‘Vote NO on the Sown to Grow contract (Item 11.10). The district has no right to psychologically assess and data-mine our children. Focus on academics, not emotions.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $56,000 + Your Child’s Data

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
New ‘Healthy Relationship’ Curriculum for 6th Graders
A group called ‘Real Options’ is presenting its ‘Healthy Relationship curriculum’ for 6th-grade students. This type of curriculum is often a Trojan horse for Comprehensive Sex Education, introducing sensitive topics on gender and sexuality without clear parental oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a presentation, which is the first step to adoption. Show up to the meeting to scrutinize this vendor. Email the Board of Trustees: ‘We oppose any ‘Healthy Relationship’ curriculum from outside vendors like Real Options. This is a family conversation, not a school subject.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Bypassing Parental Consent
|
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
School-Based ‘Wellness Center’ for Mental Health Services
Hidden in the consent agenda is an agreement with the County to implement a ‘wellness center’ at Aptitud Academy. This center will provide ‘mental health services’ on campus, creating a pathway for students to receive counseling and support without parents being present or fully informed.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND A VOTE: Email the Board of Trustees: ‘Pull Item 11.9 from the Consent Agenda for a full discussion. What are the specific parental notification and consent policies for the Aptitud Wellness Center before any services are rendered to a child?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Grand Jury Report on District Problems
The board is reviewing a Santa Clara County Civil Grand Jury report titled ‘Alum Rock Union School District: Known problems, unfinished solutions.’ The contents of this report are not included in the agenda, but the title suggests significant issues with district governance or performance that parents need to know about.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached to Item 6.1 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to see the full Grand Jury report. Email the Board of Trustees: ‘Parents demand a full public presentation on the findings of the Grand Jury report and the district’s specific plan to fix these ‘unfinished solutions’.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Failures

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Outside Group to Teach ‘Sexual Abuse Prevention’
A ‘no cost’ contract with Pacific Clinics will bring them into schools to run ‘student workshops on sexual abuse prevention,’ discussing ‘trauma emotions, personal safety, and boundaries.’ These sensitive topics can easily stray into contested ideology, and ‘no cost’ services are often used to get a foot in the door to bypass parental review.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND A VOTE: Email the Board of Trustees: ‘Pull the Pacific Clinics contract from the Consent Agenda (Item 11.10). Parents, not outside activists, should be the primary educators on sensitive topics like abuse and boundaries. All curriculum must be opt-in with full parental review.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Bypassing Parental Consent

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
$80k Contract for School Clinic Medical Billing
The district is paying The Stepping Stones Group $80,745 for ‘medical billing oversight’ for its ‘school wellness programs.’ This contract builds the financial infrastructure for school-based clinics to operate and potentially bill for services, further entrenching a system that can function outside of direct parental oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Trustees: ‘Regarding the Stepping Stones contract (Item 11.10), will parents be notified before any service that generates a medical bill is provided to their child? We need a clear policy guaranteeing parental consent before any billing occurs.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $80,745

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Board Limits Public Comment Time
The board is enforcing a strict 2-minute limit per speaker and a 20-minute total limit for public comment on any single agenda item. This rule can be used to shut down parent testimony on controversial topics before everyone who signed up gets to speak.
Recommended Action Plan
Sign up for public comment early. Email the Board of Trustees (see district website for contacts): ‘I urge you to extend the 20-minute total time limit on public comment for critical issues. Parents deserve to be heard, not silenced by a clock.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Silencing Parents’ Voices

|
$517k to Bring ‘Positive Behavior Support’ to Recess
The district is spending over half a million dollars for ‘Playground Heroes Coaches’ to implement a ‘structured playground engagement program.’ This program uses recess to push concepts like ‘positive behavior support’ and ‘proactive intervention,’ turning kids’ free play time into another venue for social programming.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Trustees: ‘Regarding the $517,000 Little Heroes contract, what specific training and curriculum will these coaches use? Parents must be able to review all materials before recess is turned into a social experiment.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $517,000

| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
SEL Embedded in Summer School
The district’s Summer Program overview explicitly states a focus on ‘social-emotional development’ and ‘overall well-being’ alongside academics. This is how ideological programming replaces traditional learning, using summer school as a testing ground for SEL concepts.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Please provide the full curriculum and all materials used in the 2026 Summer Program under the banner of ‘social-emotional development.’ Parents have a right to review this content.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Replacing Academics
