Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Ankeny Comm School District. We found 5 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
Board to Affirm Secretive, Fast-Tracked Policy
The board is affirming a policy that was passed with a single ‘first and final read’ at the last meeting, bypassing the normal public review process. The agenda gives no information about what this policy actually contains, only that it was a response to unspecified ‘legislation’.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a major transparency failure. Sign up for public comment and email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘What is the policy being affirmed under Item VIII.C? Parents have a right to know what policies are governing our schools before they are rubber-stamped.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Board Oversight

District Hires ‘Equity’ Consultant for $4,500
The district is entering a contract with the Mid-Atlantic Equity Consortium (MAEC), a known external group that promotes ‘Education Equity.’ This is often a trojan horse for introducing controversial DEI, Critical Race Theory, and anti-racist concepts into teacher training and curriculum.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘I demand Item VII.F.vii, the contract with MAEC, be pulled for a separate discussion and vote. What specific services will this Equity Consortium provide and what materials will they use with our staff?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $4,500 (Grant Funded)

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The ‘Personnel Report’ is bundled into the Consent Agenda, which is approved without discussion. This report could include the hiring of staff for non-academic roles like ‘DEI Coordinator’ or ‘SEL Coach’ without public scrutiny.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘08.17.2026 – Personnel Report’ attached to Item VI.D in the Official Agenda (linked above) to check for the hiring of staff with ideological titles.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Hidden Staffing Agendas
|
| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The ‘Paid Bills’ are bundled into the Consent Agenda, which is approved without discussion. The actual list of payments is in an attachment that could not be reviewed, potentially hiding payments to controversial vendors for things like SEL or DEI.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘Board Bills 8.17.26’ attached to Item VI.C in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains payments to ideological vendors like Panorama, CASEL, or others.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Spending
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Church Group to Provide ‘Adult Mentors’ in Schools
The district is approving a ‘no cost’ agreement with Kids Hope USA and a local church to provide adult mentors in four schools. While community involvement can be positive, parents need to know how these mentors are vetted and what they will be discussing with students.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item VII.F.ii, what is the vetting and background check process for Kids Hope USA mentors, and what are the specific guardrails and curriculum for their interactions with students?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Unvetted Adult Access
