District Expands Mental Health Program with State
Under Consent Item P.3, the Board is extending its agreement for the ‘Children and Youth Behavioral Health Initiative’ (CYBHI) until 2027. These state-level programs often serve as a pipeline for school-based mental health services, screenings, and data collection that can occur without full parental awareness or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (see Official Agenda link for contacts): ‘Pull Consent Item P.3 for a full discussion. Parents have a right to know what data the CYBHI program collects on our children and what services can be provided without our direct, prior consent.’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

New Policy Gives Principals ‘Stay Away Letter’ Authority
Item R.7 is the final vote on revisions to Policy 1250, which governs campus visitors. A key change gives principals the authority to issue a ‘stay away letter’ to anyone deemed to be causing a ‘willful disruption,’ a vague term that could be used to silence parents who speak out at schools.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a direct threat to your right to advocate for your child. Sign up for public comment and email the Board (see Official Agenda link for contacts): ‘Vote NO on Item R.7. Do not give administrators the power to ban parents from campus with subjective ‘stay away letters’.’
💰 Impact: Suppressed Parental Speech

District Amends Agreement for BrainPOP EdTech Software
Consent Item P.4 amends the district’s agreement for BrainPOP, a student-facing educational software. The district has not provided evidence that this product improves academic outcomes or detailed how much additional screen time it requires from students.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (see Official Agenda link for contacts): ‘Before voting on Consent Item P.4, please publish the evidence showing BrainPOP’s academic effectiveness and state the total daily screen time this software adds for students. Parents deserve proof of value before you approve more screen-based learning.’
💰 Impact: More Classroom Screen Time

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |

Vague ‘Professional Service Contracts’ on Consent Agenda
Item O.1 on the consent agenda is for ‘Professional Service Contracts’ with no vendor names, service descriptions, or costs listed. Bundling undisclosed contracts like this is a common way to approve spending on ideological consultants or controversial programs without public scrutiny.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Email the Board (see Official Agenda link for contacts): ‘Pull Consent Item O.1 for a separate vote. Who are the vendors, what are the services, and what is the cost? The public deserves to know before you approve these contracts.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed
|
| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Committee Formed to Rename School Facilities
Under Item R.6, the Board is creating a ‘Citizens’ Advisory Committee’ to rename school facilities. Past board discussions suggest this may be driven by an ideological push to change names like the ‘Braves’ mascot, potentially prioritizing activism over local history and community consensus.
Recommended Action Plan
GET ON THE COMMITTEE: This is a chance to shape the outcome. Contact the District Office (see Official Agenda link) and demand that the committee for Item R.6 includes parents focused on tradition and unity, not activism. Volunteer to serve!
💰 Impact: Ideological Renaming
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Undisclosed Student Field Trips on Consent Agenda
Item P.2 seeks approval for ‘Student/Study Field Trips’ but provides no information on the destinations, purpose, or cost of these trips. Parents have a right to know where their children are being taken and for what purpose before the Board approves it.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached to Item P.2 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to see where these trips are planned. If the destinations are ideological, email the Board and demand the item be pulled from the consent agenda for discussion.
💰 Impact: Lack of Transparency
