District to Print Activist Hotline on Student ID Cards
The revised Child Abuse Prevention policy (BP 5141.4) mandates printing crisis hotlines on student ID cards for grades 7-12. This includes The Trevor Project, an activist organization that provides counseling on gender identity and sexual orientation, often without parental involvement or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
CRITICAL ALERT – PACK THE ROOM: This is the final vote on Item VIII.4. The district plans to put The Trevor Project’s hotline on every 7-12th grader’s ID card. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and demand they vote NO. ‘I do not consent to the district advertising ideological activist groups like The Trevor Project to my child. Remove this from BP 5141.4.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Direct pipeline to activists

School-Based Health Clinic Proposed for High School
The district is presenting a plan to establish a School-Based Health Center at Bassett High School, operated by East Valley Community Health Center. While framed as improving access to care, these clinics can provide “behavioral health support” and other services to students without parental presence or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item II.3.1, what are the specific parental notification and consent policies for all services, including behavioral health and screenings, at the proposed School-Based Health Center? Will parents be required to be present for their child’s appointments?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Parental Consent Bypass

| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |

“No Cost” Mental Health Services Contract on Consent Agenda
The district is renewing a contract with “All For Kids Organization” to provide “school-linked mental health services” on five school campuses. The contract is listed as “No Fiscal Impact” because the vendor likely bills Medi-Cal directly, creating a pathway for student mental health services at school that operates outside of direct parental oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Pull Consent Item IX.3.4 for a separate vote. What are the parental notification and consent requirements before a student receives services from All For Kids Organization? Who pays for these services if not the district?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Bypassing Parental Oversight

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |

Suicide Policy Adopts High-Risk Group Focus
The district is adopting a revised Suicide Prevention policy (BP 5141.52). The policy specifically singles out “lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or questioning” students as a high-risk group, which can open the door to school-based interventions and counseling on gender and sexuality without parental knowledge.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is the final vote. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and sign up for public comment on Item VIII.1. ‘Vote NO on BP 5141.52. Suicide prevention is critical, but this policy opens the door for the school to counsel my child on gender identity without my consent. Parents must be the primary authority on their child’s mental health.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: School-based gender counseling

Agenda Hides Spending on Ideological Vendors
Buried in the Purchase Order Report are payments to several vendors known for promoting ideological content. These include Newsela ($12,469.50) for politicized news, Thriving YOUniversity ($7,750) for SEL/wellness programs, and Solution Tree ($4,614) for trainings that often include DEI principles.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Contact the District Office regarding Purchase Order Report Item IX.2.3. ‘What specific services and curriculum are being purchased from Newsela (PO 27-0413), Thriving YOUniversity (PO 27-0414), and Solution Tree (PO 27-0460)? Parents have a right to review these materials before they are used with our children.’

Vague Policy Updates Require Manual Review
The agenda includes the final adoption of several administrative regulations (AR 5141.52, AR 5141.4, AR 1312.3) that implement controversial policies on suicide prevention, child abuse reporting, and “discriminatory bias” complaints. The text of these crucial implementation documents was not provided in the agenda packet.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the files for Items VIII.2, VIII.5, and VIII.7 attached in the Official Agenda (linked above). The district must not pass these regulations without full public transparency on the exact procedures that will be used to implement these sensitive policies.

District Updates “Discriminatory Bias” Complaint Policy
The district is adopting a revised Uniform Complaint Procedure policy (BP 1312.3). The new policy expands the definition of discrimination to include “discriminatory bias” in curriculum and instructional materials, which could be used to silence parental concerns about ideological content by labeling them as “bias.”
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND CLARITY: Contact the District Office regarding Item VIII.6. ‘How will the district define “discriminatory bias” in curriculum? Will this policy be used to prevent parents from objecting to age-inappropriate or ideological content in the classroom?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Weaponizing Complaint Process

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Teacher Training on “Environmental Principles”
The district is approving $1,100 for middle school science teacher training from the LA County Office of Education. The training focuses on Next Generation Science Standards, but includes “Environmental Principles and Concepts,” which can be a gateway to climate alarmism and other political agendas in the science classroom.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) regarding Item IX.3.2. ‘What specific “Environmental Principles and Concepts” will be taught to our teachers? Please provide the curriculum materials for parental review to ensure they are scientific and not political.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $1,100
