| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
District Proposing Gender Ideology Policy Update
Under Item 12.A, the district is revising Policy 2266, ‘Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Sex,’ to align with ‘federal guidance.’ This is a common tactic to insert radical gender ideology, such as allowing biological males in girls’ sports and bathrooms or enabling social transitioning without parental consent, under the guise of federal compliance.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: Email the School Board (contact info on district website) before the meeting. ‘Regarding the update to Policy 2266 in Item 12.A, I demand to see the full text of the proposed changes. We will not accept any policy that redefines ‘sex’ to include ‘gender identity’ or that violates parental rights and student privacy.’

New EdTech Purchase – Edmentum Tutoring
The district is approving ‘Edmentum High Impact Tutoring’ under Item 18.A, a student-facing software program. The board has not presented any independent, non-vendor-funded evidence that this product improves academic outcomes, nor have they disclosed how much daily screen time this will add for students.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the School Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item 18.A, before approving the Edmentum contract, please publish the independent, third-party evidence of its academic effectiveness and state the total daily screen time it will add for a typical student. Public funds should not be spent on unproven software that replaces teacher instruction with screen time.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |

New Policy Expands Sharing of Student Mental Health Data
The proposed update to Policy 8330 in Item 12.A would allow state and local agencies to share student records, including psychological evaluations and threat assessments, without explicitly requiring parental consent. This creates a pathway for your child’s sensitive mental health information to be shared between government agencies, eroding parental oversight of their child’s private data.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND PARENTAL CONSENT: Email the School Board (contact info on district website): ‘The update to Policy 8330 in Item 12.A must be amended to require explicit, written parental consent before any student’s mental health or psychological records are shared with any outside agency. Vote NO until this protection is added.’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
Item 18.C asks for approval of ‘Professional Learning Support,’ but the agenda provides no details or attachments about the content of this training. This is a common way for districts to fund and implement ideological training for teachers (like DEI, SEL, or ‘anti-racism’) without public scrutiny.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached to Item 18.C in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether this ‘Professional Learning Support’ includes ideological training for teachers. Demand that all teacher training materials be made public before they are approved.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed

| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
‘Mental Health Awareness’ Training for Students
As part of Item 12.A, Policy 8405 is being updated to expand training for students and staff in ‘youth mental health awareness and assistance.’ These programs often serve as a gateway for SEL concepts and in-school mental health interventions that can occur without parental knowledge or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK FOR CURRICULUM: Email the School Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the training in Policy 8405 of Item 12.A, please provide the full curriculum and materials for the ‘youth mental health awareness’ training for public review before the vote. Parents have a right to know what is being taught to their children.’
💰 Impact: School-Based Therapy by Stealth

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
Item 17.A seeks approval for a new ‘District Truancy & Police Officer’ job description, but the document is not attached for public review. Truancy officers can be used to increase surveillance of families, including home visits, and parents have a right to see the scope of this new role.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached to Item 17.A in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm the duties and authority of the new ‘District Truancy & Police Officer’ position.
💰 Impact: Increased Family Surveillance

Board Moves to Stop Automatic Union Dues Deductions
The Board is updating Policy 6520 to align with state law (F.S. 447.303), which prohibits the district from automatically deducting union dues from employee paychecks. This action stops the flow of public money, via the district’s payroll system, to fund the political activities of employee unions.
How to Lock It In
PACK THE ROOM TO SUPPORT: Email the School Board (contact info on district website) and attend the meeting to thank them for this vote. ‘Thank you for voting YES on the update to Policy 6520 in Item 12.A. This is a crucial step in ensuring taxpayer resources are not used to facilitate union political fundraising.’
✅ Why It Matters: Weakens Union Influence

Board Strengthens Oversight and Transparency
Several policy updates under Item 12.A increase transparency and board oversight. Bylaws 0149 and 0168 give board members better access to financial records and require meeting attachments to be public, while Policies 1120/3120/4120 ban non-disclosure agreements for staff. These changes make it harder for the administration to hide information from the public or the board.
How to Lock It In
SHOW UP TO SUPPORT: Email the School Board (contact info on district website) and speak during public comment. ‘I support the transparency and governance updates in Item 12.A, including Bylaws 0149, 0168 and the ban on NDAs. Please vote YES to ensure parents and their elected board have full oversight.’
✅ Why It Matters: Increased Accountability
