Over $2.5 Million in Spending Hidden on Consent Agenda
The board is set to approve $2,523,927.53 in spending as part of the consent agenda (Item 5.2), which means no public discussion. Key attachments listing the specific vendors and payments were not provided in the public packet, preventing parents from seeing if funds are going to ideological consultants or programs.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the School Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info) and demand that ‘Item 5.2, Monthly Expenditures’ be pulled from the consent agenda for a full public discussion and roll-call vote. Parents have a right to know exactly where their tax dollars are going before a vote is taken.
💰 Impact: $2,523,927.53

Undisclosed Personnel Changes on Consent Agenda
Item 5.3 on the consent agenda approves unknown personnel changes without public discussion. The spreadsheet detailing these new hires or position changes is referenced but not included in the public packet, making it impossible to know if the district is hiring for positions like DEI or SEL coordinators.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link for contact info) and request the ‘Personnel Changes spreadsheet’ for Item 5.3. Ask the board to pull this item from the consent agenda until the public can review the documents.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Staffing

Tax Levy Includes Funding for “Home Visiting” Program
The proposed 2026-27 tax levy, up for a vote in Item 7.1, includes a line item for “Home Visiting.” These programs can extend school oversight into the family home, raising significant privacy concerns for parents.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: Contact the School Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info) before the vote on Item 7.1. Ask: ‘What is the purpose of the ‘Home Visiting’ program funded in the levy, what data is collected on families, and is participation mandatory?’
💰 Impact: Your Family’s Privacy

District Focuses on “Social-Emotional Development” Over Academics
The minutes from the August 24th meeting, up for approval under item 5.1, show that principals presented “social-emotional development” and an “inclusive school culture” as core school goals. This confirms the district is prioritizing subjective social programming alongside academics.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Contact the School Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info). Ask: ‘Regarding the approval of the August 24th minutes (Item 5.1), how does the district define and measure ‘social-emotional development’? Parents are concerned this is taking time and resources away from core academic subjects.’
💰 Impact: Focus on SEL, not academics
