Contract for Outsourced School Psychologists
The district plans to contract with a private company, ‘Pediatric Assessment & Counseling Services, LLC,’ for school psychological services. This could lead to students receiving mental health assessments or counseling without full, transparent parental consent, and it’s unclear what ideologies or methods this private provider uses.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: The details of this contract are in an attachment. Open the file ’26-27 contract Pediatric Assessment & Counseling’ in the Official Agenda (linked above). Contact the Board (see district website for emails): ‘Before approving the contract for psychological services, parents demand to know the exact services provided, the parental consent process for any assessment or counseling, and what student data will be shared with this private company.’
💰 Impact: Bypassing Parental Consent

Revisions to Student Discipline Policy – Details Hidden
The board is voting on changes to the student discipline policy, #2158. These revisions often include controversial concepts like ‘restorative justice’ instead of consequences, or new rules related to speech and gender pronouns that can violate students’ rights and parental values.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘Policy 2158’ attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) immediately. Check for terms like ‘restorative practices,’ ‘equity,’ ‘bias,’ or new rules on pronouns and harassment. Email the Board to postpone the vote on Policy #2158 until parents have had at least 30 days to review these critical changes.
💰 Impact: Weakened School Discipline

Vague ‘Grief Support’ Contract Hidden in Consent Agenda
The board is approving a contract with ‘The Grief Center’ for school-based support, bundled in the consent agenda to avoid discussion. While sounding helpful, these services can introduce therapeutic interventions and SEL concepts into the school day without direct parental consent or oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: This item is on the Consent Agenda. Open the file ‘2026-2027 BIXBY SCHOOLS MOU THE GRIEF CENTER’ attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to see the specific services offered and what parental consent is required. Email the Board to pull this item from the Consent Agenda for a separate vote and public discussion.
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Mental Health Data

| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Public Comment Time Capped at 30 Minutes
The board limits total public comment to 30 minutes and the president can cut it short at any time. This structure can be used to silence parents and prevent the board from hearing widespread community concerns on controversial topics.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND YOUR RIGHT TO BE HEARD: Contact the Board (see district website for emails): ‘The 30-minute time limit on public comment is insufficient for a district this size. We request you extend this time to ensure all parent voices are heard, and remove the clause allowing the president to unilaterally end public comment.’
💰 Impact: Your Voice Being Silenced
