| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Public Comment Severely Restricted
The board is limiting the total public comment period to only 15 minutes for all parents combined, and restricting comments to agenda items only. This is a significant barrier that prevents parents from holding the board accountable on a wide range of issues.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TO BE HEARD: Contact the Board of Education (see the Official Agenda link for contact info). Urge them to remove the 15-minute total time limit mentioned in items 5.A and 13.A. ‘Our right to address our elected officials should not be limited to a 15-minute window. We demand you respect the public’s voice.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Suppressed Public Voice

New ‘Silent Mentoring’ Program Introduced
The district is rolling out a new program called “Silent Mentoring.” The name suggests a program where adults are paired with students without transparent communication to parents, potentially to discuss sensitive topics outside of the curriculum.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link for contact info) before the meeting. Ask for details on Presentation 3.A, ‘Silent Mentoring’: ‘Who are the mentors? What are their qualifications, what topics are discussed, and will parents be notified and able to opt their child out?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Bypassing Parental Consent

District Approving Unvetted Vendor Contract
Under item 10.A, the board is approving a contract with ‘Isa Marrs Speech Language Pathology, PC.’ The contract details were not included in the agenda packet, making it impossible to verify the scope of services or ensure they don’t include ideological components disguised as therapy.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The file for item 10.A is in the official agenda. Open the attachment for ‘Isa Marrs Speech Language Pathology, PC’ to see the contract terms. Email the Board to ask: ‘What is the full scope of services provided by this vendor and what is the cost to taxpayers?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Contract Terms

WIN: District Creates Future Farmers of America Club
The board is approving the creation of a Future Farmers of America (FFA) chapter. This is a positive move away from divisive clubs and a return to extracurriculars that teach valuable, practical skills and leadership.
How to Lock It In
AMPLIFY THIS WIN: Email the Board of Education (see the Official Agenda link for contact info) to thank them for approving the FFA club in item 10.B. ‘Thank you for supporting traditional, skill-based programs like FFA. We need more of this focus on preparing our students for the future.’
✅ Why It Matters: Focus on Core Skills
