New Policy Lets District Cut Bus Service, Stranding Kids
Under the new transportation policy (Policy 810), the district can automatically stop bus service for your child if they don’t ride for 10 consecutive days. Parents will then have to re-apply and wait at least a week for service to be restored, creating a nightmare for families with changing schedules or custody arrangements.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a direct attack on families’ flexibility. Contact the School Board (see the Official Agenda link for details) and demand they remove the 10-day auto-cancellation from the second reading of Policy 810, Item 15.D.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Family’s Schedule

New “Compass” Course Pushes Social-Emotional Learning
The district is approving a new required course for all 6th, 7th, and 8th graders called “Compass.” The curriculum focuses on “academic, personal, and social skills,” which is a clear pipeline for Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and takes time away from core academics.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a new, required SEL course for all middle schoolers. Contact the School Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Vote NO on the Compass course in Item 14.A. Our children need academics, not social engineering.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Academic Focus

| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |

“Restorative” Justice Language Added to Bullying Policy
The board is approving a revised bullying policy (Policy 249) that includes “restorative or educational interventions.” This often means a focus on the bully’s feelings over real consequences and justice for the victim, and can be used to police student speech under vague definitions like “creating a threatening environment.”
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the School Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Before the second reading of Policy 249 under Item 15.C, please provide a public definition of ‘restorative interventions’ and explain how you will ensure consequences for bullies are not diminished.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Student Safety & Free Speech

Report Shows Staffing Grew While Enrollment Plummeted
The district’s own financial update reveals that while student enrollment has dropped by nearly 10% since 2016, professional staffing has increased by over 3%. This raises serious questions about where taxpayer money is going — to the classroom or to administrative bloat.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY: Contact the School Board (see the Official Agenda link for details) and ask for a public explanation of why staffing has increased while enrollment has significantly declined. Reference the Financial Planning Update in Item 10.A.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Taxpayer Dollars

District Buys “Executive Function” SEL Program
Buried in the district’s check register is a $6,435 payment to the “Research Institute for Learning and Development” for “SMARTS Elementary Licenses.” This is an “executive function” curriculum, which is a key component of Social Emotional Learning (SEL) being brought into elementary classrooms.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the School Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Regarding the payment to the Research Institute for Learning and Development in the Accounts Payable report (Item 9.B), was this SEL-aligned program vetted by a parent curriculum review committee?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $6,435

Vague Student Service Contracts Require Manual Review
The board is approving multiple agreements for special education and student services with outside providers (Lakeside, LifeWorks, Devereux, etc.) under vague agenda titles. The contracts themselves are not attached, preventing public review of the services being provided to students.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the files attached to agenda items 12.A, 12.B, 13.A, 13.B, and 13.C in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm the scope of services and any impact on parental rights.

Vague Title — Manual Review Required

Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘LUSSC 2026-27 Program Flyer’ attached to Item 9.C in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $2,500
