| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |

New “Wellness” Goal May Hide Student Data Collection
The proposed 2026-2028 District Goal #2 focuses on “student and staff health, safety, and wellness” through “enhanced mental health and student supports.” Progress will be measured by collecting “student support and intervention data” and “wellness indicators,” which are often gathered through invasive surveys without full parental review.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding District Goal #2 in Item 6.d, what specific “wellness indicators” will be collected? Will parents have the right to review all survey questions and opt their children out before any data is collected? This goal must not become a backdoor for student data mining.’

“Restorative Justice” Replacing Traditional Discipline District-Wide
The district is formally adopting “Restorative Practices” and “Restorative Justice (RJ)” in the student handbooks for all schools, including elementary. This approach focuses on “healing rather than punishment” and often reduces consequences for misbehavior, which can compromise classroom safety and student accountability.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a major shift in discipline. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘I oppose the adoption of “Restorative Justice” in the student handbooks. We need discipline policies that prioritize safety and accountability, not group therapy sessions for offenders. Vote NO on Item 6.b.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Student Accountability

New Handbooks Add “Gender Identity” to Discrimination Policies
The updated student handbooks add new language on “Unlawful Discrimination” and “Harassment” that explicitly includes “gender, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression” as protected characteristics. These policies can be used to punish students for using biologically correct pronouns and enforce gender ideology in the classroom, violating parental rights and student speech.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND CLARITY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the “Unlawful Discrimination” language in the new handbooks (Item 6.b), will students be disciplined for expressing beliefs based on biological reality? The board must affirm that no student will be compelled to use pronouns that violate their conscience. Vote NO on handbooks that codify gender ideology.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Forced Speech in Schools

District Proposes Strict “No Cell Phone” Policy
The new student handbooks propose a strict policy banning student cell phone use during the entire school day, including lunch and before school for high schoolers. While this may reduce distractions, it also limits your ability to contact your child in an emergency and their ability to contact you.
Recommended Action Plan
VOICE YOUR OPINION: This policy impacts every family’s ability to communicate. Email the Board (contact info on district website) with your position on the proposed cell phone ban in Item 6.b. Does this policy go too far in restricting communication?
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Parent-Child Communication

District Goals Tied to Vague “Portrait of a Graduate”
The proposed District Goal #1 on Career and Technical Education states that new programming will be “aligned with our Portrait of a Graduate competencies.” These “competencies” are not defined in the agenda and are often used as a vehicle to introduce Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and other non-academic priorities.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK FOR DEFINITIONS: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Before approving Item 6.d, please publicly define the “Portrait of a Graduate competencies.” Parents need to know what social and emotional metrics are being tied to academic goals.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Shift from Academics
