| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Student Handbook Approved Without Public Review
The board is voting to approve the 2026-2027 High School Student Handbook (Item 13.A) without attaching the document for public review. Handbooks are where critical policies on discipline, pronouns, and student rights are often hidden from parents until it’s too late.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes on gender identity, discipline, or parental notification. If it does, demand the item be pulled from the consent agenda for a full public discussion.

State-Mandated School ‘Improvement’ Plan Approved Without Public Review
The board is approving a ‘State Mandated TSI Plan’ (Item 13.A), but the plan itself is not attached for parents to read. These ‘Targeted Support and Improvement’ plans are often required by the state and federal government and frequently contain mandates for equity initiatives, SEL, and other ideological interventions as a condition of funding.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether the TSI plan contains requirements for SEL, DEI, or ‘restorative practices.’ Email the board: ‘Parents have a right to review any state-mandated plan before it is approved. Please table the vote on the TSI plan until the full text is made public.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Mandated Equity/SEL Initiatives

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |

Taxpayer-Funded Teacher Training in SEL and ‘Trauma-Informed’ Ideology
The district is using taxpayer money to reimburse teachers for professional development courses in ‘Social Emotional Learning (SEL)’ and ‘Teaching Trauma Affected Students.’ These concepts often serve as a gateway to introduce psychological assessments and progressive social theories into the classroom, replacing academic instruction time.
Recommended Action Plan
Email the School Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding Item 8.A, I am concerned about taxpayer funds being used for teacher training in SEL and Trauma-Informed ideology. Please provide the curriculum for these courses and explain how the district ensures these concepts do not lead to classroom activism or student psychoanalysis.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $7,020.00

| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
New Student ID Swipe System to ‘Enhance Monitoring’
Under Item 10.A, the district is piloting a new student attendance system from Raptor Technologies that uses ID cards to track students. While presented as an attendance tool, this system creates a new layer of student surveillance and data collection, monitoring their movements on campus.
Recommended Action Plan
Email the School Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding the Raptor attendance system in Item 10.A, what specific student data will be collected and stored? Who has access to this data, and what are the district’s policies for its use and retention? Parents must be fully informed before new surveillance technology is implemented.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $1,507.84

District Invests in Core Phonics Instruction
Under Item 8.D, the district is purchasing the ‘95% Core Phonics’ program for 4th grade. This is a positive move, showing a commitment to proven, evidence-based reading instruction over ineffective ‘whole language’ or balanced literacy methods.
How to Lock It In
AMPLIFY THIS WIN: Show up or email the board to thank them for prioritizing foundational reading skills by purchasing a phonics-based curriculum. This encourages a ‘back to basics’ approach and sets a positive example for other districts.
✅ Why It Matters: $2,634.40 (Title I Grant)
