School Plan Confirms ‘RULER’ SEL Program Rollout
The School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) for Mountain View Elementary, presented in Item 14.01, explicitly states the district is rolling out the ‘RULER’ Social-Emotional Learning program to students. The plan is built on ideological concepts like ‘The Whole Child,’ ‘Restorative Practices,’ and a district ‘Equity Statement’ that includes ‘sexual orientation’ and ‘gender.’
Recommended Action Plan
This is an informational item, not a vote, but it’s a preview of policy. Sign up for public comment on Item 14.01 and ask the Board: ‘What academic instruction time will be lost to implement the RULER SEL program? Parents send their children to school for academics, not emotional programming.’
💰 Impact: Replacing Academics

Two School ‘Achievement’ Plans Hidden on Consent Agenda
Item 17.02 on the Consent Agenda asks for a rubber-stamp approval of the School Plans for Student Achievement (SPSA) for Vista del Valle and Condit elementary schools. Given that another school’s SPSA is filled with SEL and Equity programming, these plans could contain similar ideological content hidden from public debate.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board at CUSD_Board@cusd.claremont.edu: ‘I demand Item 17.02 be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and vote. Parents deserve to see the full SPSA plans and hear you debate their contents before they are approved.’
💰 Impact: Ideological Programming

Undisclosed Vendor Contracts on Consent Agenda
Item 17.09 asks the Board to approve multiple vendor agreements without public discussion by placing them on the Consent Agenda. The attachment listing the vendors and their services is not included in the public packet, potentially hiding contracts with ideological consultants or SEL curriculum providers.
Recommended Action Plan
PULL THE ITEM: Email the Board at CUSD_Board@cusd.claremont.edu: ‘Pull Item 17.09 from the Consent Agenda. The public has a right to know who the district is paying and for what services before these contracts are approved.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
New ‘Student Services’ Coordinator Role Created
Item 15.01 revises a job description, changing it from a facilities-focused role to ‘Senior Coordinator, Adult School and Student Services.’ ‘Student Services’ is often where districts house SEL, DEI, and other non-academic, ideological programming, but the new job description was not provided.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK FOR THE DETAILS: Email the Board at CUSD_Board@cusd.claremont.edu before the meeting: ‘Regarding Item 15.01, please publish the revised job description. What new responsibilities fall under ‘Student Services’ that were not in the previous role?’
💰 Impact: Ideological Staffing

Undisclosed Budget Changes on Consent Agenda
Items 17.04 (Budget Transfer) and 17.06 (Budget Adjustments) are on the consent calendar, meaning they will be approved without discussion. The attachments explaining these financial moves are not provided, preventing public oversight of how taxpayer money is being reallocated.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND OVERSIGHT: Email the Board at CUSD_Board@cusd.claremont.edu: ‘Please pull items 17.04 and 17.06 from the Consent Agenda. The public deserves a plain-English explanation for all budget changes before they are approved.’
💰 Impact: Lack of Transparency

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Field Trip Justified by ‘Access and Equity’ Ideology
An overnight field trip in Item 17.03 is being justified using the district’s ideological focus areas of ‘The Whole Child’ and ‘Access and Equity.’ This suggests that non-academic, social agendas are being woven into student activities, but the details of the trip are not provided.
Recommended Action Plan
QUESTION THE PREMISE: Email the Board at CUSD_Board@cusd.claremont.edu: ‘Regarding Item 17.03, how does ‘Access and Equity’ apply to this field trip? Parents need to understand the educational purpose of trips, not the ideological justification.’
💰 Impact: Ideological Framing
