Teacher Training Manual Pushes “Equitable Discipline”
Item B60 approves the district’s Professional Learning Catalog, which trains administrators in “equitable discipline.” This is a cornerstone of Restorative Practices, which often leads to weaker consequences for disruptive behavior and can make classrooms less safe for all students.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a direct pipeline for ideology into our schools. Email the School Board (contact info on the district website): ‘I oppose the approval of the Professional Learning Catalog (Item B60) until all references to racially-motivated ‘equitable discipline’ are removed. Do not sacrifice student safety for a political agenda.’

District Approving $1.8M Vendor List Full of Activist Suppliers
Item C200 approves a $1.8 million purchasing agreement with a long list of vendors for classroom supplies. This list includes highly controversial suppliers like Scholastic, Follett, and Project Lead The Way, known for pushing ideological and age-inappropriate content on students through books and curriculum.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the School Board (contact info on the district website): ‘Pull Item C200 from the Consent Agenda. Parents demand a public discussion on why the district is approving activist vendors like Scholastic and Follett. We need a vendor review process that protects children, not political agendas.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $1,800,000.00

Board to Spend $111k on “Culture Amp” Staff Surveys
Item C341 approves a $111,787.60 contract for “Culture Amp,” an “employee engagement platform.” These platforms are frequently used to survey staff on compliance with DEI initiatives and enforce ideological conformity under the guise of improving “culture and climate.”
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: Email the School Board (contact info on the district website): ‘Regarding Item C341, what specific questions will be asked of staff through Culture Amp, and will the board commit to making all survey questions and aggregate results public? Taxpayer funds should not be used for ideological litmus tests on teachers.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $111,787.60

Hidden Changes to High School Grade Weighting Policy
Item B1 introduces a first reading of the new Student Progression Plan. The summary of modifications confirms a change to the “Weighted Grade Point Average (WGPA)” for high schoolers. This is a common backdoor for implementing “Equitable Grading,” which can eliminate honors weighting, remove penalties for late work, and lower academic standards.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The full text of the plan was not successfully extracted. Open the file ‘SY27 SPP First Read July 2026.pdf’ in the Official Agenda (linked above) to find the exact changes to grade weighting. Email the board with specific quotes and demand they preserve academic merit.

District Hires More Mental Health and Behavior Staff
The Personnel List (Item E1) includes appointments for multiple ‘Behavior Analyst Management Specialists,’ ‘Licensed Mental Health Professionals,’ and ‘School Psychologists.’ This expands the school’s role from education to therapy and behavior modification, often without full parental knowledge or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Email the School Board (contact info on the district website): ‘Regarding the new mental health and behavior staff in Item E1, what is the district’s policy for notifying and obtaining consent from parents BEFORE these staff members conduct any assessment or intervention with a student?’

Vague $54k Contract for ‘Instructional Coaching’ in Head Start
Item B3 is a $53,769 contract with Florida Gulf Coast University for ‘instructional coaching services’ in Head Start classrooms. Federal Head Start programs often have ideological requirements, and ‘coaching’ can be a vehicle for introducing SEL or other concepts to our youngest learners. The contract details were not provided.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ’26-825 FGCU ELLM.pdf’ attached to Item B3 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm what this ‘coaching’ entails. Email the board and ask for a public explanation of the curriculum and methods being used.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $53,769.00

Contract Renewal for Politically Biased Research Database
Item C320 renews the district’s contract with ProQuest for the ‘SIRS Issues Researcher’ database. This tool is presented to students as a neutral source for research on controversial topics, but its content selection can be heavily biased, steering students toward progressive conclusions.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the School Board (contact info on the district website): ‘Regarding Item C320, parents have a right to know what sources their children are using. The district should promote primary source documents, not biased databases like SIRS Issues Researcher. Please provide information on alternative research tools available to students.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Unbiased Research

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |

District Formalizing Student ‘Progress Monitoring’ System
Item B2 approves the statewide assessment calendar, which includes the ‘Collier Quarter Benchmark Assessment (QBA)’ for ‘progress monitoring.’ This formalizes a system of constant data collection on students, which is the foundation for Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) that can lead to interventions without full parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
MONITOR: Email the School Board (contact info on the district website): ‘Regarding the progress monitoring in Item B2, who owns the data collected through the QBA system, and with which third-party vendors is it shared? Parents must be able to opt-out of non-mandated data collection.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Student Data Privacy
