| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |
|
New Policy Allows In-Person ‘Wellness Checks’ at Students’ Homes
A new policy, 204.1, mandates weekly ‘wellness checks’ for all virtual students, requiring them to be ‘visibly seen’ by a district employee. If a student misses these checks, the policy allows the district to conduct an ‘in-person wellness check’ at the student’s home within 24 hours, creating a system of surveillance and home intrusion.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a critical threat to family privacy. Email the Board (contact info on the district website) and attend the meeting to speak against Item 6.B: ‘Vote NO on Policy 204.1. The district has no right to conduct surveillance or in-person ‘wellness checks’ at my home. This is a gross violation of parental rights.’
💰 Impact: Family Privacy Violation

| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |

Policy Change Makes School Health Exams Mandatory Without Parent Request
The proposed change to Policy 209 under Item 6.B removes the requirement for a parent to request a school health or dental exam. The new language makes these exams mandatory for all students at specified grade levels, eroding parental consent and forcing parents to actively opt-out rather than opt-in.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND A ‘NO’ VOTE: Email the Board (contact info on the district website) before the meeting: ‘Regarding Item 6.B, I urge you to vote NO on the proposed changes to Policy 209. Medical examinations are a parental decision. The district must not remove the parental request requirement for these services.’
💰 Impact: Erosion of Medical Consent

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
New ‘African American Studies’ Course Proposed Without Curriculum Details
The district is proposing a new ‘HS African American Studies’ course on the consent agenda (Item 5.E), but the curriculum documents are not attached to the public agenda. These courses often contain ideological content like Critical Race Theory, and parents have a right to see the full curriculum before it’s approved.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file for ‘HS African American Studies’ under Item 5.E in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains ideological content. If the file is missing or vague, email the Board (contact info on the district website): ‘I demand the ‘HS African American Studies’ course proposal under Item 5.E be pulled from the consent agenda until the full curriculum is made public for parental review.’
💰 Impact: Ideological Curriculum

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |

New ‘School Wellness’ Policy to Govern Classroom Parties, Social Media
Under Item 6.B, the board will review Policy 246, a broad ‘School Wellness’ policy. This policy creates a ‘Wellness Committee’ and gives the district control over classroom parties, student rewards, and a ‘social media literacy program,’ which can be a gateway for SEL and mental health surveillance.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on the district website): ‘Regarding Policy 246, parents, not the district, should decide what is appropriate for classroom celebrations. What curriculum will be used for the ‘social media literacy’ program, and will parents have the right to review it and opt out?’
💰 Impact: District Overreach

| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |

District to Approve ‘Queer Student Alliance’ Instagram Account
Under Consent Item 5.F, the board is set to approve a new, official district social media account for the ‘Queer Student Alliance.’ This raises questions about the school promoting specific ideologies and what content will be shared on a district-sanctioned platform accessible to all students.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK FIRST: Email the Board (contact info on the district website): ‘Regarding Item 5.F, who will be monitoring the content posted to the Queer Student Alliance Instagram account? What are the district’s policies for ensuring all content is age-appropriate and that the account is not used for political activism or to promote gender ideology without parental consent?’
💰 Impact: School-Sponsored Activism

District Accepts Federal Funds With Potential Strings Attached
Item 7.C lists several federal grants (Title I, II, III, IV) being accepted by the district. These funds often come with mandates for specific DEI/SEL curricula or data-sharing requirements that are not disclosed to parents.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on the district website): ‘Regarding Item 7.C, please provide a full accounting of any and all curriculum, training, or data-sharing mandates attached to the federal funds listed. Taxpayers deserve to know what strings are attached to this money.’
💰 Impact: Federal Strings Attached

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Board to Use Taxpayer Resources for Political Lobbying
Under Item 10.C, the Board plans to ‘compile a letter in support of Early Childhood Education.’ This means the Board is using its official position and taxpayer-funded resources to engage in political lobbying on an external issue, taking a side without a direct mandate from voters.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK FIRST: Email the Board (contact info on the district website): ‘Regarding Item 10.C, what specific legislation or policy is the Board planning to support? The Board’s role is to govern the district, not to engage in political lobbying on behalf of a specific ideology or external cause.’
💰 Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying
