District Seeks Award for “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” Initiatives
The Board is voting to approve an application for a “Board of Distinction Award” that explicitly highlights its commitment to “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI).” The application documents confirm the district operates under ideological “Drivers” like “Collective and Individual Identity” and has a formal “Equity Statement,” while the Superintendent’s letter boasts of strengthening “social-emotional learning.”
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Education (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the CABE Award Application, I am concerned that the district is prioritizing DEI and SEL over academic excellence. Please explain how the ‘Collective and Individual Identity’ driver improves math and reading scores before you vote to approve this application.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Replacing Academics

New District Website Promotes “Diversity & Equity”
A presentation on the new district website reveals it is structured around “District Drivers” that include “Collective and Individual Identity” and “Beliefs” such as “Diversity & Equity.” This framework embeds ideological concepts into the primary communication tool for parents, normalizing these priorities over core academics.
Recommended Action Plan
PUT THEM ON NOTICE: Email the Board of Education (contact info on district website): ‘The new website’s focus on ‘Diversity & Equity’ and ‘Collective Identity’ is concerning. Please ensure the website’s primary focus remains on academic resources, curriculum transparency, and student achievement data.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Ideological Framing

| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |

Grant Funding Used for “Increasing Educator Diversity”
Buried in the Fiscal Committee’s attachments is a grant expenditure report showing the district is using grant money for a program called “Increasing Educator Diversity.” This funnels resources toward hiring based on identity politics rather than merit, and it’s a clear sign of the district’s ideological priorities.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE QUESTION: Email the Board of Education (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the Fiscal Committee Report, what are the metrics for the ‘Increasing Educator Diversity’ grant program? Parents expect the district to hire the most qualified candidate for every position, regardless of identity.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $6,900

District Cites “Fiscal Cost” to Avoid Posting Meeting Recordings
An email from the Superintendent reveals the district will not post audio recordings of its Fiscal Committee meetings online, citing the cost of creating ADA-compliant transcripts. While the audio is available “on demand,” this policy creates a barrier for busy parents who need easy, transparent access to financial discussions.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ACCESS: Email the Board of Education (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the Fiscal Committee Report, parents need easy access to financial discussions. Please find a cost-effective solution to post audio recordings of all public meetings, as waiting for ‘on demand’ requests is not sufficiently transparent.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Transparency
