This type of training often includes radical gender theory and sexually explicit content, bypassing parental values on these sensitive topics.

PACK THE ROOM: This is Item XV.V.xvii on the Consent Agenda. Email the Board of Education (contact info on district website): ‘Pull Item XV.V.xvii from the Consent Agenda for a full public discussion. Parents have a right to know exactly what ‘Positive Prevention’ is teaching our teachers about sex education.’

Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE & DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: This is Item XV.K. The contract attachment is not available. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item XV.K, what specific mental health services will be provided and will parents have full opt-in consent before any screening or service is administered to their child? Please provide the full MOU.’

QUESTION THE BOARD: This is Item XV.Q. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Why are our local tax dollars funding the political lobbying of the CSBA, an organization that often works against the interests of parents? Please justify this expenditure.’

The board is set to approve a $210,000, 3-year contract with ‘Studies Weekly, Inc.’ for K-5 Social Studies materials. Social Studies is a primary channel for introducing ideological concepts; this vendor and the specific curriculum must be vetted by parents before approval.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND REVIEW: This is Item XV.P. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Parents must have the opportunity to review the K-5 Social Studies curriculum from Studies Weekly before a $210,000 purchase is approved. Please table this vote until a public curriculum review can be held.’

$40,000 for Vague ‘Executive Coaching’
The district plans to pay ‘Carranza Educational Consulting, LLC’ $40,000 for ‘executive coaching services.’ This vague description could hide ideological training for administrators on topics like DEI or ‘equity,’ without any public transparency.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: This is Item XV.W.ii. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘What is the specific nature of the $40,000 in ‘executive coaching’ from Carranza Consulting? Parents deserve to know what leadership principles our administrators are being trained in.’

On-Site Vaccination Clinics Planned for Schools
The district is approving an agreement with Rx Consultants Group, Inc. to provide on-site vaccination clinics for students. While presented as optional, hosting medical services on campus can erode parental oversight and create pressure for students to participate without a parent present.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND CLARITY: This is Item XV.N. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the on-site vaccination clinics, what is the district’s specific policy to ensure no minor is vaccinated without a parent physically present and providing explicit, written consent on the day of the clinic?’

New Software for School Psychologists
The district is purchasing online scoring software from multiple vendors (Multi-Health Systems, NCS Pearson, Western Psychological Services) for school psychologists. These tools can be used for mental health or behavioral screenings that collect sensitive data on students, often without specific parental consent for each assessment.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: These are Items XV.X.xi, xii, and xix. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘What specific assessments will be administered using this new software, and will the district require active, opt-in parental consent before any psychological or behavioral screening is performed on a student?’

Ideologically-Biased News Source in Classrooms
The district is purchasing software from Newsela, Inc. for Las Palmas Middle School. Newsela provides news articles for students but has been widely criticized for presenting a one-sided, left-leaning political viewpoint under the guise of neutral educational content.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND BALANCE: This is Item XV.X.xiii. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Newsela is known for its political bias. What steps will the district take to ensure students are presented with balanced perspectives and not just one-sided ideological content from this vendor?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $2,300
