Board Moves to Silence and Defund Dissenting Member
Under Item 6.A, the Board is voting to strip Board Member Kimberly Fisher of all district funding for professional development. This action is explicitly in response to her ‘actions at a previous public Board meeting,’ setting a dangerous precedent of using district funds to financially punish and silence any elected official who does not fall in line.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM & DEFEND REPRESENTATION: Email the Governing Board (contact info on district website): ‘Vote NO on Item 6.A. Using district funds to punish a duly elected board member is an abuse of power that silences the voters who elected them. This is a dangerous precedent that will not be tolerated.’
💰 Impact: Silencing Elected Representatives

Parents’ Right to Speak Capped at 30 Minutes Total
The rules for ‘Call to the Public’ (Item 8) state that the entire public comment period for the meeting is capped at 30 minutes total. The Board President also has the power to shorten individual speaking times, ensuring that if many parents show up to speak on a controversial issue, most will be silenced.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TO BE HEARD: Email the Governing Board (contact info on district website): ‘The 30-minute total time limit for public comment under Item 8 is an unacceptable restriction on parental and taxpayer speech. We demand this arbitrary cap be removed to allow for full public input.’
💰 Impact: Your Voice Silenced

Policy Change May Add ‘Gender Identity’ as Protected Class
Under Item 7.D, the Board is reviewing a revised ‘Equal Employment Opportunity’ policy to add ‘Non-Discrimination.’ These policies are the primary vehicle for inserting ‘gender identity’ and ‘gender expression’ as protected classes, which forces staff to comply with pronoun mandates and impacts bathroom and locker room safety.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘HR_GBA _ EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY.pdf’ attached in the Official Agenda (linked above). Check the list of protected classes for additions like ‘gender identity,’ ‘gender expression,’ or ‘sexual orientation’ and immediately alert the chapter.
💰 Impact: Gender Ideology in Policy

District Approving No-Bid ‘Sole Source’ Contracts in Secret
The Board is set to approve a list of no-bid ‘sole source’ contracts under Consent Agenda Item 5.H. These non-competitive contracts are a high risk for ideological vendors, but the district has not included the list of vendors in the public agenda, preventing any review before the vote.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board and demand Item 5.H be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate vote. ‘INVESTIGATE: Open the file ’10-6-26 Board Work – Additional Sole Source Contracts.pdf’ in the Official Agenda. No-bid contracts for curriculum or consulting must be challenged.’
💰 Impact: No-Bid Vendor Contracts

Bond Funds Spent on 6,500 New Student Devices
The district’s Bond Report (Item 3.B) reveals the purchase of 6,000 Chromebooks and 500 iPads for students. The district has not provided any independent evidence that this massive increase in screen time improves academic outcomes, or what direct teacher instruction it will replace.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND EVIDENCE: Email the Governing Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the Bond Report in Item 3.B, what independent, non-vendor-funded studies show these devices produce academic gains? Please publish the total daily screen time these 6,500 new devices will add before any more are purchased.’
💰 Impact: Increased Student Screen Time

Secret Vendor Contracts Hidden in Consent Agenda
The Board plans to approve a list of vendors via ‘cooperative purchasing contracts’ under Consent Agenda Item 5.F. The actual list of vendors and spending amounts was not included in the public agenda, preventing parents from seeing if the district is paying ideological consultants or curriculum providers.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ’10-6-26 Board Work – Additional Cooperative Contracts.pdf’ attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to check for contracts with ideological vendors like Panorama, CASEL, or Second Step. Demand Item 5.F be pulled for discussion.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Vendor Contracts

Undisclosed Extra-Duty Contracts Approved in Bulk
Under Consent Agenda Item 5.E, the board is approving ‘addenda contracts’ for extra staff duties. These lists can hide stipends for ideological work like ‘equity teams,’ but the document detailing the payments was not included in the public agenda, preventing review before the vote.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ’10-6-26 Board Work – Addenda.pdf’ attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains payments for ideological work like DEI or SEL committees. Demand Item 5.E be pulled for discussion.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Stipends

District Highlights School Psychologist Pipeline
The Director of Student Support Services is presenting on the district’s intern program for school psychologists (Item 3.A). This signals a focus on expanding psychological and ‘support’ services, which are often the delivery mechanism for SEL and mental health interventions that occur without full parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Email the Governing Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item 3.A, what specific training and ideological frameworks are these school psychologist interns taught? Will parents be required to provide active consent before their child receives services from an intern?’
💰 Impact: Expanding School Psychology Staff

| ALERT (LEVEL 2) |
|
District Celebrates Behavior Intervention Program Award
The district is publicly celebrating an award for its ‘Positive Behavioral Interventions and Support’ (PBIS) program (Item 1.F). PBIS is a school-wide framework for behavior modification that is often used to implement Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and can shift focus away from core academics.
Recommended Action Plan
Monitor: This award confirms the district’s commitment to PBIS. Watch for attempts to expand this program or link it to data collection on student behavior.
💰 Impact: Focus on Behavior, Not Academics
