Heads up! We have scanned the upcoming agenda for Dieringer School District. We found 7 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |
|
Policy Allows School Staff to Consent to Medical Care for Students
Policy 3115, up for a second and final vote, contains a provision allowing a ‘school nurse, school counselor, or homeless student liaison’ to provide informed consent for medical care for students defined as ‘homeless.’ The definition of homeless is extremely broad and can include any child ‘sharing the housing of other persons due to… economic hardship,’ allowing the school to replace a parent in making healthcare decisions.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a critical threat to parental rights. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Vote NO on Policy 3115 under Item 6.B. No school employee should ever be authorized to provide medical consent for a child. That is the non-negotiable right and responsibility of a parent.’
💰 Impact: Your Parental Consent

| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Attendance Policy Triggers Student ‘Risk’ Assessments
The board is set to approve Policy 3122, a new attendance policy that uses unexcused absences as a trigger for intervention. After a few absences, the school can administer the ‘Washington Assessment of the Risks and Needs of Students (WARNS),’ turning a simple attendance issue into a gateway for psychological screening and outside intervention without clear parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Policy 3122 in Item 6.B, parents must have the right to opt their children out of the WARNS assessment. What is the ‘community engagement board’ and who are its members? Vote NO until the right to refuse these interventions is guaranteed.’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |

$900,000 Transfer for Undisclosed ‘Digital Curriculum’
The financial report under item 10.A reveals a planned $900,000 transfer from the Capital Projects Fund to the General Fund to pay for ‘digital curriculum’ and ‘technology equipment.’ The report provides no details on the specific curriculum, vendors, or evidence that these products improve academic outcomes, representing a significant expenditure on screen-based learning with no public oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the $900,000 transfer in Item 10.A, provide a detailed list of the ‘digital curriculum’ and vendors being purchased. The district must publish independent evidence of these products’ academic effectiveness and the total daily screen time they will add for students before this transfer is finalized.’
💰 Impact: $900,000

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |

District Considers ‘Sanctuary School’ Policy
In a first reading under Item 6.A, the board is considering Policy 4300, which would severely restrict cooperation with federal immigration authorities on school grounds. The policy requires staff to deny access to immigration enforcement unless they produce a judicial warrant, effectively making schools a sanctuary space and prioritizing a political stance over cooperation with federal law enforcement.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a first reading, so we have time to stop it. Sign up for public comment at the next meeting. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Vote NO on Policy 4300. The school board’s job is to focus on education, not to obstruct federal law enforcement.’
💰 Impact: Political Agenda
|
| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
New Pre-K Program to Screen and Track 4-Year-Olds
The board is giving a second read to Policy 2230, creating a ‘Transition to Kindergarten’ program. This program will use a ‘screening process’ to identify 4-year-olds who need ‘additional preparation’ and track them with the WaKIDS state assessment tool. This creates a system of early surveillance and data collection on our youngest children before they even start kindergarten.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Policy 2230 in Item 6.B, what specific ‘screening process and tools’ will be used on 4-year-olds? Parents have a right to know exactly how their children are being assessed and what data is being collected before this program is approved.’
💰 Impact: Early Childhood Surveillance
|
| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Undisclosed Superintendent Goals Up for Approval
The board will vote to approve the Superintendent’s goals under Item 9.A, but the goals themselves are not published in the agenda. Parents have no way of knowing if these goals prioritize academics or ideological initiatives. This lack of transparency prevents public oversight of the district’s direction.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Postpone the vote on Item 9.A. The Superintendent’s goals must be published for community review with adequate time before the Board takes action. We will not accept a vote on secret goals.’
💰 Impact: Lack of Transparency
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
‘Digital Citizenship’ Policy on Consent Agenda
The board is set to approve Policy 2022, which introduces concepts like ‘Digital Citizenship,’ ‘globally aware,’ and ‘civically engaged’ into internet safety rules. While presented as safety, this language can be a gateway for embedding political and social agendas into technology use.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘I demand Item 3.F, specifically Policy 2022, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and vote. Parents deserve to know what ‘Digital Citizenship’ means in the classroom before it becomes policy.’
💰 Impact: Ideological Framing
