Complaint Procedures Hidden in Consent Agenda
The board is set to approve revised complaint procedures without public discussion by placing it on the consent agenda. The actual text of the new procedure is not included in the agenda packet provided, preventing parents from seeing if their right to file a complaint is being weakened.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and demand that ‘Revised Policy Regulation KL-R (N) Complaint Procedure’ be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. Parents have a right to know how their complaints will be handled.

New “Student Support” Role Could Hide SEL/Behavioral Intervention
The district is creating a new “Student Support Services” position for “academic intervention” and “targeted support strategies.” This vague language could be a cover for implementing Social Emotional Learning (SEL) or behavioral interventions like MTSS without direct academic focus or parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the ‘Student Support Services Job Description’ file attached in the Official Agenda (linked above). Check the specific duties and qualifications. Does this role involve SEL, behavioral screening, or other non-academic interventions with students?
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Student Interventions

Federal Grant Money with Potential Strings Attached
The board is approving revised budgets for federal grants, including Title I, II, IV, and McKinney-Vento. These grants often come with mandates for specific programs, data collection, or DEI/SEL initiatives that subvert local control and parental oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the files ‘2025-26 AMENDED Consolidated Application’ and ‘2025-26 AMENDED MCKINNEY-VENTO’ in the Official Agenda (linked above). Look for any requirements related to SEL, DEI, or student data sharing before this money is accepted.

Rules for Public Comment Undisclosed
The agenda references policies governing public participation at board meetings, but the text of these policies is not included. Parents need to know if their right to speak is being limited by new restrictions on time, topic, or conduct.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘Board Policy BDDH – Public Participation at Board Meetings’ attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm the rules for public comment. Are they fair and reasonable, or do they limit parents’ ability to hold the board accountable?

Monitoring Massive $20M Federal Grant
The district is awaiting news on a $20 million federal grant from the Defense Community Infrastructure Program (DCIP). While for infrastructure, parents must monitor all large federal grants for hidden requirements or ideological strings that may be attached.
Recommended Action Plan
Monitor: The district is waiting on this grant. Keep this on the radar. If the grant is awarded, we must immediately demand to see the full grant application and all associated conditions.
