| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |
|
Trojan Horse Contract Pre-Approves SEL and Teletherapy Vendors
Under the vague title ‘Comprehensive Educational Services,’ the Board is approving a massive, multi-vendor contract that pre-qualifies providers for highly controversial services. This includes ‘Social-Emotional Learning programs,’ ‘mental health and wellness initiatives,’ and teletherapy companies like eLuma and Presence Learning, which provide psychological services to students on school devices, often without parental presence.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is the most dangerous item on the agenda. Contact the Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link for contact details): ‘Pull Item 5.M from the Consent Agenda for a full public discussion. Do not give a blank check to SEL and teletherapy vendors. Vote NO.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Bypassing Public Review

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |

New Policy Restricts Public Comment at Board Meetings
The Board is adopting a new policy, BED(LOCAL), that requires parents to sign up by 5 PM on the day of the meeting and pre-submit all handout materials for review by the Superintendent’s office. This policy creates significant barriers to free speech and is designed to screen and control what parents can say and share at public meetings.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This policy is a direct attack on your right to be heard. Contact the District Office and the Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link for contact details): ‘I oppose the restrictive public comment rules in Policy BED(LOCAL). Do not silence parents. Vote NO on Item 3.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Right to Speak

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Medicaid Billing Contract Expands School’s Role in Student Health
The district is extending its contract for third-party Medicaid billing (SHARS). This program incentivizes the district to provide billable ‘health’ services, including counseling and psychological assessments, to students with disabilities, expanding the school’s role into mental healthcare without guaranteeing direct parental involvement in each session.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Contact the Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link for contact details): ‘Regarding Item 5.K, what are the specific parental consent and notification procedures for every psychological or counseling service billed through SHARS? Parents must be informed before every session, not just via a blanket IEP signature.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: School-Based Mental Health

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Vague ‘Educational Consulting’ Contract Requires Investigation
The Board is approving a new contract with Dr. Zelaya Educational Consulting LLC, but the agenda packet fails to include the attachment describing the actual services to be provided. This lack of transparency prevents parents from knowing what this consultant will be doing with students and staff.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘Supplier Response (Dr. Zelaya Educational Consulting LLC)’ attached to Item 5.J in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes or ideological training.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Services

| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Consultant Contract Pushes ‘Cultural Competence’ Training
The district is extending a contract with National Multilingual Services LLC for teacher training. The vendor’s own documents state their services include training on ‘cultural competence,’ ‘cultural responsiveness,’ and creating ‘inclusive environments,’ which are often entry points for DEI ideology.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Superintendent (see the Official Agenda link for contact details): ‘Pull Item 5.H from the Consent Agenda. Parents deserve to know what ‘cultural competence’ training entails before it is approved.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Ideological Teacher Training
