Heads up! We have scanned the upcoming agenda for El Monte Union High. We found 10 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |
|
District Using At-Risk Students for Activist Research
The district is partnering with USC for a ‘Students Advocating for Growth and Equity (SAGE)’ study under Consent Item E.22. This program will use continuation high school students to develop new district policies based on their ‘lived experiences,’ effectively turning vulnerable children into political tools for an equity agenda.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is exploitation, not education. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘I demand Consent Item E.22 be pulled for a full public discussion. Our children are not research subjects for USC’s equity agenda. Vote NO.’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |

District Approving ‘Clinical Interns’ on Campus
The district is contracting with Azusa Pacific University for $94,180 to place ‘clinical interns’ in schools, funded by the ‘California Youth and Behavioral Health Initiative’ (Item E.17). This creates a school-based mental health presence that can operate without direct parental involvement or consent for services provided to your child.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Pull Consent Item E.17 for a separate vote. Parents must be the primary decision-makers for their children’s mental health. We do not consent to school-based clinics operating without our direct involvement.’
💰 Impact: $94,180 (State Strings Attached)

| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
$826k World Language Curriculum Hidden in Consent Vote
The board plans to approve a three-year, $826,491.96 contract with Vista Higher Learning for new World Language textbooks and digital materials (Item E.15). By placing this massive curriculum adoption on the consent agenda, the board is preventing public discussion and parental review before the vote.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND A REAL VOTE: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘I demand Consent Item E.15 be pulled from the consent agenda for a full presentation and public comment. Parents have a right to review curriculum before you spend nearly a million dollars on it.’
💰 Impact: $826,491.96

| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
District Mandates ‘Implicit Bias’ Training for School Leaders
Under item F.13, the district is paying The Danielson Group to train all instructional coaches and school leaders to ‘develop a deeper understanding of bias.’ This is ideological training that injects divisive concepts into the core of our schools’ leadership and instructional practices.
Recommended Action Plan
REJECT INDOCTRINATION: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Vote NO on Item F.13. Taxpayer money should fund academics, not ideological training focused on bias. Focus on reading, writing, and math.’
💰 Impact: $3,000.00
|
| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Board to Pass Resolution Celebrating ‘National Coming Out Day’
The board is scheduled to approve Resolution No. 14-26/27, officially ‘Celebrating National Coming Out Day’ (Item F.18). This is an official action by the school board to promote a specific social and political viewpoint, taking a side on a sensitive topic that belongs to families to discuss.
Recommended Action Plan
FOCUS ON ACADEMICS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Vote NO on Resolution 14-26/27 (Item F.18). The school board’s job is to focus on education, not to celebrate political or social events. Leave these conversations to families.’
💰 Impact: District-Endorsed Activism
|
| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
District Adopting ‘UDL’ and ‘MTSS’ Ideological Frameworks
The district is paying for leadership training on ‘Universal Design for Learning (UDL)’ and ‘Multi-tiered System of Support (MTSS)’ (Item E.18). These are well-known frameworks used to embed Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and equity-based practices into every aspect of the school day under the guise of ‘inclusive’ instruction.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Consent Item E.18, please explain how UDL and MTSS will be implemented and what specific SEL or equity metrics will be used. Parents deserve to know before these frameworks are adopted.’
💰 Impact: $750.00
|
| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Board Weakens Oversight of Bond Money
In two separate items (F.6 and F.7), the board is moving to allow the Citizens’ Bond Oversight Committee to meet remotely and is changing bylaws to allow members to serve more than three terms after a short break. These changes reduce in-person accountability and create the potential for a permanent, less-critical committee overseeing millions in taxpayer dollars.
Recommended Action Plan
PROTECT TAXPAYER OVERSIGHT: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Vote NO on items F.6 and F.7. The Bond Oversight Committee must have strong, independent, in-person oversight, not weaker rules that reduce accountability.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Taxpayer Oversight
|
| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
School to Track Student ‘Engagement’ with Point System
The board is approving a contract for ‘5 Star Students,’ a web platform that tracks and monitors student and parent participation in school activities using a point system (Item E.12). This is a data collection and behavior modification tool that creates a social credit-style system for students.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Consent Item E.12, what student data is collected by 5 Star Students, who owns it, and how can parents opt their children out of this tracking system? This vote should not happen until these questions are answered.’
💰 Impact: $6,345

| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
District Spending on More Unproven EdTech Software
The agenda includes multiple contracts for student-facing software, including Albert.io for test prep (E.13), Subject Technologies for English Learners (F.11), and Gizmos for Biology (F.12). The district has not provided any independent evidence that these programs improve academic outcomes or justified the increase in student screen time.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND PROOF: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Before voting on items E.13, F.11, and F.12, please provide the independent, non-vendor-supplied evidence that these products produce academic gains, and state how much daily screen time they will add.’
💰 Impact: Increased Screen Time
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Undisclosed Staff Conferences Require Review
Consent Item E.25 authorizes district employees to attend various professional conferences, but the list of conferences, attendees, and costs is contained in an attachment not included in the agenda. This prevents public oversight of taxpayer funds being used for potentially ideological or activist training events.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘October 7, 2026 (2).pdf’ attached to Item E.25 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm which conferences staff are attending with our tax dollars.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed
