Student Handbook Allows Surveys Without Parental Consent
The new Student Handbook contains a policy allowing the school to survey students on various matters at the Director’s discretion. The policy does not mention parental notification or the right to opt-out, creating a loophole for data collection on sensitive topics without your knowledge.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on the district website) before the meeting: ‘Regarding Item 9.A, the Student Handbook must be amended to require written parental consent before any non-academic student survey is administered. I do not consent to my child being surveyed without my knowledge.’

District Hiring ‘Cultural’ Consultant for Technical Programs
The board is voting to hire a ‘Cultural and Instructional Coach’ for the Advanced Manufacturing and Heavy Equipment programs at a cost of up to $11,040. It is unclear what ‘cultural’ training is relevant to these technical skills, which raises concerns that this is a backdoor for introducing ideological concepts like DEI into career and tech classrooms.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE QUESTION: Email the Board (contact info on the district website): ‘Regarding Item 9.H, please provide a public definition of the term ‘Cultural Coach’ and a full list of training topics Ms. Yochim-Chivers will cover. Taxpayer funds should be for skills, not social agendas.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $11,040

Over One-Third of Students Now Under ‘Special Support’ Plans
A curriculum report reveals that 34% of the student body is now receiving support through an IEP or a Chapter 15 Service Plan. This unusually high percentage suggests the district may be expanding definitions of ‘special needs’ to include behavioral and emotional interventions, potentially without full parental awareness of the scope.
Recommended Action Plan
MONITOR: This is a concerning trend. Ask your chapter leaders to track if this percentage continues to rise and to request a public presentation from the district on the criteria used for placing students on these support plans.

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The board is set to approve a facility use request from an entity listed as ‘Groovy Pooch/USCSS.’ The attachment explaining this request was not available for analysis. The acronym ‘USCSS’ is not defined, and it’s important to know who is being granted access to school property.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ’14B_ECTS May 2027 Building Use Applicaiton_July2026.pdf’ attached to Item 14.B in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm the identity of ‘USCSS’ and the nature of their request.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Group Access
