Over $700k Spent on New, Undisclosed Curriculum
The district’s financial report reveals over $715,000 was spent on new curriculum, books, and instructional aids last year, from a total budget of $4 million. Parents have a right to know exactly what materials are being purchased with this money and to review them for ideological content before they enter the classroom.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND REVIEW: Email the Board and Superintendent (contact info on district website): ‘The Annual Financial Report shows over $700,000 spent on new curriculum. We request a public presentation of all curriculum and supplemental materials purchased last year, and we demand a transparent parental review process for all future curriculum adoptions before they are purchased.’
💰 Impact: $715,545
