District Pushes ‘Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion’ Ideology
The administration is presenting its commitment to DEI, using phrases like ‘address institutional racism’ and ‘dismantle systemic obstacles.’ This is the language of Critical Race Theory, signaling a district-wide focus on political ideology instead of academic excellence.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is an ‘Information Item,’ so there’s no vote, but we must show up for public comment. Sign up to speak and tell the board: ‘Parents want a focus on math, reading, and science, not divisive political ideologies like DEI. Keep CRT out of our schools.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Focus on Academics

Over $5 Million in Undisclosed Spending on Consent Agenda
The board plans to approve a $5,335,445.72 ‘Payment of Claims’ report in a single vote without public discussion. This common tactic can be used to hide payments to controversial consultants or curriculum providers.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘I demand Item 4.c, Payment of Claims, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion. Parents deserve to know exactly where our $5.3 million in tax dollars is going.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $5,335,445.72

Board to Vote on Gun Control Lobbying Resolution
The board is voting on Resolution 2026-16, which uses district resources and its official position to lobby other government bodies on firearm zoning laws. This is political activism on an issue outside the scope of education, using our schools as a platform.
Recommended Action Plan
REFOCUS THE BOARD: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Vote NO on Resolution 2026-16. The board’s job is to focus on education, not to engage in political activism on divisive, non-educational issues.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying

New ‘Health Linkages’ Program Brings Screenings into Classrooms
The district is approving an MOU for a ‘Health Linkages Program’ that will conduct health screenings (vision, hearing, BMI, dental) and ‘health education’ in preschool classrooms. This raises serious questions about parental consent and what is being taught to our youngest children when parents are not present.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item 5.d, what is the exact curriculum for the ‘health education’ component, and will parents be required to give active, written consent before any health screenings are performed on their child?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Parental Consent

Vague ‘Anti-Bullying’ Presentation Requires Review
The district is presenting its ‘Anti-Bullying Efforts.’ While the goal is good, these programs are often used as a Trojan horse to introduce Social Emotional Learning (SEL) or identity politics into the school.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘Anti Bullying Efforts in GUSD’ attached to Item 6.b in the Official Agenda (linked above) to see if it promotes SEL or other ideological frameworks instead of focusing on direct, common-sense anti-bullying tactics.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Hidden SEL Curriculum
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Vague ‘Behavior, Health and Safety Update’ Requires Review
The board will receive an update on ‘Behavior, Health and Safety.’ The agenda provides no details, and the attached document could not be reviewed. These vague titles can hide new surveillance or disciplinary policies.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘Behavior, Health, and Safety Update- 8.19.26’ attached to Item 6.a in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Policies

Major Win: District Strengthens Parental Opt-Out Rights
The board is voting to approve a new Parent Rights policy (BP 5020) that explicitly requires the district to notify parents of their right to opt their children out of controversial instruction. This is a direct result of a recent court decision and strengthens our ability to protect our kids from unwanted lessons.
How to Lock It In
SECURE THE WIN: Email the Board (contact info on district website) and attend the meeting to thank them for approving BP 5020. Say: ‘Thank you for strengthening parental rights and codifying our right to opt children out of sensitive instruction.’ This gets it on the record and makes it harder to reverse.
✅ Why It Matters: Parental Authority
