| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
District Paying Teachers for ‘Ruler-SEL’ Training
Item 7.G shows the district is paying teachers for ‘Ruler-SEL Training.’ Ruler is a specific Social Emotional Learning program from Yale that embeds emotional analysis and regulation into academics, shifting focus from core subjects to subjective emotional skills.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This confirms a major SEL program is being integrated into the curriculum. Sign up for public comment. Email the Board of Education (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Parents send their children to school for academics, not for emotional engineering. Vote NO on any curriculum development tied to the RULER SEL program.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Replacing Academics

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
Code of Conduct Rushed to Adoption Without Public Review
The Board is voting to adopt the 2026-27 District Code of Conduct and waiving the second reading, which limits public input (Item 8.C). The actual document is not attached to the agenda, hiding critical policies on discipline, bullying, and potentially gender identity from parents before the vote.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND A DELAY: Email the Board of Education (see the Official Agenda link) before Tuesday’s meeting: ‘Do not waive the second reading for the District Code of Conduct. Table the vote on Item 8.C until the full text is posted online for at least two weeks for public review. Rushing this vote is a violation of public trust.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Board Oversight

District Staffs ‘Restorative Justice’ Coordinator Roles
The district is appointing two ‘Restorative Justice co-coordinators’ (items 7.F.35 and 7.F.107). Restorative Justice is an ideological approach that often replaces consequences for misbehavior with therapy sessions and group dialogue, which can undermine classroom discipline and safety.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Board of Education (see the Official Agenda link): ‘I am concerned about the appointments for Restorative Justice coordinators. I demand the board publicly explain how this program will impact student discipline and safety, and what training materials these coordinators will use.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Weakened Discipline

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Contract for ‘Dating Violence’ and ‘Sexual Assault’ Prevention
The board is approving a contract with an outside group, ‘The Retreat,’ to run a grant-funded program on domestic violence, dating violence, and sexual assault. These sensitive topics can be used to introduce ideological concepts about gender and relationships without parental review.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: This contract is listed under item 5.A.8 but the details are not provided. Email the Board of Education to demand a full copy of the contract and any associated curriculum from ‘The Retreat’ before it is approved. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask: ‘What curriculum will ‘The Retreat’ use and is it available for parental review?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Ideological Content

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
District Staffs ‘Mental Health Peer Support’ Role
A staff member is being appointed to a ‘Mental Health Peer Support’ role (item 7.F.181). This raises serious questions about using students to provide mental health services to other students, the training and oversight involved, and whether this happens without parental notification or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding the Mental Health Peer Support role, what are the specific parental notification and opt-out procedures before a student can participate, either as a peer counselor or as a recipient of services?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Parental Consent Violation
|
| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
District Centralizes Student Data Privacy Agreements
Under item 5.F, the board is authorizing an outside consortium (RIC ONE Risk Operations Center) to negotiate data privacy agreements with software vendors on its behalf. This reduces direct local oversight and makes it harder for parents to track who is getting access to their children’s personal information.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding item 5.F, how will parents be notified of new data sharing agreements negotiated by the RIC ONE consortium? Where can we find a public list of all vendors with access to student data under these agreements?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Privacy
