Parents Must Register 5 Days in Advance to Speak
The board’s public comment policy requires parents to register their intent to speak five days before the meeting. This rule prevents parents from responding to last-minute agenda items and creates a barrier to public participation.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND A VOICE: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link) and demand they revise the policy in Item III.A to allow for public comment without a 5-day pre-registration requirement. ‘Parents have a right to be heard on all matters concerning their children, including those that arise just before a meeting.’
π° Impact: Suppressed Parent Voices

$20,000 Unbudgeted for ‘Specialized Training’
The board plans to approve an unbudgeted $20,000 contract with Total Education Solutions (TES) for ‘specialized training for teachers’ and support for ‘high need’ students. The vague language and unverified vendor could conceal the introduction of SEL or behavioral interventions without parental oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link) and ask that the Total Education Solutions contract in Item V.B be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate vote. ‘Parents deserve to know what ‘specialized training’ our teachers are receiving and what services TES will provide to students before you approve this unbudgeted $20,000 expense.’
π° Impact: $20,000 (Unbudgeted)

Vague Title β Manual Review Required
Item V.D on the Consent Agenda approves ‘Personnel Actions’ but refers to details in ‘School Resolutions’ which are not included in the agenda packet. This prevents the public from knowing who the district is hiring, promoting, or what positions are being created before the vote.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes. Specifically, look at the ‘School Resolutions’ referenced in Item V.D to see who the district is hiring.
π° Impact: Undisclosed Hires

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |

Vague $3,250 Contract for ‘Intensive Assistance’
The board is voting on two contracts with LV Consulting for $3,250 to provide ‘intensive assistance in the classroom.’ The agenda provides no detail on what this ‘assistance’ entails, which could range from academic coaching to ideological training for teachers.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK FIRST: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link) regarding Consent Item V.B. ‘What specific services will LV Consulting provide under the ‘intensive assistance’ contract? Please provide the curriculum or training materials for public review before this vote.’
π° Impact: $3,250

| ALERT (LEVEL 3) |
|
District to Update on ‘Community Building’ Project
The agenda includes an update on a ‘Near West Community Building facilitation project.’ While presented as informational, terms like ‘community building’ are often euphemisms for implementing social-emotional or DEI-related programs.
Recommended Action Plan
Monitor: This is an informational item (VI.A), but listen closely to the presentation for keywords like ‘equity,’ ‘restorative practices,’ or ‘social-emotional learning.’ Be prepared to ask questions during the next public comment period if ideological content is revealed.
π° Impact: Potential SEL/DEI Program
