Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Jefferson Local. We found 4 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
School-Based Mental Health Clinic Bypassing Parents
The district is approving service and lease agreements with a private company, Darby Creek Counseling, to provide on-site “behavioral health services” to students during the school day. This establishes a school-based clinic, which can reduce parental oversight and create opportunities for children to receive counseling without direct parental involvement or full knowledge of the session content.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email Superintendent Jessica Mamais at jmamais@westjeff.org: ‘Item D.2, the Darby Creek agreements, must be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a full discussion. What is the specific parental consent process before a child receives these on-site services, and how can parents review session notes?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Parental Oversight
|
| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
University Partnership Creates Ideological Intern Pipeline
The district is approving an agreement with Capella University to place their student interns in schools for “Counseling, Psychology, and Social Work.” University programs, especially those following standards from the Council on Social Work Education, often train students in controversial DEI, social justice, and anti-racism theories which they will then practice on K-12 children.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND VETTING: Email Superintendent Jessica Mamais at jmamais@westjeff.org: ‘Regarding the Capella University agreement in Item D.2, what is the district’s process for vetting the ideological training these interns receive before they are allowed contact with students? Parents must have the right to opt their children out of all interactions with these interns.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Ideological Indoctrination

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The board is set to approve a new tentative agreement with the West Jefferson Education Association (teachers’ union) under the consent agenda. The document detailing the agreement was referenced but its text was not extracted, creating a transparency issue. Union contracts can contain significant policy changes affecting curriculum and parental rights that go far beyond salary.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘WJEA.Tentative.Agreement.8.12.26.with.Salary.Schedule.pdf’ attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Policy Changes

| Win (LEVEL 5) |

Potential Win for Transparency: Streaming Meetings
Under Discussion Item C.2, the board is scheduled to discuss streaming its meetings. This is a major potential step toward transparency, allowing busy parents to stay informed even when they cannot attend in person.
How to Lock It In
AMPLIFY THIS WIN: Email Superintendent Jessica Mamais at jmamais@westjeff.org and the Board of Education: ‘Thank you for discussing streaming board meetings under Item C.2. Please vote YES on this important initiative; transparency is critical for parental involvement and trust.’
