| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
District-Wide Push for Social-Emotional Learning (SEL)
The board is set to approve new District and Campus Improvement Plans under Consent Item VII.G. These plans embed Social-Emotional Learning (SEL), ‘Restorative Practices,’ and the ‘Second Step’ curriculum into daily school operations, shifting focus from core academics to managing student emotions and behaviors—a role that belongs to parents.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Trustees (contact info on district website): ‘I demand Consent Item VII.G be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. Parents deserve to hear the Board publicly debate replacing academics with SEL, Restorative Practices, and the Second Step curriculum.’
💰 Impact: Replacing Academics

School Health Advisory Council (SHAC) Report on Consent Agenda
The board plans to ‘Receive’ the annual School Health Advisory Council (SHAC) report as part of the consent agenda (Item VII.F). SHACs are often used to introduce controversial health and sex-ed policies with minimal public scrutiny. The full report was not included in the public packet, preventing parental review before the meeting.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘SHAC Annual Report to Board 2025-2026’ attached to Item VII.F in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes. Email the Board to pull this item for public discussion regardless.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Health Policies

Vague ‘Improvement Plan’ for Junior High — Manual Review Required
Item VII.H on the consent agenda asks the board to approve a ‘Local Improvement Plan’ for La Porte Junior High. Given that other campus improvement plans in this agenda are filled with SEL and ‘Restorative Practices,’ this vaguely titled item requires immediate parental review. The plan documents were not included in the public packet.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the files attached to Item VII.H in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether they contain SEL or other ideological programs. Email the Board to pull this item from the consent agenda for full public review before any vote.
💰 Impact: Potential SEL Expansion

Undisclosed Special Education Contracted Services
The board is voting to approve a ‘Purchase of Special Education Contracted Services’ under Item VII.L on the consent agenda. These contracts can bring in outside vendors who provide mental health or behavioral services without full parental consent or transparency. The vendor and contract details were not included in the public packet.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached to Item VII.L in the Official Agenda (linked above) to identify the vendor and the scope of services. Email the Board: ‘Who is the vendor for Item VII.L and what services will they provide to students? Pull this item for public discussion.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Vendor

Undisclosed Professional Staff Hires on Consent Agenda
The board is set to approve the ‘Employment of Professional Staff’ under Item VII.J without disclosing who is being hired or for what positions. This is how districts often hire DEI or SEL coordinators without public input. The backup documents must be reviewed.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the ‘Backup – Employment of Professional Staff’ file attached to Item VII.J in the Official Agenda (linked above) to see the positions and candidates. Email the Board to pull this item for discussion if any roles appear to be ideological.
💰 Impact: Potential Activist Hire

| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Vague Budget Amendment — Manual Review Required
Item VII.I is a budget amendment hidden on the consent agenda with no details provided in the main packet. These amendments can be used to quietly fund controversial programs, consultants, or materials without a public hearing. The details must be reviewed by parents.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the ‘Backup – October Budget Amendment’ file attached to Item VII.I in the Official Agenda (linked above) to see where the money is going. If it’s for ideological programs, demand the Board pull the item for a separate vote.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending
