Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Lawndale Elementary. We found 6 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
Contract with Potential Equity/Anti-Racism Consultant
The district is approving a contract with a consultant named “Trajectory of Hope.” This vendor’s name strongly suggests a focus on equity and social justice initiatives, which often serve as a vehicle for introducing Critical Race Theory concepts and “anti-racism” training into the district.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached in the Official Agenda for Item 9.13 to confirm the services provided by ‘Trajectory of Hope.’ Email the Board: ‘I demand the contract with Trajectory of Hope be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and vote. Parents have a right to know what this consultant will be teaching our staff and students.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Ideological Consulting

Board Policy Limits Parent Speaking Time
The board’s public comment rules limit debate to a total of twenty minutes per topic, regardless of how many parents wish to speak. This policy can be used to silence opposition on controversial issues by cutting off public input after only a handful of speakers.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TO BE HEARD: Contact the Board (see Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘The 20-minute total time limit per topic in Board Bylaw 9323 is an unacceptable restriction on parental rights. We demand this policy be revised to ensure all parents who sign up to speak on an issue are heard.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Suppressed Parental Voice

Grants Push School-Based Mental Health Services
The district is sending social workers, counselors, and nurses to trainings funded by “Community Schools” and “CYBHI” (Children and Youth Behavioral Health Initiative) grants. This signals a move towards integrating school-based mental health services and behavior monitoring, which can operate outside of direct parental oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item 7.11, what are the specific requirements of the CYBHI and Community Schools grants? Will these funds be used to establish school-based clinics or mental health screenings without explicit, opt-in parental consent for each instance?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: State/Federal Strings Attached

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Paying Staff Extra for “Community Schools” Programs
The district is paying teachers and staff extra to participate in “Community Schools” meetings and events all year. The “Community Schools” model transforms schools into hubs for social services, introducing outside agencies and programs into your child’s life, often without direct parental involvement.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Items 7.15 and 7.26, what specific services and partner organizations are being brought into our schools under the “Community Schools” model? We demand a public list of all partners and a clear policy on parental consent before any student receives services.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Blurring School/Home Boundaries

Massive Student Data System Contract
The district is approving a contract with Powerschool LLC, a major student data management company, along with other “California Student Data Privacy Agreements.” Without seeing the contract, parents have no way of knowing what specific student data is being collected, stored, and potentially shared with third parties.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached in the Official Agenda for Item 9.8 to confirm the scope of the Powerschool contract and CSDPAs. Contact the District Office: ‘What specific data elements will be shared under the Powerschool and CSDPA contracts? Provide the parental notification and opt-out policy for third-party data sharing.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Privacy
|
| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Staff Training in Behavioral Control Systems (PBIS)
The district is sending principals, assistant principals, and teachers to “Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports” (PBIS) training for the entire school year. PBIS is often linked to Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and can involve collecting data on student behavior to enforce compliance.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item 7.5, what specific PBIS framework is being taught? Will this involve new student behavior data collection, and if so, what is the parental notification and opt-out process?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Training Costs
