District Approves Over $787K for “Behavioral Health” Vendors
The district’s purchase orders (Item 8.6) include over $787,000 for two outside vendors: ‘Empowered Behavior Solutions’ ($693,512) and ‘Behavioral Health Works’ ($94,231). This is a massive outsourcing of student discipline and mental health to private companies, potentially operating in schools without parental presence or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘We do not co-parent with the government or its contractors. Vote NO on the purchase orders for Empowered Behavior Solutions and Behavioral Health Works under Item 8.6. This $787k should be spent on academics, not outsourcing student mental health.’
💰 Impact: $787,743.75

District Building “Behavior Data Tracking System” for Students
Buried in a Special Education report (related to Item 8.13) is a plan for school psychologists to build a ‘Districtwide Behavior Data Tracking System.’ This creates a permanent digital record of your child’s behavior to support ‘Mental Health Outcomes,’ a massive expansion of student surveillance.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the plan in the Special Ed report (related to Item 8.13), what is the purpose of the “Behavior Data Tracking System”? Who has access to this data, and what is the parental consent and opt-out process? Halt this surveillance program immediately.’
💰 Impact: Student Surveillance

Board Approving Multiple Student Data Deals Without Review
Under Item 10.15, the district is approving a bundle of ‘California Student Data Privacy Agreements’ with various tech companies, including one called ‘Care Connect.’ This allows vendors access to student data without the board publicly reviewing the specific terms of each deal, risking your child’s private information.
Recommended Action Plan
Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item 10.15, I demand you pull the California Student Data Privacy Agreements for a full public review. What data is being shared with ‘Care Connect’ and for what purpose? Do not vote to share student data without full transparency.’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

District Spends $76,800 on Race-Based Mentoring Program
Item 10.18 approves a $76,800 contract with ‘100 Black Men of Los Angeles’ to provide mentoring and ‘health & wellness’ programs for ‘African American and other minorities students.’ This creates race-based affinity groups and uses public funds for programs that may introduce divisive concepts.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Vote NO on the $76,800 contract in Item 10.18. School resources should unite students and focus on academics for all, not segregate them by race for mentoring.’
💰 Impact: $76,800

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Board Restricts Public Comment Time
The board is enforcing a 20-minute total time limit per topic for public comments under its meeting conduct rules. This policy can be used to shut down parent testimony on controversial issues if more than a handful of people sign up to speak, effectively silencing the community.
Recommended Action Plan
Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘The 20-minute-per-topic rule mentioned in Item 5.2 silences parents. We demand you remove this arbitrary time limit and allow every parent their full three minutes to speak, regardless of the topic’s popularity.’
💰 Impact: Suppressed Parent Voices

District Launching “Tier 3 Intervention” Pilot Program
A purchase order under Item 8.6 reveals a $5,001 contract with Innovamat Education for a ‘Tier 3 Intervention Pilot.’ ‘Tiered Intervention’ is jargon for Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS), a framework that often prioritizes behavioral and emotional interventions over academics.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the Innovamat contract in the purchase orders (Item 8.6), what specific interventions are being piloted? Please provide the curriculum and evidence of its academic effectiveness before this pilot proceeds.’
💰 Impact: $5,001

District Pays Teachers Extra for “Social-Emotional” Planning
Consent Item 8.10 approves extra pay for teachers at Anderson Elementary to conduct ‘social and emotional planning to support student access and inclusion.’ This diverts teacher time and taxpayer money from academics to focus on subjective social engineering.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Pull Consent Item 8.10 for a separate vote. What specific “social and emotional” content is being planned, and how does it improve academic outcomes? Parents deserve to know.’
💰 Impact: $2,280
