$900k+ Disneyland Trip Includes SEL & “Social Justice” Training
The board is set to approve a district-wide 8th-grade trip to Disneyland costing over $900,000, funded by tax-credit donations. The trip includes a mandatory “Disney Youth Leadership Workshop” focused on Social Emotional Learning (SEL) competencies and a visit to the Museum of Tolerance, which frames history through a lens of “combating prejudice in modern society.” This item is on the consent agenda, meaning it could pass without any public discussion.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Governing Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info) and demand ‘Item 6.11, the 8th Grade Disneyland Trip, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a full discussion and a separate roll-call vote. Parents deserve to know why tax-credit dollars are funding SEL training and a trip with potential political framing.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $685 Per Student

Federal Funds Used for “Leader In Me” SEL Program Training
The district is spending over $6,000 in federal Title I funds to send five staff members to a “Leader in Me Symposium.” “Leader in Me” is a well-known, comprehensive Social Emotional Learning (SEL) program that replaces traditional character education with therapeutic and behavioral concepts.
Recommended Action Plan
CHALLENGE THE SPENDING: Contact the Governing Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info) and ask: ‘Regarding Action Item 8.1, why are federal Title I funds, intended for academic support for low-income students, being used for staff travel and training in the ‘Leader In Me’ SEL program instead of direct academic instruction?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $6,163 (Federal Strings Attached)

New Gatekeeper for Library and Digital Content
The board is approving an updated job description for the “District Media Specialist,” who controls the selection of all library books and digital resources. The role is tasked with building a “diversified collection” and teaching “media literacy,” which are often channels for introducing politically biased materials into schools.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Contact the district office (see the Official Agenda link for contact info) and ask: ‘Regarding Item 6.6, what specific criteria will the District Media Specialist use to ensure the ‘diversified collection’ of library materials is age-appropriate and free from political activism? Will parents have a transparent review process for all new acquisitions?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Control Over Library Books
