Board Discussing Whether to Keep Cameras Off Parents During Public Comment
The Board is discussing whether to continue its policy of turning cameras away from parents and citizens during the public comment portion of meetings. This practice reduces transparency, hides speakers from the public record, and appears to be an attempt to silence dissenting voices who are speaking out to protect their children.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: This is a discussion item (5.01), so the Board needs to hear from us NOW before they make a final decision. Email the full School Board (contact info on district website): ‘The public has a right to be seen and heard. Turning cameras off during public comment is an act of censorship. We demand you restore the live camera feed on all public speakers.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Board Oversight

District Committee Caps Public Comment at 10 Minutes Total
The Legislative & Policy Committee is limiting the entire public comment period for its meeting to a total of 10 minutes for all speakers combined. This severely restricts the ability of parents and community members to voice their concerns on important policy matters before they are sent to the full board.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TO BE HEARD: Contact Chief of Staff Marc Bergin at 571-252-1030 regarding Item 2.01. ‘A 10-minute total public comment period is an unacceptable restriction on parental input. We demand the committee expand this time to allow for meaningful community engagement on the policies that affect our children.’
💰 Impact: Silencing Parent Voices

District Embeds ‘Equity’ Ideology into Non-Discrimination Policies
While updating policies to comply with a state law on immigration status, the district is also inserting ideological language into Policy 1040, committing to ‘educational equity’ and acknowledging ‘injustice at the institutional or systemic level.’ This shifts the focus from equal opportunity to a framework of ‘equity’ that can be used to justify unequal treatment and resource allocation.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK FIRST: Contact Chief of Staff Marc Bergin at 571-252-1030 regarding Item 4.04. ‘How does the district define ‘educational equity’ in Policy 1040, and how will the district measure whether it is looking ‘systematically at barriers and resource allocations’? Parents are concerned this language will be used to lower academic standards or divert resources from academic programs.’
💰 Impact: Replacing Equality with Equity

| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
District Policy Asserts Right to Monitor All Student Network Activity
Under the guise of an ‘Information Security’ update, Policy 3065 grants the district the broad right to ‘observe, review, monitor, or audit all assets and activity conducted on the LCPS network’ and on school-provided devices. This creates a surveillance system for students with no clear parental notification or opt-out process.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask for Chief Technology Officer Aaron M. Smith regarding Item 4.03. ‘What specific student activities will be monitored under Policy 3065? How will parents be notified of this monitoring, and what is the process for parents to review the data collected on their child?’
💰 Impact: Student Privacy

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
Item 3.01 is the approval of draft minutes from the October 28, 2026 Legislative and Policy meeting. The attachment containing the minutes could not be automatically extracted, so the content of the prior discussion is unknown.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘L&P Draft Minutes 10-28-2026.pdf’ attached to Item 3.01 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm the details of the October 28th committee discussion before the vote.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Discussion Details

Board Adopts Policy Preventing Last-Minute Votes
The Board is updating its agenda policy to prohibit taking final votes on items added to the agenda after a meeting has already started. This change increases transparency and prevents the Board from rushing through controversial items without proper public notice.
How to Lock It In
SECURE THE WIN: Show up or email the Board to thank them for approving the revisions to Policy 2430. ‘Thank you for strengthening transparency by preventing last-minute votes on items not on the published agenda. This is a crucial step for accountability.’
