Board to Discuss Hiding Parents from Official Record
The committee is discussing Policy 2520, which governs public participation, specifically whether to keep cameras turned OFF parents and citizens during public comment. This is a critical opportunity to demand the board reverse its previous vote, which hides speakers from the official video record, and restore full transparency.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: The board is discussing whether to keep hiding public comment from the official video record. Show up and demand they reverse their decision on Item 6.01. Email the committee members (contact info on district website): ‘Turning cameras off speakers creates an official record that erases the public’s voice. We demand you turn the cameras back on.’
💰 Impact: Erasing Parents’ Voices

District Embeds ‘Equity’ Ideology into Core Policy
In response to a new state law about immigration status, the district is revising Policy 1040, ‘Equal Opportunity for Equitable, Safe and Inclusive Environment.’ The policy is loaded with ideological terms like ‘educational equity,’ ‘systemic injustice,’ ‘gender identity,’ and ‘gender expression,’ codifying these concepts as the official stance of the district.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the committee members (contact info on district website) regarding Item 5.04: ‘Policy 1040 goes far beyond the requirements of state law. Please provide a separate, clean policy for the state mandate and remove ideological language like ‘educational equity’ and ‘systemic injustice’ from this core policy.’
💰 Impact: Replacing Equality with Equity

Committee Limits Public Comment to Just 10 Minutes
Under Item 2.01, the committee is limiting the entire public comment period for its meeting to a total of 10 minutes. This drastic restriction means only a handful of parents will get to speak, effectively silencing community input on important policy changes before they go to the full board.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TO BE HEARD: This 10-minute limit on public comment is an attempt to shut parents out. Sign up to speak at the start of the meeting for Item 2.01 and contact the committee chair, Ross Svenson (contact info on district website): ‘A 10-minute total limit on public comment is an insult to parents. We demand to be heard.’
💰 Impact: Silencing Parents’ Voices

District Expands Digital Surveillance Rights Over Students
Under the revised Policy 3065, the district is explicitly granting itself the right to ‘observe, review, monitor, or audit all assets and activity’ on the school network and on any school-provided device. This broad language could encompass student emails, search histories, and documents, raising significant privacy concerns.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the committee members (contact info on district website) about Item 5.03: ‘Policy 3065 must include a clear, annual parental notification and opt-out process for any non-academic monitoring of student digital activity. What specific data is being monitored, who has access to it, and for how long is it stored?’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

| ALERT (LEVEL 3) |

Vague ‘Consensus’ Rule for Superintendent Evaluation
In Policy 3130, staff is recommending that any additional criteria for evaluating the Superintendent be added by ‘consensus’ rather than a formal vote. This vague term could make it harder for board members to add accountability measures if even one person objects, weakening oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
Monitor: Email the Legislative & Policy Committee members (contact info on district website) regarding Item 4.01: ‘Please define ‘consensus’ in Policy 3130. A formal, recorded vote is the only transparent way for the Board to add criteria to the Superintendent’s evaluation.’
💰 Impact: Weakened Board Oversight
