Vague Policy Revisions on ‘Civil Rights,’ Curriculum, and ‘Hate-Motivated Behavior’
The Board is holding a final vote on a large batch of policy revisions, including sensitive topics like ‘Civil and Legal Rights,’ ‘Hate-Motivated Behavior,’ and how instructional materials are selected. The district has not provided the text of these changes, preventing parents from reviewing them before the vote.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a final vote. Email the Board (contact info on district website) and sign up for public comment. Demand they postpone the vote on Item XIII.1 until the full text of all revised policies is made public for parental review. ‘Vote NO on Item XIII.1. Parents will not approve policies we are not allowed to read first.’
💰 Impact: Loss of Parental Oversight

Vague $6.5 Million Expenditure Report on Consent Agenda
The board is being asked to ratify over $6.5 million in expenditures with no detailed report attached to the public agenda. Hiding large spending items on the consent calendar without backup documentation prevents public oversight of how taxpayer money is being used.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘I demand Consent Item XI.3 be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and vote. The public deserves to see a detailed breakdown of a $6.5 million expenditure report before it is approved.’
💰 Impact: $6,517,524.00

Agreement to Place University Nursing Students in Schools
The district is approving an agreement to allow nursing students from CSU Fresno to do their fieldwork in district schools. While this can help staff school health offices, these partnerships can be a pathway to providing health services, including mental health, without direct parental presence or consent. The actual agreement text was not attached to the agenda.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: This is Consent Item XI.13. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the agreement with CSU Fresno, will parents be notified and required to provide explicit consent before their child is seen by a student nurse for any reason, including mental health screenings? Please provide the full text of the agreement.’
💰 Impact: School-Based Health Services

Donations Earmarked for ‘PBIS’ Behavior Programs
Two schools are accepting over $1,600 in donations specifically for ‘PBIS’ (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) materials. While often used for basic discipline, PBIS is part of the same framework as SEL and MTSS, which can be used to collect student data and implement social-emotional programming.
Recommended Action Plan
Monitor: This is part of Consent Item XI.2. Track how PBIS is implemented at Harloe Elementary and Lopez High. Ask your principal what specific materials are being purchased and if they include social-emotional surveys or data tracking.
💰 Impact: SEL by another name

WIN: Public Hearing on Sufficiency of Textbooks
The district is holding a legally required public hearing and voting on a resolution to confirm that every student has sufficient textbooks and instructional materials. This is a key accountability moment for parents to ensure materials are focused on core academics and not ideological content.
How to Lock It In
SECURE THE WIN: Show up for the Public Hearing on Item XII.1. Thank the board for this transparency. Use your public comment time to ask if the review process for ‘sufficiency’ also screens for age-appropriateness and ideological neutrality, and how parents can review these materials themselves.
✅ Why It Matters: Parental Accountability
