New Policy Allows In-Home ‘Wellness Checks’ on Virtual Schoolers
Proposed Policy 204.1 creates a ‘wellness check’ system for full-time virtual students. If a student misses a required weekly video check-in and doesn’t attend a subsequent ‘wellness review conference,’ the district can conduct an in-person wellness check at the student’s home within 24 hours, including on weekends.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a massive government overreach into the home. Contact the School Board (see official agenda for contact info): ‘Vote NO on the First Reading of Policy 204.1. The district has no right to force in-person home visits on families who have chosen virtual education.’

$77,000 Ecuador Trip for ‘IB Curriculum’ Support
The board is asked to approve a $77,368 week-long trip to Ecuador for 30 IB students under Item 3.D. The justification is vaguely stated as ‘in support of IB curriculum,’ which often includes ‘Global Citizenship’ and other ideological components.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND DETAILS: Email the Board before the October 15th vote (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item 3.D, before approving the $77,000 trip to Ecuador, please provide parents with the detailed daily itinerary and the specific curriculum materials this trip supports. Student time and money should not be spent on ideological tourism.’
π° Impact: $77,368

New ‘Social Media Literacy’ Curriculum Mandated
Under Item 3.A, Policy 102 is being updated to add ‘social media literacy’ to the district’s required curriculum. While the policy itself is neutral, this opens the door for new, unvetted curriculum content that could introduce ideological topics under the guise of online safety.
Recommended Action Plan
MONITOR: This policy will pass, but parents should be prepared to ask for the specific curriculum the district chooses to fulfill this ‘social media literacy’ requirement. Track for future board meetings where this curriculum is selected.
π° Impact: New Curriculum Vector

Board Proposes Strong Parental Opt-Out Rights
The Board is considering a new policy, 105.2, that explicitly gives parents the right to excuse their children from any instruction that conflicts with their ‘sincerely held religious and/or moral beliefs.’ This policy codifies a parent’s right to opt their child out of controversial lessons.
How to Lock It In
SUPPORT THIS POLICY: Email the School Board (contact info on district website) before the October 15th vote. ‘I strongly support the First Reading of Policy 105.2, Exemption from Instruction. Please pass this important policy to protect the rights of parents to guide their children’s education.’
