District Creates New ‘Student Support Services’ Bureaucracy
Under Items 4.A, 6.O, 6.P, 6.Q, and 6.R, the board is voting to create an entire new ‘Student Support Services’ department. This department will be staffed with a Director, Coordinators, and ‘Intervention Specialists’ focused on Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS), behavior intervention, mental health, and ‘Child Welfare’ including home visits. This is a massive expansion of the district’s role from educating children to monitoring them and intervening in family life, all funded by taxpayers.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a systemic overhaul of the district’s mission. Email the Board of Trustees and Superintendent S. Aaron Resendez (contact info on district website): ‘Vote NO on Items 4.A, 6.O, 6.P, 6.Q, and 6.R. Our schools must focus on academic excellence, not building a social services bureaucracy to monitor our children and families.’
💰 Impact: Replacing Academics with Social Engineering

Mobile Health Clinic on Campus Bypasses Parents
Item 6.K approves an agreement with Kern County Hospital Authority to operate a mobile healthcare unit on school grounds, providing medical services directly to students. While the agreement mentions obtaining parental consent, placing a clinic at school normalizes the district as a medical provider and creates significant potential for services to be rendered without a parent being present. This erodes the parent’s role as the primary decision-maker for their child’s health.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Trustees (contact info on district website): ‘I demand Consent Item 6.K be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. What specific policies will ensure no student ever receives medical advice, services, or prescriptions on campus without a parent physically present and providing informed consent?’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Medical Privacy

New Positions to Implement ‘Tiered’ Behavioral and Social-Emotional Interventions
Hidden in the consent agenda, items 6.Q and 6.R create two new coordinator positions: one for ‘Child Welfare, Attendance & Family Services’ and one for ‘MTSS, Behavior & Intervention’. The job descriptions are filled with ideological jargon, including ‘trauma-informed practices,’ ‘restorative justice,’ ‘social-emotional learning (SEL) integration,’ and overseeing ‘home visitation programs.’ These roles are designed to implement a system of student surveillance and psychological intervention, not academic instruction.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email Superintendent S. Aaron Resendez (contact info on district website): ‘Pull Consent Items 6.Q and 6.R for a full public discussion. Parents deserve to know why the district is prioritizing hiring non-teaching administrators to implement SEL and behavioral programs instead of focusing all resources on core academics.’
💰 Impact: Student Surveillance Systems

On-Campus Dental Services Agreement
Item 6.L seeks approval for a partnership to provide on-site dental services and ‘quick evaluations’ for students in the school nurse’s office. While seemingly convenient, this continues the trend of turning schools into clinics, which can weaken parental oversight of their children’s health care. The full agreement was not attached to the public agenda, preventing parents from reviewing the specific consent and notification procedures.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached to Item 6.L in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm the parental consent and notification policies. Email the Board of Trustees: ‘Postpone the vote on Item 6.L until the full agreement is made public and parents can verify that their right to be present for any medical evaluation of their child is protected.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Agreement Details

| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Vague ‘Early College’ Agreement Lacks Transparency
Item 6.M approves a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Kern County Superintendent of Schools for the ‘California Early College Demonstration Initiative.’ While dual enrollment can be beneficial, these programs can come with data-sharing mandates or other ideological strings attached. The district has not included the actual MOU in the public agenda, making it impossible for parents to review the terms before the vote.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached to Item 6.M in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes. Email the Board of Trustees: ‘The MOU for Item 6.M must be made public before any vote. Parents have a right to know what data-sharing and curriculum requirements are tied to this Early College initiative.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Grant Strings

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Vague $15,000 Consultant Contract
Item 6.I is a $15,000 contract for a consultant from ‘The Print Shop – ED Center’ to ‘improve CTE program’ through professional development and training. The description is generic, and the actual contract was not successfully attached to the public agenda. This lack of transparency makes it impossible to know who is being paid and what they will be teaching our teachers.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached to Item 6.I in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm the identity of the vendor and the scope of work. Email the Board of Trustees: ‘Postpone the vote on the $15,000 consultant contract in Item 6.I until the full agreement is made public. Parents deserve to know who is training our teachers and with what materials.’
💰 Impact: $15,000.00
