Vague ‘Professional Services’ Contracts Hide Spending
The board plans to approve multiple ‘Professional Services Contracts’ in a single vote under item A.5. This is a common tactic to push through spending on ideological consultants for things like DEI, SEL, or ‘equity audits’ without public scrutiny.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: This is a bundled vote with no details. Contact the Board of School Directors (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding Item A.5, ‘Professional Services Contracts,’ please provide a public list of all vendors and the cost and scope of each contract before the vote. We will not approve a blank check for ideological consultants.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Vendor Contracts

Is the Board Using Your Tax Dollars for Lobbying?
The board is set to take ‘possible action’ on unspecified ‘Legislative Matters.’ This vague item could authorize the district to use taxpayer money and its official position to lobby for or against state or federal laws, potentially undermining parental rights.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The agenda doesn’t disclose which laws the board will take a position on. Contact the Board of School Directors (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding the ‘Legislative Matters’ item, I demand to know which specific bills will be discussed and what position the district is considering before you vote to spend our tax dollars on lobbying.’
💰 Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying

‘Grant Awards’ Could Come with Ideological Strings
Under item A.3, the board will vote to accept multiple unspecified ‘Grant awards.’ Federal grants in particular often carry hidden mandates, requiring the district to adopt certain curricula or share student data in exchange for the money.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Contact the Board of School Directors (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding the ‘Monthly Grant awards’ in Item A.3, what are the specific sources of this funding, and what conditions for curriculum, data sharing, or staffing are attached to each grant? Parents must see the fine print before you accept the money.’
💰 Impact: Federal Strings Attached

Federal ‘GEAR UP’ Grant Warrants Scrutiny
The district is taking action on the federal ‘TEAM GEAR UP Grant.’ While aimed at college readiness, federal grants can come with requirements for extensive student data collection and other programs that operate outside of parental oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Contact the Board of School Directors (see the Official Agenda link for contact info) about Item B.3, ‘Report with Possible Action on TEAM GEAR UP Grant’: ‘What specific student data will be collected and shared with the federal government under the GEAR UP grant? What are the parental notification and opt-out procedures for this program?’
💰 Impact: Student Data Collection

Is Support for Deaf Students Being Cut?
The board is voting to ‘sunset,’ or end, the task force for Deaf and Hard of Hearing students under item B.5. This could remove a vital layer of oversight and advocacy, potentially impacting services and support for these children without a clear replacement plan.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: Contact the Board of School Directors (see the Official Agenda link for contact info) regarding Item B.5: ‘Before you vote to sunset the D/HH Task Force, what specific district body will assume its responsibilities for overseeing student support? Parents of D/HH students deserve to know who is accountable for their children’s needs.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Student Support
