District to Create School-Based Mental Health Database
Under Action Item J.1.g, the Board will vote on a three-year, $96,640+ contract with TadHealth, Inc. to create an Electronic Health Record (EHR) and billing system for student ‘behavioral health services.’ This system creates a permanent infrastructure for tracking and billing for mental health services provided to your child at school, potentially without your direct involvement in every instance.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a critical vote. Email the Board (contact info on district website) and sign up for public comment: ‘We do not consent to a permanent mental health surveillance and billing system for our children. Vote NO on the TadHealth contract, Item J.1.g.’
💰 Impact: $96,640 + 10% of claims

SEL Curriculum ‘Character Strong’ Hidden in Spending Vote
A $3,598 purchase for ‘Character Strong’ curriculum is buried within the multi-million dollar Purchase Order list (Consent Item I.2.a). Character Strong is a well-known Social Emotional Learning (SEL) vendor that replaces academic time with instruction on feelings and social skills.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘I demand the Purchase Order list, Item I.2.a, be pulled from the Consent Agenda. The Board must publicly discuss and hold a separate roll-call vote on the purchase of the Character Strong SEL curriculum.’
💰 Impact: $3,598.20

District to Share 5 Years of Student Data with Outside Group
Action Item J.1.e approves an MOU with Educational Results Partnership to share five years of detailed student data, including test scores and grades, for their ‘SkillSight’ platform. This transfers a massive amount of personal student information to an external third party to create ‘skills profiles’ on our children.
Recommended Action Plan
PROTECT STUDENT DATA: Email the Board (contact info on district website) before the meeting: ‘Regarding Item J.1.e, I do not consent to my child’s personal data being shared with Educational Results Partnership. Vote NO on this data-sharing agreement.’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

New District Goals Prioritize ‘Social-Emotional’ Interventions
The proposed 2026-27 District Goals (Item J.4.c) officially commit to building a ‘Multi-Tiered System of Supports’ that explicitly includes ‘social-emotional domains.’ This framework (MTSS) is a primary vehicle for implementing SEL, behavioral interventions, and data tracking on all students, shifting focus away from core academics.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ACADEMIC FOCUS: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item J.4.c, parents want the district’s goals focused on academic excellence, not social-emotional programming. Revise the goals to remove ideological frameworks like MTSS for social-emotional domains.’
💰 Impact: Focus on Academics

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Superintendent Contract Not Publicly Posted for Review
The Board is scheduled to approve the Superintendent’s new employment contract under Action Item J.4.d. However, the contract itself was not included in the public agenda packet, preventing parents from reviewing its financial terms and policy implications before the vote.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘We demand the full proposed Superintendent contract be posted publicly for review at least 72 hours before the Board votes on Item J.4.d. The public has a right to see this document.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Board Oversight

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
District to Fund Race-Based Student Cohort
Consent Item I.1.b approves a $29,000 contract with the Parent Institute for Quality Education (PIQE) to establish an ‘African American Student Cohort’ in partnership with the Black Student Union. This creates an affinity group that separates students based on race, a core practice of DEI ideology.
Recommended Action Plan
PULL FROM CONSENT: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Pull Item I.1.b from the Consent Agenda for a full discussion. Taxpayer funds should not be used to create programs that divide students by race.’
💰 Impact: $29,000

Vague ‘Early Childhood Consultant’ Contract on Consent Agenda
Consent Item I.2.c approves a $14,400 contract for an ‘Early Childhood Educational Consultant,’ Kathy Gomez. The purpose is vague, and the vendor is not specified, creating a risk that this could be a contract for SEL or DEI training in the district’s youngest grades without parental oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
VERIFY THE VENDOR: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item I.2.c, who is Kathy Gomez and what specific services will she provide? The Board must provide a detailed scope of work before approving this vague consultant contract.’
💰 Impact: $14,400
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
College Prep Program Framed with ‘Equity’ Language
Consent Item I.1.a spends $14,273 to expand the AVID college prep program. While AVID can be beneficial, the district’s rationale justifies it as a tool to ‘drive long-term district equity’ and ‘close the opportunity gap,’ signaling a focus on group outcomes rather than individual student achievement.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item I.1.a, please confirm that the AVID program’s focus remains on academic readiness for all students, not on political equity initiatives. Ensure parents are aware of all curriculum components.’
💰 Impact: $14,273
