Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Mountain View Whisman. We found 8 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
Board to Vote on Opposing Federal Immigration Facility
The Board is voting on a resolution to officially oppose the construction of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention center. This action uses the school district’s official platform and resources to take a political stance on a federal issue that is unrelated to education.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: Email the Board (see official agenda for contacts): ‘My taxes are for educating children, not for political activism on federal immigration policy. Stick to academics and vote NO on Resolution 04-082026.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
Sex-Ed Vendor ‘Health Connected’ Contract Increase
The district is increasing its contract with ‘Health Connected’ by $9,370 to expand ‘Puberty Talk’ and ‘Teen Talk’ sessions. This vendor provides comprehensive sex education curriculum that often includes sensitive topics on gender identity and sexuality, bypassing parental guidance.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (see official agenda for contacts): ‘Pull Item V.F.20 from the Consent Agenda. Parents have a right to know exactly what Health Connected teaches our children about sex and gender before you give them more money.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $9,370

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
District Approving ‘SEL Lessons’ from Playworks
The district is ratifying a two-year, $71,000 contract with ‘Playworks Education Energized’ to provide services that explicitly include ‘SEL lessons.’ Social Emotional Learning (SEL) is often a vehicle for introducing politically charged concepts and values into the classroom, replacing time that should be spent on core academics.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (see official agenda for contacts): ‘Regarding item V.F.34, I demand to see the full SEL curriculum from Playworks before it is used on students. What specific values and beliefs are being taught under the guise of ‘SEL’?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $71,000 (PTA Funded)

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
School ‘Wellness Center’ and Mental Health Grant
The board is ratifying a $216,796 grant-funded contract for a ‘Wellness Center’ at Castro Elementary and extending a separate $294,639 ‘CYBHI’ (Children and Youth Behavioral Health Initiative) grant. These programs can function as school-based clinics that provide mental health services and collect sensitive data on students without direct parental involvement.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the Board (see official agenda for contacts): ‘Regarding items V.F.38 and V.F.39, what specific services will be offered at the Wellness Center, and what data does the CYBHI grant require the district to collect on our children? Provide the parental consent and opt-out forms now.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Opportunity to Reshape Budget Priorities
The district is discussing budget cuts because spending is exceeding revenue. Staff admits that significant hiring increases since 2017 were for non-academic roles like ‘counselors, behavior technicians, mental health specialists.’ This is a critical opportunity for parents to demand the district protect teachers and academic programs by cutting administrative bloat and social programming first.
Recommended Action Plan
MOBILIZE FOR ACADEMICS: Sign up for public comment. Email the Board (see official agenda for contacts): ‘During budget discussions on Item VIII.C, I urge you to adopt a ‘students-first’ approach. Prioritize classroom teachers and core academics like reading and math over non-academic support staff.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Protecting Academics
|
| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Preschool Handbook Update on Discipline & Attendance
The district is updating the preschool handbook regarding student suspension/expulsion and attendance tracking. These changes could introduce ‘restorative’ discipline policies that fail to remove disruptive students, and create a ‘chronic absenteeism’ tracking system that increases district surveillance of families.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The attachment for Item V.P was not available for review. Open the ‘MVWSD Preschool Family Handbook’ file on the official district agenda to see the exact changes to discipline and attendance policy.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undermining Discipline
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Preschool ‘Family Engagement’ Vendor
The board is ratifying a $3,280 contract with Teaching Strategies LLC for a ‘family engagement program’ for preschool. These programs can be used to push school ideology onto parents and assess the home environment, under the guise of helping families.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Email the Board (see official agenda for contacts): ‘Regarding item V.F.45, what does the ‘family engagement program’ from Teaching Strategies LLC entail? Parents need to see the materials before the district buys a program designed to engage us.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $3,280
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 3) |
|
Vague Contract & Financial Reports — Manual Review Required
Item V.C approves monthly financial reports, purchase orders, and contracts, but the agenda provides no details. The summary refers to ‘attached backup documents’ which must be reviewed to see what specific spending and agreements are being rubber-stamped.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the files attached to Item V.C in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm what payments and contracts are being approved without public discussion.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed
