District Plan to Survey Students on “Belonging” and “Well-Being”
The district’s new Five-Year Forecast includes a “Continuous Improvement Plan” that requires administering multiple surveys to students in grades 1-12, staff, and parents. These surveys will measure subjective topics like “Student Belonging,” “Student Agency,” and “school climate,” creating a data profile on your child’s attitudes and beliefs.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email Superintendent Michael Sawyers at sawyers.1@napls.us: ‘Regarding the Continuous Improvement Plan in Item 7.B, who owns the student data collected by these climate and belonging surveys? Please provide the specific parental opt-out form for all non-academic surveys before this is voted on.’

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
Agenda item 5.E references the “Continuous Improvement Plan Goals” but does not include the attachment. This plan, as seen in other agenda items, contains social-emotional survey mandates, and parents need to see the full details of the goals being proposed for the upcoming school year.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes. This document likely details the specific SEL and survey goals for the coming year.

$25,000 Donation for Undisclosed “Author Visits”
The board is set to accept a $25,000 donation specifically for “Author Visits” for the 2026-27 school year. While author visits can be valuable, this large donation provides no transparency about who will be selected or what criteria will be used, opening the door for ideologically-driven authors to be put in front of students.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email Superintendent Michael Sawyers at sawyers.1@napls.us: ‘Regarding the $25,000 donation for author visits in Item 8.C, I request that the Board require a public list of potential authors and a clear, parent-reviewed selection process before accepting these funds.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $25,000

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
Agenda item 5.D, “2025-26 Local Report Card Preliminary Results,” is listed without any attached report or summary. This document contains key academic performance data for the district that parents have a right to see and understand.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The official agenda may have a link to the ‘2025-26 Local Report Card Preliminary Results’ document. Parents should review it to ensure academic performance is being reported transparently.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Academic Transparency
