Vague Vendor Payment on Consent Agenda
The board is set to approve a $10,530 payment to “Central Iowa Distributing” as part of a bundled consent agenda vote. The agenda provides no description of what is being purchased, and the corresponding invoice was not included in the public documents for review.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and email the Board: ‘I demand Consent Item V.ii.b, the payment to Central Iowa Distributing, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. Parents deserve to know what this $10,530 is for before you approve it.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $10,530.00

Social Studies Curriculum Review with AEA
The district’s Social Studies team is beginning a review of new state standards and will be working with the Area Education Agency (AEA) to develop an implementation plan. While this is a preliminary step, AEAs have a track record of promoting ideological and activist-driven curriculum materials, making early parental oversight critical.
Recommended Action Plan
ENGAGE EARLY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and email the Board: ‘Regarding the Social Studies standards review mentioned in the administrator’s report, I request that a parent review committee be established to participate in the resource evaluation process alongside the AEA. Parents must have a seat at the table before any new curriculum is considered.’

District Focuses on Core Academics with New Reading Curriculum
The district is investing in and implementing the Core Knowledge Language Arts (CKLA) curriculum, a program known for its strong emphasis on phonics and building students’ background knowledge. This move represents a significant commitment to proven, content-rich instruction over social agendas in the classroom.
How to Lock It In
AMPLIFY THIS WIN: Show up or email the Board (contact info on district website) to thank them for investing in a strong, knowledge-based reading curriculum like CKLA. Publicly supporting this keeps the focus on academic excellence and makes it harder to reverse.
✅ Why It Matters: Focus on Academics
