School Counselors to Present on ‘Suicide Prevention’
According to the board presentation schedule, school counselors will present on ‘Suicide Prevention’ in February. These programs can sometimes include sensitive mental health screenings or surveys administered to students without full parental consent or review.
Recommended Action Plan
GET AHEAD OF IT: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask: ‘Regarding the planned ‘Suicide Prevention’ presentation on February 16, will the board commit that no new mental health screenings, surveys, or programs will be adopted without a public review period and an active, opt-in parental consent form for all materials?’

District Considering New Online Learning Program
The board is discussing a ‘potential online learning option’ for secondary students. Parents need to ask what this program would replace and what evidence the district has that online learning delivers better academic results than in-person instruction.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS NOW: This is a discussion item, so now is the time to shape the outcome. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask: ‘Regarding the discussion on a new online learning option, what specific problems is this intended to solve? What evidence will the board require to prove any proposed online program is academically superior to direct teacher instruction before any money is spent?’
💰 Impact: More Student Screen Time

Recommended Action Plan
SEEK CLARITY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask: ‘What specific ‘Behavior Solutions’ will be presented on May 17? Does the district use or plan to use ‘Restorative Practices’ or other alternatives to traditional student discipline?’
💰 Impact: Weakened Classroom Discipline

Recommended Action Plan
MONITOR: This is an early warning. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask: ‘What is the timeline and process for public review of the new curriculum resources mentioned in Item II of the agenda, and how can parents participate?’
