| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
Superintendent Goals Embed “Leader In Me” SEL Program
The Superintendent’s performance goals include implementing the “Leader In Me” framework district-wide to boost “student agency.” “Leader In Me” is a well-known Social Emotional Learning (SEL) program that replaces traditional character education with therapeutic and corporate-style behavioral programming.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Item 7.e introduces the ‘Leader In Me’ SEL program into all schools. We demand the board focus on academic excellence, not social-emotional programming. Vote NO on the Superintendent’s goals until all SEL components are removed.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Classroom Time on SEL

District Pays for “Leader In Me” SEL Training
The bill list includes a $7,622.90 payment to Franklin Covey, the parent company of the “Leader In Me” SEL program. This payment is for “Trust & Inspire” training, confirming the district is spending taxpayer money on the SEL program mentioned in the Superintendent’s goals.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the District Office (see Official Agenda link): ‘Pull the Franklin Covey payment from the Consent Agenda (Item 9.a.iii). Parents deserve a public discussion on why we are paying for the ‘Leader In Me’ SEL program instead of focusing on academics.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $7,622.90 for SEL

$52k Contract for “Inclusive Education” Training
The district is paying $52,163 to the “Maryland Coalition for Inclusive Education” for professional development. “Inclusive Education” is often a vehicle for DEI and Critical Race Theory-based concepts, going far beyond accommodating students with disabilities.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND VETTING: Email the District Office (see Official Agenda link): ‘Pull the $52,163 payment to the Maryland Coalition for Inclusive Education from the Consent Agenda (Item 9.a.iii). Parents demand to review the training materials to ensure they are free of political and ideological agendas before this is approved.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $52,163 for DEI Training

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
District Draining $32 Million from Education Fund
The board is voting to transfer a combined $32 million out of the Educational Fund and into the Operations/Maintenance and Transportation funds. While some of this is for capital projects, moving such a large sum from the fund meant for classroom instruction demands a public explanation of how this will impact academic resources.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and attend the Public Hearing on Item 7.b/7.c: ‘Why is the Educational Fund being used to backfill other funds by $32 million? We demand a clear, public accounting of how this transfer will affect classroom resources and teacher staffing before you approve Resolutions 260825 and 260825b.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $32M from Classroom Fund

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Student “Representatives” Added to School Board
The district is appointing four 8th-grade students to the board in an advisory, non-voting role. Their oath of office commits them to advancing “equitable” education, a term often used to justify unequal treatment of students based on group identity rather than individual need.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item 4, what is the selection process for student representatives? How will the board ensure these students represent the entire student body and not just activist groups, and how will the district define ‘equitable’ education in this context?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Student Activism as Policy Driver

| ALERT (LEVEL 3) |
|
Destruction of 18-Month-Old Closed Session Recordings
The board is voting to destroy audio recordings of closed sessions from February 2025, as permitted by policy after 18 months. While legal, this practice permanently eliminates a detailed record of the board’s private deliberations on sensitive topics.
Recommended Action Plan
Monitor: This is a routine action under current policy, but chapters should advocate for policies that require permanent retention of closed session recordings to ensure long-term accountability.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Board Accountability
