Heads up! We have scanned the upcoming agenda for Palmdale Aerospace Academy District. We found 6 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |
|
Massive $620k SEL-Provider Contract Hidden in Consent Agenda
The district is set to approve a $619,681.48 contract with ‘Elevo’ (PO 27-0249), a vendor specializing in Social Emotional Learning (SEL) integrated programs. This massive expenditure is bundled into the ‘routine’ Purchase Order report on the Consent Agenda to avoid a public discussion.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a critical threat. Email the Board (see Official Agenda link): ‘I demand Purchase Order 27-0249 for Elevo be pulled from the Consent Agenda (Item C.2) for a full, public discussion and a roll-call vote. We will not approve a $620k SEL contract without transparency.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $619,681.48

| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
$9,000 Spent on ‘Equitable Schools’ Staff Training
The district is spending $9,050 of Title IV funds to send five staff members to the ‘CA Learning the Way for Positive & Equitable Schools’ conference. This is ideological training focused on ‘equity,’ which often serves as a trojan horse for Critical Race Theory and divisive identity politics.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Board (see Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding the ‘Equitable Schools’ conference in Consent Item C.3, parents demand to see the full agenda and all materials from this event. We oppose using federal funds for political indoctrination of staff.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $9,050 (Federal Strings Attached)
|
| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Strict Limits on Parent Speaking Time
The board restricts total public comment on all agenda items to a mere 20 minutes. This policy can be used to silence a large group of concerned parents by running out the clock before everyone can speak.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TO BE HEARD: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link) and demand they waive the 20-minute total time limit for any controversial item. ‘Parents will not be silenced by a clock. We demand every parent who signs up to speak is heard.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Suppressed Parent Voices

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
District Expands Student Digital Surveillance
Under Item G.2, the district is paying $11,952 to upgrade to Google Education Plus. The district’s own summary admits this provides ‘greater visibility into suspicious activity,’ ‘classroom analytics,’ and ‘investigation tools,’ expanding their power to monitor students’ digital lives.
Recommended Action Plan
PROTECT STUDENT PRIVACY: Email the Board (see Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item G.2, what specific data will be collected by Google’s ‘classroom analytics’? Provide the parental consent and opt-out forms before approving this expansion of student surveillance.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Privacy
|
| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Textbook Lists Unavailable Before Public Hearing
The board is holding a public hearing on the sufficiency of textbooks (Item E), but the attachments containing the actual textbook inventory lists for elementary, middle, and high school could not be accessed. Parents are being asked to comment on materials they cannot review beforehand.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Use the Public Hearing on Item E to go on the record. ‘We cannot affirm textbook sufficiency when the district has not provided the inventory lists for public review. We demand this hearing be postponed until the documents are made available online.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Parental Review Rights
|
| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Taxpayer-Funded SEL and PBIS Staff Training
Buried in the district’s payment records are funds for staff to attend an ‘El Dorado Charter SELPA – Leadership Academy’ and a ‘PBIS conference.’ Both SEL (Social Emotional Learning) and PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) are frameworks for student data collection and behavior modification.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: Contact the Board (see Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding the SELPA and PBIS conference payments in the Warrant Report, please provide the full curriculum from these trainings. Parents have a right to know what ideological frameworks our staff are being taught.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $1,693.49
