| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
Major Revisions to Parental Rights Policies
The board is doing a ‘first reading’ of changes to critical policies, including ‘Parental Inspection of and Objection to Instructional Materials’ (3210) and ‘Religious-Based Exemptions’ (3510). The actual text of the changes has not been provided in the agenda, hiding potentially massive shifts in parental authority.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a major alert. Attend the October 5th meeting. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item F.1, we demand you release the full text of proposed changes to policies 3200, 3210, and 3510 immediately, and postpone the vote until parents have had at least 30 days to review them.’
💰 Impact: Your Right to Object

Board to Approve $266k for New Computers
The district plans to spend $265,970 on 133 new desktop computers. Before approving more screen time for students, the board must provide evidence that this technology improves academic outcomes and state what direct instruction time it will replace.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Before voting on Item C.2 on the October 5th agenda, please provide the public with independent evidence that this technology purchase will lead to academic gains, and specify how much daily instructional time will be replaced by screens.’
💰 Impact: $265,970.27

$134k for ‘Math Intervention Kits’
The district wants to spend $134,398 on ‘mathematics intervention kits’ using federal funds. ‘Intervention’ programs can sometimes be used to introduce Social Emotional Learning (SEL) content into core subjects like math, bypassing parental review.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND REVIEW: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item D.1 for the October 5th agenda, parents have a right to review instructional materials. Please make the ‘Teacher Created Materials’ math intervention kits available for public inspection before this vote.’
💰 Impact: $134,398.66 (Federal Strings Attached)

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
District Sending Delegates to Lobbying Group Conference
The board is sending delegates to the NC School Boards Association (NCSBA) conference. The NCSBA is a political lobbying group that often works against parental rights legislation in the state capital, using member dues funded by local taxpayers.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE QUESTION: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘What is the total cost to taxpayers for district membership, travel, and conference fees for the NCSBA? Will our delegates be instructed to vote in support of parental rights resolutions?’
💰 Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 2) |
|
‘Global Citizen’ Added to District Mission
The board is re-affirming its mission to develop ‘global citizens.’ This language often signals a shift in focus from core academics like reading and math to subjective, politically-charged social and global issues.
Recommended Action Plan
Monitor: This is a statement of intent. Watch how ‘global citizen’ programs are funded and implemented in the future. No immediate action required.
💰 Impact: Focus on Academics
