| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |

District Spending $287,000 on Secret Referendum Plan
The Board is approving $287,000 in contracts for architects, lawyers, and advisors to plan a future bond referendum, but has not told the public what the referendum is for. Parents must demand to know what projects this money will be spent on before hundreds of thousands are spent planning it in secret.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and tell the Board: ‘I demand that Items H.9, H.10, H.11, and H.12 be pulled from the consent vote in Item H.15 for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. Before spending $287,000 on consultants, the Board must present the full scope of the proposed referendum to the public for input.’
💰 Impact: $287,000

Staff Training with Unknown “Wayground” Group
The district is sending a staff member to a training session with an organization called ‘Wayground’ and LEGO Education. The agenda provides no information about what Wayground is or what they teach, creating a risk of ideological training entering the district.
Recommended Action Plan
VERIFY THIS VENDOR: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) regarding Item F.1.c. ‘What is the Wayground organization, and what is the content of the training they are providing to district staff on November 18th? Please provide a link to their materials before the Board approves this professional development.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Ideological Training

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
“Anti-Bullying” Assessment Opens Door to “Climate” Programs
The board is approving the annual ‘Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights Act’ self-assessment. These state-mandated reports often rely on ‘school climate’ programs that can be used to introduce Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and other ideologies into the classroom under the guise of anti-bullying.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK FOR DETAILS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) regarding Item E.2. ‘What specific HIB programs, approaches, or initiatives does the district use to meet the state’s Anti-Bullying requirements? Parents have a right to review all curriculum and program materials used with our children.’
💰 Impact: Classroom Ideological Creep

WIN: District Adds After-School Academic Tutoring
The Board is approving funding for a ‘Post Dismissal Instructional Academy’ to provide extra help in Math and ELA for students in grades 2-6. This is a positive step, using federal Title I funds to directly support core academic achievement.
How to Lock It In
AMPLIFY THIS WIN: Show up to the meeting or contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) to thank the Board for approving Item I.1. ‘Thank you for funding the Post Dismissal Instructional Academy. We strongly support using funds for core academic tutoring in Math and ELA, and we encourage the Board to expand these effective programs.’
✅ Why It Matters: Focus on Academics
