District to Hire New “Chief of Equity”
The board is voting to approve a new, cabinet-level position: “Chief of Research, Assessment,Evaluation, & Equity.” The attached job description confirms this role will drive “equity initiatives,” oversee “behavioral screening,” lead the district’s “ethnic studies pathway,” and monitor for “disparities.” This creates a powerful new administrative position focused on implementing social agendas rather than core academics.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: The Board is creating a high-paid ‘Chief of Equity’ to push a social agenda in our schools, despite claiming ‘no financial impact.’ Contact the Board (see district website for emails) and attend the meeting: ‘Vote NO on Item IV.A. We need funds for teachers and academics, not a six-figure Equity Chief. What is the true cost of this position?’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Salary & Benefits

New “Equity Chief” to Oversee Gifted & AP Programs
The job description for the proposed “Chief of Equity” (Item IV.A) gives this person direct oversight of Gifted and Talented Education (GATE), Advanced Placement (AP), and International Baccalaureate (IB) programs. The role is explicitly tasked with monitoring these programs for “equitable identification and access,” which is often the first step toward dismantling advanced programs in the name of achieving demographic parity.
Recommended Action Plan
URGENT – GIFTED/AP PARENTS: The new ‘Equity Chief’ in Item IV.A will have power over GATE, AP, and IB programs, with a focus on ‘equitable access.’ Contact the Board immediately (see district website for emails): ‘Protect advanced academics. Do not put Gifted and AP programs under the control of an Equity Chief. Vote NO on Item IV.A.’
💰 Impact: Threat to Advanced Academics

District Expanding “Community Schools” Program
The district is discussing the “next steps” for its “Community Schools” initiative. This term is often a euphemism for bringing non-academic services, like mental and physical health clinics, onto school campuses, potentially without direct parental consent for all services.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK FIRST: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item III.B on Community Schools, what specific services, programs, and community partners are being considered? Will any of these services be provided to students on campus without a parent present, and what are the parental notification and consent policies?’
💰 Impact: School-Based Services
