“Student Wellness” Programs Tied to $39.8M Federal Grant
The district is set to receive $39.8 million in federal Title I funds and has named ‘student wellness’ as a key spending priority, according to minutes from the September 16th advisory council meeting. This vague term is often used as a cover to fund Social Emotional Learning (SEL) programs, mental health screenings, and other initiatives that can replace academics and infringe on parental rights.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding the $39.8M in Title I funding and the ‘student wellness’ priority mentioned in the September 16 DAC minutes, I demand a detailed, public breakdown of every program and vendor that will be funded under this category. Parents have a right to know if this money will be used for academics or for subjective SEL and mental health initiatives.’
💰 Impact: $39.8M (Federal Strings Attached)

Public Comment Limited to Four Minutes
The agenda for the October 21st District Advisory Council meeting allocates a total of only four minutes for all public comment. This severely restricts the ability of parents and community members to voice their concerns and hold the district accountable.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TO BE HEARD: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘The four-minute total allocation for Public Comment on the October 21 DAC agenda is unacceptable and silences the community. We demand that you expand public comment to allow for meaningful parental input at all public meetings.’
💰 Impact: Silencing Parents

District-Wide Use of i-Ready EdTech Platform
According to meeting minutes, the district is using the i-Ready software platform for student assessment and to guide instruction district-wide. The district has not provided independent evidence that this program improves academic outcomes, nor has it disclosed how much daily screen time it adds for students, replacing direct instruction from teachers.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding the use of i-Ready mentioned in the September 16 DAC minutes, please provide the public with the independent, non-vendor-funded studies showing its effectiveness in improving academic outcomes for San Diego students. Also, please disclose the average daily screen time required by this program per grade level before any renewals or expansions are approved.’
💰 Impact: Unproven Academic Value
