District Approves $247k for After-School Partner
A massive $247,500 contract with ‘Right At School, LLC’ is in the Purchase Order report (Item 10d). These third-party before- and after-school programs are often saturated with Social Emotional Learning (SEL) curriculum, giving an outside vendor significant influence over students’ values.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Pull the Right At School contract from the Consent Agenda (Item 10d) for a full discussion. Parents demand to review the full curriculum this vendor will use with our children before a quarter-million-dollar contract is approved.’
💰 Impact: $247,500

Board Policy Restricts Public Comment
The board’s policy sends online comments directly to the board without being read publicly, silencing voices from the official meeting record. The board president can also cap total comment time on any single issue to just 20 minutes, effectively shutting down organized parent feedback on controversial topics.
Recommended Action Plan
Email the Board of Education (contact info on district website): ‘I demand that all public comments submitted online for Items 2 and 7 be read into the public record. Policy 9323(b) is being used to hide public criticism, and we will not be silenced.’
💰 Impact: Your Voice Silenced

District Spends $24k on Student ‘Goalbook’ Software
The district is spending $24,033 on ‘Goalbook’ software, found in Purchase Order Report 10d. This student-facing platform is often used to push ideological frameworks like Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) into the classroom under the guise of personalized learning.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Before approving the $24,033 Goalbook purchase in PO Report 10d, please provide independent, non-vendor-supplied evidence of its academic effectiveness and state how much additional daily screen time it will require for students.’
💰 Impact: $24,033

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The board is holding a second and final reading to approve a new homework policy (Action Item 11b, BP 6154), but the text of the policy has not been made public in the agenda. This policy directly impacts academic rigor and family life, and parents are being asked to trust the board blindly.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file for Action Item 11b attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes. Email the board and demand they postpone the vote until the full text is posted for public review for at least 72 hours.

School Funds Paid to Activist Group PETA
The Purchase Order report (Item 10d) shows a payment of $219.50 to PETA, a radical political activist organization. Public school funds should be spent on academics for children, not to support external political or ideological groups.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is an unacceptable use of funds. Email the Board (contact info on district website) and sign up for public comment: ‘I demand an explanation for the payment to PETA in PO Report 10d. Our school funds must not be used to subsidize political activism.’
💰 Impact: $219.50

New ‘At-Risk Counselor’ Hired
The district is hiring an ‘At-Risk Counselor’ under Consent Agenda Item 10a. These positions often implement Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and other psychological interventions, potentially without full parental knowledge or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Consent Item 10a, what is the job description for the At-Risk Counselor? Parents have a right to know what services are being provided to students and to give explicit consent before any psychological or emotional counseling occurs.’
💰 Impact: School-Based Therapy

District Contracts with Neuropsychology Firm
Under Consent Item 10c, the district is approving a $6,500 contract with ‘Dr. Sharis Rostamian / Inspire Neuropsychology’ for special education services. Parents need to know who is providing these sensitive services to children and what their practices are.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: This vendor needs to be vetted. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the contract with Inspire Neuropsychology in Item 10c, please provide information on this provider’s background and methods before the vote. Parents must be able to trust who has access to our children.’
💰 Impact: $6,500

| ALERT (LEVEL 3) |

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
Consent Item 10g is for the ‘Williams Lawsuit Settlement Quarterly Report on Uniform Complaints,’ but the report itself was not included in the agenda packet. This report details complaints about basic school necessities like textbooks and safe facilities.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file for Item 10g attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm what is in the quarterly complaint report.
💰 Impact: Lack of Transparency
