Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for San Mateo-Foster City. We found 5 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
“Equity-Focused” Study Session Scheduled for October
The board has scheduled a study session for October 15, 2026, specifically on “EQUITY-FOCUSED STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT.” This signals a major push towards policies that often prioritize equal outcomes over equal opportunity, potentially leading to lowered academic standards and divisive identity-based curriculum.
Recommended Action Plan
PREPARE FOR BATTLE: Mark your calendars for October 15th. This is an advance warning of a major ideological push. Start researching the district’s definition of ‘equity’ now and prepare public comments to defend academic excellence and equal opportunity for all students.

District to Spend $64k on “Restorative Practices” Training
The district plans to approve a $64,377.50 contract with Restorative Solutions, Inc. to implement “restorative practices.” These programs often replace traditional discipline with group therapy sessions, can undermine teacher authority, and are frequently used to introduce concepts of systemic bias into the school.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: This is on the Consent Agenda, meaning it’s set for automatic approval. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘I demand Item 7.D.2, the contract with Restorative Solutions, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and public vote. What specific training will this company provide to our teachers and students?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $64,377.50

District to Spend $106k on “Project-Based Learning” Consultant
The board is set to approve a $106,650 contract with PBL Works for “Project-Based Learning” implementation. While this can be a valid teaching method, it can also be used as a vehicle to replace core academics with subjective, politically-driven projects.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The contract details are in a hidden attachment. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item 7.C.2, please provide the full contract with PBL Works. Parents need to see what criteria will be used for these ‘real-world’ projects before you spend over $100,000.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $106,650

| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Rubber-Stamping of Undisclosed Small Contracts
Item 7.A.9 asks the board to ratify a report of all contracts and consultant services under $45,000, but the report itself is not attached to the public agenda. This practice allows potentially controversial vendors or services to be approved in a bundle without public scrutiny.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘I request that the full report for Item 7.A.9, listing all contracts under $45,000, be made public before the vote. Bundling and ratifying undisclosed spending undermines public trust.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Board Oversight

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The board is approving the “School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA)” for Bayside Elementary and Middle school under item 7.C.1. These plans dictate how improvement funds are spent and can contain hidden ideological programs related to SEL, DEI, or equity.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘2026-27 Bayside Elementary and Middle SPSA’ attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes or spending on ideological programs.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Spending
