Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for San Mateo Union High. We found 4 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6)
Camera Required for Virtual Public Comment
📅 2026-08-27
The district’s rules for virtual participation require parents to have their camera turned on to make a public comment via Zoom. This policy creates a barrier for parents who may lack the technology or wish to protect their family’s privacy from being broadcast.
Recommended Action Plan

Email the Board at Board@smuhsd.org: ‘Requiring cameras for virtual public comment is an unnecessary barrier to parental participation. Please amend this rule to allow all parents to speak, regardless of their access to a camera or their desire for privacy.’

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Public Participation
⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6)
New Book Approved Without Public Discussion
📅 2026-08-27
The board is approving a new book, “Antigona Gonzalez,” by bundling it into the consent agenda. This tactic prevents any public discussion on the book’s content, which deals with mature themes of violence and grief, and its suitability for students.
Recommended Action Plan

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board at Board@smuhsd.org: ‘I demand Item O.19 be pulled from the Consent Agenda. The approval of new books for our children deserves a separate discussion and vote, not to be hidden in a bundle of contracts.’

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Bypassing Parent Review
👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5)
Vague “Promise Program” on Consent Agenda
📅 2026-08-27
The board is set to approve a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for a “Promise Program” without public discussion. The details of this program are not disclosed in the agenda, leaving parents in the dark about potential ideological components or data-sharing agreements.
Recommended Action Plan

INVESTIGATE: Open the file for item O.14 attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm the details of this ‘Promise Program’ MOU. Email the Board at Board@smuhsd.org to pull this item from the consent agenda for public discussion.

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Program Details
ALERT (LEVEL 4)
Undisclosed “Lydian” Vendor Contract
📅 2026-08-27
The board is approving a Memorandum of Understanding with an external vendor named “Lydian” on the consent agenda, hiding it from public scrutiny. Parents need to know what services are being contracted for with our children and what student data might be shared.
Recommended Action Plan

INVESTIGATE: Open the file for item O.18 attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to verify the vendor ‘Lydian’ and the terms of the agreement. Email the Board at Board@smuhsd.org to ask for clarity on this partnership.

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Vendor Services
