Undisclosed $77,500 Contract with Mystery Consultant
The board plans to approve a $77,500 contract with ‘Mairposa Consulting’ on the consent agenda, with no description of the services to be provided. Parents have a right to know what this consultant will be doing and if they promote ideological agendas before this money is spent.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email comments@scholarshipschools.org with subject ‘Public Comment for Board Meeting (on 11/12/2026)’: ‘Pull Consent Item III.J from the agenda. The board must publicly explain what services Mairposa Consulting provides and what strings are attached to the Charter School Growth Fund grant before approving this $77,500 contract.’
💰 Impact: $77,500

District to Spend $100,000 on Public Relations Firm
The board is approving up to $100,000 for a contract with Larson Communications, a PR firm, hiding it on the consent agenda. This raises serious questions about financial stewardship when that money could be spent on teachers and academic resources for students.
Recommended Action Plan
QUESTION SPENDING: Email comments@scholarshipschools.org with subject ‘Public Comment for Board Meeting (on 11/12/2026)’: ‘Regarding Consent Item III.K, why does the district need to spend $100,000 on a communications firm? The board should justify this expense and explain why these funds are not being directed to the classroom before voting.’
💰 Impact: $100,000

Vague ‘Expanded Learning’ Plans Hidden on Consent Agenda
The board is set to approve ‘Expanded Learning Opportunities Program Plan Guides’ for all five campuses without discussion as part of the consent agenda. The actual plans are not included in the agenda, preventing public review of what new programs or curricula might be introduced to students outside of regular school hours.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE & DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email comments@scholarshipschools.org with subject ‘Public Comment for Board Meeting (on 11/12/2026)’: ‘Regarding Consent Items III.E through III.I, the Expanded Learning Opportunity Program Plan Guides must be made public before the vote. Pull these items from the consent agenda for a full discussion and vote only after parents have had a chance to review the plans.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Programming

School Mission Based on ‘Trauma-Informed’ Ideology
The board will open the meeting by reading its mission statement, which frames the schools as ‘trauma-informed.’ This approach often prioritizes psychological interventions and Social Emotional Learning (SEL) over core academics, viewing students through a therapeutic lens rather than as scholars.
Recommended Action Plan
Monitor: This ‘trauma-informed’ language is a key indicator of a therapeutic, non-academic focus. Track how this philosophy shows up in future curriculum and policy decisions.
💰 Impact: Focus on Therapy over Academics
