| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Board Bans Public Comment at Meeting
The agenda for the October 13th ‘luncheon meeting’ explicitly states, ‘No public comment will be allowed at this meeting.’ This action completely silences the voices of parents and taxpayers, preventing them from holding their elected officials accountable in a public forum.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TO BE HEARD: This may be a ‘luncheon meeting,’ but it is still a meeting of a public body where official business is discussed. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link for contact info) and email the Board of Education: ‘Item VII.K, which bans public comment, is an unacceptable silencing of the community you were elected to serve. We demand a public comment period at all board meetings where district business is conducted.’
💰 Impact: Your Right to Speak

Board Adopts ‘Unity’ and ‘No Promises’ Rules
The Board is reviewing its operating norms, including rules to ‘speak with one voice after decisions are made’ and to ‘refrain from making promises to… the public.’ These rules create a false front of unanimity, hiding dissenting board members’ opinions from the public and allowing officials to evade accountability to the voters who elected them.
Recommended Action Plan
CHALLENGE THE GAG RULE: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link for contact info) and email the Board of Education: ‘Regarding the Board Norms under review (Item VII.I), I object to Norms #4 and #17. The public has a right to know how each member votes and what they stand for; these rules appear designed to hide dissent and avoid accountability.’
💰 Impact: Board Accountability

Vague ‘Unified Improvement Plan’ on Agenda
The board is discussing the district’s Unified Improvement Plan (UIP), but the plan itself is not attached to the public agenda. These plans are often used to introduce non-academic frameworks like Social Emotional Learning (SEL) or Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) under the guise of ‘school improvement.’
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The Unified Improvement Plan (UIP) mentioned in Item VII.E must be made public before any discussion or action. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link for contact info) and demand they post the full UIP document online immediately for public review.
💰 Impact: Hidden Curriculum Frameworks
