Heads up! We have scanned the upcoming agenda for Seattle School District No. 1. We found 4 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Vague ‘School Safety’ Resolution Hidden from Public
The Board is voting on Resolution No. 2026/27-08, which supports the Superintendent’s ‘School Safety Measures.’ However, the text of the resolution is not included in the agenda packet, leaving parents completely in the dark about what these measures entail. This could be anything from common-sense security to controversial ‘restorative justice’ discipline policies that keep bad actors in the classroom.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the School Board (see Official Agenda link for contacts): ‘Postpone the vote on Action Item VIII.2, Resolution 2026/27-08, until the full text is made public with at least one week for parental review. We will not accept a blank check on school safety.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Policy

Secret List of Special Education Vendors
Under Consent Agenda item VII.5, the Board is set to approve an unknown number of contracts with unnamed vendors for special education services. The agenda provides no list of these vendors or the cost, referencing an attachment that is not included in the public packet. This prevents parents from vetting the companies that will be working with our most vulnerable students.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Email the School Board (see Official Agenda link for contacts): ‘Pull Consent Item VII.5 from the consent agenda for a separate vote. Parents demand to see the list of vendors and contract amounts for special education services before you approve them.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed

District to Implement Universal Screening for All First Graders
The district plans to implement the Naglieri General Ability Tests (NGAT) for every single first-grade student as a ‘universal screening’ tool. This means every 6-year-old will be tested, assessed, and labeled, creating a permanent data file that will follow them throughout their school career. The district has not provided information on parental consent, opt-out rights, or who will have access to this sensitive data.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: Email the School Board (see Official Agenda link for contacts): ‘Regarding Action Item VIII.1, what is the parental notification and opt-out process for the Naglieri tests? Who owns the data collected on our children, and with whom will it be shared? Do not vote until these questions are answered publicly.’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Data Profile

$275,000 Arts Grant with ‘Equity’ Strings Attached
The district is accepting a $275,000 grant from the City of Seattle for an arts partnership called ‘The Creative Advantage.’ The agreement repeatedly states the goal is to ensure ‘equitable access’ and provide ‘culturally responsive’ learning, language often used to inject political and social agendas into subjects like art. This raises questions about whether this money funds actual arts education or ‘artivism’ focused on ideology.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE QUESTION: Email the School Board (see Official Agenda link for contacts): ‘Regarding Consent Item VII.4, can the Board provide examples of the ‘equitable’ and ‘culturally responsive’ art projects this $275,000 will fund? Parents need to know if this is about art skills or activism before it’s approved.’
💰 Impact: $275,000 (Ideological Strings)
