Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Southwest Metro Intermediate 288. We found 2 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6)
Approving Secret Hires Without Public Review
📅 July 30, 2026
Under Item 3.1, the Board is voting to approve a list of ‘recommended hires’ without providing any names, job titles, or descriptions to the public. This lack of transparency prevents parents from knowing if the district is hiring teachers for core academics or creating new administrative roles for ideological initiatives like DEI or SEL.
Recommended Action Plan

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office and demand that the full list of recommended hires, including their positions and job descriptions, be published for public review before the board votes on Item 3.1. Parents have a right to know who is being hired to teach their children.

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed salaries for unknown positions.
👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5)
Granting Superintendent Unexplained New Powers
📅 July 30, 2026
Item 3.2 asks the Board to approve the Superintendent as the ‘IoWa.’ The agenda provides no explanation for this acronym or what new authorities this designation grants. This is a rubber-stamp vote on an undefined role, which could expand the Superintendent’s power without any public oversight or debate.
Recommended Action Plan

DEMAND ANSWERS: Contact the District Office and ask for a public, plain-English explanation of what ‘IoWa’ stands for and what specific new duties or authorities this gives the Superintendent under Item 3.2. This should not be voted on until parents understand what it means.

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Potential for expanded administrative power without oversight.
