Massive Policy Overhaul Lacks Public Text
The board is scheduled for a final vote to adopt a large package of policies, including critical updates to ‘Parent Rights and Responsibilities,’ ‘Student and Family Privacy Rights,’ and ‘Selection of Instructional Materials.’ The actual text of these revised policies was not included in the provided board packet documents, preventing public review before the vote.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘2026-10-13 BP & AR Second Reading’ attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘We demand the vote on Item 12.A be postponed until parents have had at least 30 days to review the full text of these critical policies affecting our rights and our children’s privacy.’
💰 Impact: Your Rights Changed Without Review

District-Wide SEL Program ‘Positivity Project’ Already in Place
The Director of Student Support Services report reveals the district is actively implementing ‘The Positivity Project (P2),’ a school-wide program focused on ‘character strengths’ and behavior modification. This is a form of Social Emotional Learning (SEL) that is already operating in all schools without a clear, recent board vote or parental review mentioned in this agenda.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE BOARD: Use public comment (Item 9) to ask the board: ‘The Director’s report mentions ‘The Positivity Project.’ When was this SEL program approved? Where can parents review the full curriculum, including all ‘character strengths’ being taught, and what is the process to opt our children out?’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Character Formation

|
Public Comment Period Capped at 20 Minutes
The board limits the entire public comment period to just 20 minutes total, regardless of how many citizens sign up to speak. This means if as few as seven parents sign up for their allotted 3 minutes, some may be denied the chance to address the board.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TO BE HEARD: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and email the Board. ‘Regarding Item 9, the 20-minute total cap on public comment is an unacceptable restriction on parental rights. We demand this arbitrary time limit be removed to ensure all public voices can be heard.’
💰 Impact: Your Voice Silenced

District-Wide EdTech Purchase Lacks Efficacy Data
The district plans to spend $8,156.71 on 2,966 licenses for ‘Read&Write’ literacy software from Everway for student use. The agenda provides no independent, third-party evidence that this software improves academic outcomes, nor does it state how much daily screen time this will add for students.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Before voting on Item 15.Q, please publish the independent, non-vendor-funded studies proving Everway’s Read&Write software produces academic gains. Also, please disclose how many minutes of daily screen time this will add for a typical student and what direct instruction it will replace.’
💰 Impact: $8,156.71

District Confirms Use of MTSS for Behavior and Attendance Tracking
A director’s report confirms the district is using a ‘Behavior & Engagement Support Team (BEST)’ to implement a ‘Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS).’ This is a data-intensive framework for tracking student behavior and attendance, which can lead to students being labeled and subjected to interventions without full parental knowledge.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the MTSS and BEST programs mentioned in the Director’s report, what specific data points are being collected on my child’s behavior and attendance? Please provide the specific parental notification and consent forms used before a child is placed in a Tier 2 or Tier 3 intervention.’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Data

Vague ‘Community Engagement’ Program Lacks Detail
The district is approving a ‘Community Engagement Initiative (CEI)’ agreement, but the agreement itself was not included in the provided packet. While a director’s report frames this as an attendance initiative, these programs can sometimes involve intrusive data collection on students and families under the guise of ‘engagement.’
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ’26-27 CEI PLLN-VI_Standard Elementary’ attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm the program’s details. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item 15.P, what specific data will be collected on students and families under the Community Engagement Initiative, and who will have access to it? Parents must be able to opt-out of any data sharing.’
💰 Impact: Student & Family Surveillance
