District to Accept $1.15M Annually for ‘Community Schools’ Model
The board will vote to accept $1.15 million per year in state funding to transform five schools into ‘Community Schools.’ This model shifts the school’s mission from education to providing ‘whole-child’ services, including mental health and other social supports, which expands government overreach into family life and leads to extensive data collection on students and families.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and email the Board: ‘Regarding Item IX.B, I demand the Board delay this vote. Parents need a full presentation on what specific services the ‘Community Schools’ model will bring, which outside partners will be involved, and what data will be collected and shared with the state.’
💰 Impact: $1.15M Annually (State Strings Attached)

District Spending $40k on Staff Training, Including MTSS and Equity
Buried in a $40,514 conference report, the district is sending staff to an ‘RTI at Work™ Institute’ to learn about Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS). MTSS is a framework for student intervention that can lead to data-mining and labeling of children without full parental consent. Another conference for leadership focuses on ‘equity’ as a problem-solving strategy.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding the MTSS/RTI training in Item VII.C, what is the district’s specific policy for notifying parents and obtaining consent before a child is placed into a Tier 2 or Tier 3 intervention for academic or behavioral reasons?’
💰 Impact: $40,514.68

District to Place University Social Work Students in Schools

District Hires ‘Clinical Team’ for Animal-Based SEL

Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item VII.K, who are the members of this ‘clinical team’ and what are their qualifications?

District Pays for ‘Capturing Kids’ Hearts’ SEL Program
The district is paying The Flippen Group $11,600 for its ‘Capturing Kids’ Hearts’ program, which will be used at two schools. This is a Social Emotional Learning (SEL) program that shifts classroom focus from academics to student attitudes, relationships, and behavior modification.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item VII.J, please pull this from the Consent Agenda. Parents deserve to know what is in the ‘Capturing Kids’ Hearts’ training and how it supports academic achievement, not social engineering.’
💰 Impact: $11,600
