Critical Parent Rights Policies Hidden in Consent Agenda
The board is set for a final vote on a massive bundle of revised policies under Item I.14, including ‘Parent Rights and Responsibilities,’ ‘Student and Family Privacy Rights,’ and multiple policies on reviewing instructional and library materials. Bundling these critical policies on the consent agenda is a tactic to prevent public discussion and scrutiny of each individual change before they become official.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on the district website): ‘I demand Consent Item I.14, the bundle of revised board policies, be pulled from the Consent Agenda. Each policy, especially those affecting parental rights and curriculum, must be discussed and voted on separately.’
💰 Impact: Eroded Parental Oversight

District Approving 5-Year School Counselor Pipeline
The district is approving a five-year agreement with California State University, Bakersfield to place their school counselor candidates in our schools. The agreement specifies training in ‘comprehensive student support systems’ and requires candidates to work with diverse student groups including ‘sexual minority youth (LGBTQ+),’ creating a direct pipeline for university-trained activists into our schools without parental oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a 5-year commitment. Email the Board (contact info on the district website) and sign up for public comment: ‘Vote NO on Consent Item I.5. We must not lock our district into a five-year contract that outsources our children’s guidance to university programs promoting controversial social ideologies.’
💰 Impact: University Activism in Schools

Vague Student Data Privacy Contract on Consent Agenda
Under Consent Item I.8, the district is approving a 3-year service agreement with ‘California IT in Education’ (CITE) to manage student data privacy agreements. It is unclear who this vendor is, what student data they will have access to, and what their privacy policies are, yet it’s being passed without discussion.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The attachment for Consent Item I.8, the CITE Service Agreement, is not in the public packet. Email the Board (contact info on the district website): ‘Before voting on Item I.8, please publish the full contract with CITE and explain what student data this vendor will access and how it will be protected.’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

Social-Emotional Scoring Added to TK Report Cards
The board is approving a new Transitional Kindergarten (TK) report card that grades 4-year-olds on ‘Social Emotional Development,’ including their ability to ‘regulate emotions and behaviors.’ This formalizes the tracking and scoring of subjective emotional states for our youngest students, shifting focus from academics to psychological evaluation.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the Board (contact info on the district website): ‘Regarding Consent Item I.4, parents must have the right to opt their children out of subjective social-emotional grading. This is a school, not a clinic. Focus on academics, not psychological profiling.’
💰 Impact: Psychological Grading

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The Superintendent’s report includes an item titled ‘Math In Service’ with no further details or attached documents. This could be routine professional development or the introduction of a new, controversial math curriculum that deemphasizes core skills.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Ask the board during public comment about item D.1.c: ‘What specific math curriculum or teaching method is the subject of the ‘Math In Service’ day? Please provide the training materials to the public.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Curriculum Changes
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The Superintendent’s report includes an ‘LCAP Survey QR Code’ without providing the text of the survey itself. These surveys are often used to gather data to justify ideological programs under the guise of community feedback, using leading questions about ‘equity,’ ‘wellness,’ or ‘school climate.’
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Parents should find and take the LCAP survey referenced in item D.1.d. Scrutinize the questions for biased language and report back to the chapter on any attempts to manufacture consent for ideological programs.
💰 Impact: Data for Social Agendas
