| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |

SEL Program “Leader in Me” Hidden in Consent Agenda
The board has buried a 4-year, $37,362 contract for the “Leader in Me” program in the consent agenda. This is a Social Emotional Learning (SEL) program described as a “whole-school transformation” that creates a “common language and culture,” which can easily be used to push ideology and replace traditional values.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘I demand Item O.21, the “Leader in Me” contract, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. Parents deserve to know what “leadership principles” this SEL program will teach our children.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $37,362.35

New Rules May Allow Searching Your Child’s Phone
The board is adopting a new policy on student smartphone use that includes language about clarifying the rules for “search of a student’s personal electronic device.” This could open the door to administrators searching your child’s private data without your knowledge or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The full text of Policy 5131.8 is in an attachment. Open the file on the Official Agenda (linked above) to see the exact rules for searching a student’s phone. Email the Board: ‘What are the specific conditions under which you can search a child’s phone? Policy 5131.8 must require parental notification and consent before any search.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

New Policy Restricts Elected Board Member School Visits
The board is revising its policy to define school visits as a “collective governance” activity, not something an “individual Board member” can do. This is a classic maneuver to prevent parent-aligned board members from making their own observations, effectively shielding classrooms from real oversight by your elected representatives.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: This policy appears to limit the ability of your elected representatives to see what’s happening in schools. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Board members are our elected watchdogs. Do not pass revisions to Bylaw 9241 that prevent them from freely visiting schools to see the real conditions.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Board Oversight

$18.3 Million in Payments Hidden in Consent Agenda
The board is set to approve a warrant list for over $18.3 million in payments with a single vote. The actual list of vendors receiving this money is in an attachment, preventing public scrutiny of where taxpayer money is going before the vote.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the ‘Warrant List’ file for item O.3 attached in the Official Agenda (linked above). Scan the list for ideological vendors like Panorama, CASEL, or others, and flag any suspicious payments for the chapter.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $18.3M

New History Textbook on “Protest and Change”
The district is spending $13,800 on a new high school history textbook titled “Protest and Change.” The rationale describes it as a “counterbalance” focusing on “social movements, civil rights activism, and grassroots resistance,” which risks framing American history through a narrow, activist-focused lens rather than teaching foundational facts.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: The district claims this book was on public display. Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Parents need to see the content of the “Protest and Change” textbook before it’s approved. Please table the vote on Item N.1 until parents can review the material and understand how it will be taught.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $13,800.00

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The board is approving and ratifying two large batches of unspecified service contracts hidden in the consent agenda. The list of vendors is in an attachment, preventing public review of who the district is hiring and for what purpose.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the ‘Vendor List’ file attached to items O.28 and O.29 in the Official Agenda (linked above). Scan for any DEI, SEL, or other ideological consultants and immediately alert the chapter.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed

Board to Lobby State Government on Prop 98
The board is voting on a resolution to use its official position to lobby the state government in support of Proposition 98 funding. This uses local district resources and political capital to engage in state-level advocacy, distracting from its core mission of educating children in Temecula.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The text of Resolution 2026-27/02 is in an attachment. Open the file on the Official Agenda (linked above) to see exactly what political positions the board is taking. Email the Board: ‘The school board should focus on local education, not state-level lobbying. Vote NO on Item N.2.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying

WIN: Board to Require National Anthem at Sporting Events

How to Lock It In
AMPLIFY THIS WIN: Show up to thank the Board for promoting patriotism. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Thank you for introducing Policy 6115 to honor the National Anthem at athletic events. Please vote YES to affirm our community’s respect for our nation.’
