Undisclosed Board Policy Changes (First Reading)
The Board is holding a first reading for a batch of unspecified updates to Board Policies and Bylaws under Item 11.7. Since the actual text of the proposed changes was not included in the provided documents, parents cannot know if these updates impact parental rights, curriculum, or student privacy before they are voted on.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The district has not made the text of these proposed policy changes readily available. Go to the official agenda link, open the attachment for Item 11.7 (‘Proposed Revisions to Board Policies and Bylaws – August 2026.pdf’), and scrutinize the changes for any impact on parental rights or curriculum transparency before the second reading and final vote.
💰 Impact: Potential Parental Rights Violations

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The district is renewing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with healthcare giant Kaiser Permanente (Item 17.2). The terms of this agreement are not public, raising questions about what services Kaiser will provide on campus, what data will be shared, and whether parental consent is required for all student interactions.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: An MOU with a healthcare provider like Kaiser (Item 17.2) must be public. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Please publish the full text of the MOU with Kaiser Permanente. What specific services does this agreement allow on school grounds, and what are the parental notification and consent procedures?’
💰 Impact: School-Based Health Services

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The Board is voting to approve a large batch of purchase orders under Item 20.1, but the report detailing the vendors, items, and costs is not included. This lack of transparency makes it impossible for parents to see how their tax dollars are being spent and could conceal spending on ideological vendors.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The Purchase Order Report (Item 20.1) is a critical transparency document. Open the file ‘Oct 12.Board Report.Final.pdf’ on the official agenda and scan the vendor list for ideological consultants or other questionable spending.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The Board is set to approve a list of independent contractors for the school year under the consent agenda (Item 15.3). The document listing these contractors and the services they provide was not attached, preventing public review of who is being hired and for what purpose.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website) and demand Item 15.3 be pulled from the Consent Agenda for discussion. Ask them to publicly identify the contractors on the list ‘ICA Board Approval List 10_12_26.pdf’ and the cost associated with each before voting.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending

District Approving Student Assessment Software
The district is purchasing a subscription to Riverside Insights (Item 17.5), a company that provides student assessments. It is unclear which specific assessments are being purchased, whether they include Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) screeners, and what data will be collected on students.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Regarding Item 17.5, email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Which specific products from Riverside Insights are being purchased? Will any of these be used for universal mental health or SEL screening? Please confirm that parents will have the right to review these assessments and opt their children out.’
💰 Impact: Student Data Collection

Undisclosed Changes to District Rules
The district is presenting revisions to its Administrative Regulations (Item 21.2), which are the day-to-day rules for how schools operate. The actual text of these changes was not provided, preventing parents from reviewing new rules that could affect discipline, curriculum implementation, or student activities.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Item 21.2 is listed as ‘Information,’ but these rule changes matter. Open the attachment ‘Proposed Revisions to Administrative Regulations and Exhibits-August 2026.pdf’ on the official agenda. We need to know what’s changing before it becomes standard practice.
💰 Impact: Bypassing Board Oversight

| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The consent agenda includes approval for a list of new elementary school assemblies (Item 14.2), but the document detailing the presenters and topics was not provided. Assemblies are a direct line to students and must be vetted by parents for age-appropriateness and ideological content.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘New_Elementary_Assembly_10-12-26.pdf’ attached to Item 14.2 in the Official Agenda (linked above). Confirm who these assembly presenters are and what they will be teaching our elementary students.
💰 Impact: Unvetted Presenters

| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The district is approving a list of resource speakers for secondary schools under Item 15.2, but the document naming these individuals or groups is not included. Parents have a right to know who is being given access to their children during the school day.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ’10_12_2026 Secondary Schools – Resource Speakers .pdf’ attached to Item 15.2 in the Official Agenda (linked above). Verify the affiliations of these speakers before they are approved.
💰 Impact: Activist Access to Students
