Heads up! We have scanned the upcoming agenda for Tukwila School District. We found 7 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
Superintendent Goals Embed ‘Equity’ and ‘Restorative Practices’
The Superintendent’s draft goals for 2026-27 focus heavily on ideological initiatives instead of academics. The plan is to reduce ‘discipline disproportionality’ using ‘restorative practices’ and ‘MTSS,’ and to create ‘Racial Equity advisory structures,’ embedding social agendas into every level of the district.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is the district’s ideological blueprint. Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link) and demand they reject Item 6.A, the Superintendent’s Goals, and direct a rewrite focused on academic excellence, not social engineering.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Academics Replaced by Activism

| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
District Annual Report Prioritizes ‘Equity’ and ‘Identity’
The district’s annual report, presented under Item 8.C, is a strategic document celebrating its focus on ‘equity,’ ‘identity safety,’ and a ‘Portrait of a Graduate.’ This framework shifts the focus from academic achievement to subjective social-emotional competencies and group identity.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link) regarding Item 8.C: ‘How does the ‘Portrait of a Graduate’ improve math and reading scores? Parents want a focus on core academics, not ideological frameworks.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Lower Academic Standards

District Injects ‘Equity’ into Staff Hiring Decisions
The proposed update to Policy 5000, ‘Recruitment & Selection of Staff,’ explicitly adds ‘equity’ as a criterion for hiring. This means the most qualified candidate could be passed over in favor of one who better fits an ideological profile, compromising classroom quality.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: Contact the Board regarding Item 6.D: ‘Define ‘equity’ in the context of hiring. Policy 5000 should ensure the most qualified, not the most ideologically aligned, teachers are hired for our children.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Ideology Over Merit
|
| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Vague Financial Approvals Need Scrutiny
The board is set to approve over $4.4 million in payments under Consent Agenda item 5.D. While a summary is provided, the detailed vendor payments are in multiple attachments that were not included in the public-facing documents, preventing parental oversight of where money is being spent.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the files attached to Item 5.D in the Official Agenda (linked above) to check for controversial vendors. Email the Board: ‘Pull Item 5.D from the Consent Agenda. Parents deserve a public, detailed list of all vendor payments before this $4.4M is approved.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $4.4M+
|
| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Harassment Policy Expanded to Include Gender Ideology
The district is updating its staff sexual harassment policy (Policy 5011) to include ‘gender expression’ and ‘gender identity’ as protected classes. This opens the door to staff being disciplined for not using preferred pronouns or for expressing views that don’t align with gender ideology.
Recommended Action Plan
PROTECT FREE SPEECH: Contact the Board regarding Item 9.C: ‘Policy 5011 should protect staff from actual harassment, not compel them to adopt specific beliefs about gender. Remove ‘gender expression’ and ‘gender identity’ to protect staff’s freedom of conscience.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Compelled Speech for Staff
|
| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Meeting Opens with Divisive ‘Labor Acknowledgement’
The board opens its meetings with a ‘Labor Acknowledgement’ that promotes a divisive worldview, claiming ‘systemic injustice falls upon the labor of black and brown bodies.’ This political ritual sets a non-academic, activist tone for the meeting before any business is conducted.
Recommended Action Plan
REFOCUS ON KIDS: Contact the Board regarding Item 1.E: ‘School board meetings should focus on education, not divisive political statements. Please remove the ‘Labor Acknowledgement’ from future agendas.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Divisive Political Rituals
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
Item 7.A includes a presentation on the Multilingual Learner (MLL) program, but the corresponding report, ‘MLL BOD_Report_92226.pdf,’ was not included in the provided documents. Parents cannot review the substance of this report before the meeting.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Lack of Transparency
