Secret Plan for District’s Financial Future on Action Agenda
The board is scheduled to vote on the Superintendent’s recommendations for the district’s ‘long-term financial sustainability’ under Action Item G-1. However, the actual plan, referenced as ‘Attachment A,’ has not been provided to the public, preventing parents from seeing what major changes like school closures or program cuts are being decided before the vote.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND A DELAY: Email the Board (contact info on the district website): ‘Do not vote on Action Item G-1. The public has not been given ‘Attachment A’ and cannot provide informed consent. Table this item until the full plan is released with adequate time for public review.’
💰 Impact: No Public Review

New ‘Student Experience’ Data-Mining Role Created
Under the guise of a routine staff change in Consent Item E-6, the district is creating a ‘Data Strategy and Analytics – School Systems Experience Lead.’ This role, which evolved from ‘Integrated and Expanded Learning,’ is designed to collect and analyze subjective, non-academic data about your child’s ‘experience’ at school, likely tied to social-emotional surveys and behavioral tracking.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on the district website): ‘Regarding the position change in Consent Item E-6, what specific student data will the new ‘School Systems Experience Lead’ be collecting? Parents must have the right to opt their children out of this non-academic data mining.’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Data

District Restricts Public Comment on New Issues
The board requires parents to submit requests to speak on non-agenda items a full seven days in advance, as stated in the agenda’s public comment rules. This policy effectively silences parents who want to address breaking news or new concerns, preventing the board from hearing timely feedback from the community they serve.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND YOUR RIGHT TO BE HEARD: Email the Board (contact info on the district website): ‘The seven-day advance notice requirement for Citizens’ Comments silences parents. We demand this be changed to allow for same-day sign-ups for non-agenda items, just as you allow for agenda items.’
💰 Impact: Suppressed Parent Voice

Undisclosed Spending Report on Consent Agenda
The board plans to approve a list of new payments and spending changes (Item E-4) without making the ‘Encumbrance Report’ public in the agenda packet. Hiding financial details on the ‘consent agenda’ is a common tactic districts use to sneak controversial vendors and ideological spending past parents.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The file for Item E-4, the ‘Encumbrance Report,’ is missing from the public agenda. Email the Board (contact info on the district website): ‘Pull Item E-4 from the Consent Agenda for a separate vote. The public deserves to see who the district is paying before you approve it.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending
