Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Union Elementary. We found 5 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8)
Superintendent’s $100k “Blank Check” for Contracts
📅 August 17, 2026
The Board is set to rubber-stamp a list of contracts, each potentially worth up to $100,000, that the Superintendent has already signed without prior public approval. The actual list of vendors and services is hidden in an attachment that was not provided, preventing parents from seeing who is being paid before the money is approved.
Recommended Action Plan

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Trustees. ‘Pull Item 6.5 from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and vote. The public deserves to know which vendors the Superintendent has contracted with before you ratify these agreements.’

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Bypassing Board Oversight
⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6)
Hidden Vendor Payments on Warrant List
📅 August 17, 2026
The district is approving its list of payments to vendors, but the document detailing who was paid and for what is not included in the main agenda. This makes it impossible to see if taxpayer money is going to ideological consultants, controversial curriculum providers, or data-mining survey companies.
Recommended Action Plan

INVESTIGATE: Open the file for Item 6.3, ‘Warrant List,’ in the Official Agenda (linked above). Scan the list for payments to vendors like Panorama Education, CASEL, or other consultants promoting SEL and DEI.

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Spending
👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5)
Undisclosed Staff “Professional Development and Training”
📅 August 17, 2026
The Superintendent’s report on the new school year mentions ‘professional development and training for staff’ but provides no details on the topics or who is conducting the training. This is a common entry point for introducing concepts like critical race theory, gender ideology, or SEL under the guise of mandatory training.
Recommended Action Plan

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Superintendent. ‘Regarding Item 8.2, please provide the public with a list of all vendors, topics, and materials used for the 2026-27 staff professional development. Teacher training must focus on academic excellence, not social agendas.’

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Ideological Teacher Training
ALERT (LEVEL 4)
$147k Special Ed Contract with Undisclosed Terms
📅 August 17, 2026
The board is ratifying a $147,065 contract with a non-public school, ‘Esther B. Clark,’ for special education services. While these services are necessary, the contract itself is not attached, preventing parents from reviewing the terms of care and services being provided to the district’s most vulnerable students.
Recommended Action Plan

VERIFY VENDOR: Email the Board to request the full contract under Item 6.8. Parents have a right to know what services are being provided and if they align with district values, especially concerning mental health services.

💰 Taxpayer Impact: $147,065.00
ALERT (LEVEL 3)
Vague “Personnel Report” Requires Manual Review
📅 August 17, 2026
The board is approving a personnel report on the consent agenda, but the list of new hires, separations, and reassignments is in an un-extracted attachment. This report could contain the hiring of staff for non-academic, ideological roles like ‘DEI Coordinator’ or ‘Equity Officer’ without public scrutiny.
Recommended Action Plan

INVESTIGATE: Open the file for Item 6.2, ‘Personnel Report,’ in the Official Agenda (linked above). Scan the list of new hires for positions with titles that suggest an ideological rather than academic focus.

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Hires
