District Approves ‘Comprehensive Sex Ed’ Curriculum
Hidden in the purchase orders is an $11,975.83 payment for ‘Positive Prevention PLUS,’ a comprehensive sex education curriculum, plus $350 for teacher training. This curriculum often includes graphic content and gender ideology that goes far beyond basic biology, undermining parental guidance on sensitive topics.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM. Email Superintendent Regina Rossall and the Board of Trustees: ‘I demand the purchase orders for ‘Positive Prevention PLUS’ (PO3W-65102-0000544-270000000127-3 and PO2W-65102-0000544-270000000533-1) inside Consent Item XI.B.d be pulled for a separate vote. Parents, not the school, should be the primary educators of their children on these sensitive topics.’
💰 Impact: $12,325.83

Board to Approve $1.58 Million Contract for Temp Staff
The district plans to approve a $1.58 million contract with TherapyTravelers, LLC, a staffing agency that provides temporary speech and occupational therapists. This is a massive expenditure for outside contractors instead of hiring permanent district employees. Parents need to ask if this is the most cost-effective way to provide stable, high-quality services for our most vulnerable students.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email Superintendent Regina Rossall: ‘Regarding PO2W-65102-0000544-270000000515-1 in Consent Item XI.B.d, please provide the cost-benefit analysis showing why a $1.58M contract with a temporary staffing agency is better for students and taxpayers than hiring permanent district staff. This item must be pulled for public discussion.’
💰 Impact: $1,581,250.00

District Staffing ‘Campus Climate Assistants’ for Recess
The Personnel Report shows the district is paying staff extra for ‘Campus Climate Assistant’ and ‘Playworks’ roles. Playworks is a national organization that embeds Social Emotional Learning (SEL) into recess, using games to teach concepts like ‘conflict resolution’ and ‘inclusion’ that can replace unstructured play with guided social programming.
Recommended Action Plan
Email the Board of Trustees: ‘Regarding the Personnel Report (Item XI.B.c), what is the total cost of the Playworks program and the ‘Campus Climate Assistant’ stipends? Parents deserve to know how much is being spent on non-academic social programming during the school day.’
💰 Impact: Academics & Free Play

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The board is set to approve a list of fundraisers on its consent agenda, but the document containing the list was not included in the public packet. These lists can sometimes include partnerships with controversial organizations or student-led clubs with ideological missions.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file for Item XI.B.b attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains any fundraisers with ideological or controversial groups.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Partnerships

| ALERT (LEVEL 3) |
|
Union Contract Negotiations Going Public
The district and the teachers’ union have publicly released (‘sunshined’) the topics for their upcoming contract negotiations, including salary, benefits, work year, and class size. A public hearing is scheduled for November 3rd for community input on these proposals.
Recommended Action Plan
Monitor: Mark your calendar for the November 3, 2026 public hearing on union contract proposals (Items XIV.A and XIV.B). This is a key opportunity for parents to voice opinions on issues like class size and the school calendar before they are locked into a contract.
💰 Impact: Taxpayer Impact

| ALERT (LEVEL 3) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The board is approving the disposal of equipment, including instructional materials, but the list of items was not included in the agenda packet. This process could be used to discard valuable curriculum or books under the guise of being ‘obsolete’.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file for Item XI.B.e attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm what specific ‘instructional materials’ are being declared surplus or obsolete.
💰 Impact: Loss of Curriculum

District Strengthens Student Data Privacy Protections
The board is approving a new policy, E5125, that requires the district to have a written data privacy agreement with any website or app provider before it can be used with students. This new rule adds a critical layer of protection for your child’s personal information and creates a formal review process for all digital tools.
How to Lock It In
Show up to thank the Board for passing Item XIII.A. Getting this on the record encourages more common-sense policy and makes it harder to reverse. Use this policy as a model for neighboring districts.
✅ Why It Matters: Parental Oversight
