Over $2.2 Million in Spending Hidden on Consent Agenda
The board plans to approve $2,241,239.62 in spending with a single vote and no public discussion under Item G.2. Bundling this large sum prevents parents from seeing exactly where their tax dollars are going, including potential payments to ideological vendors.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and demand that Item G.2, ‘Approval of Bills/Reimbursement of Expenses,’ be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. Parents have a right to know how over $2.2 million of their money is being spent before it’s approved.
💰 Impact: $2,241,239.62

Vague Contract with Student Services Staffing Agency
The board is voting to approve a contract with BlazerWorks, a company that provides schools with mental health and therapy staff. The agenda provides no details on the cost, scope of services, or parental consent requirements for these services.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The district has not provided the contract for BlazerWorks. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask for the full contract for Item H to be posted publicly before the vote. Ask: ‘What services will BlazerWorks provide to students, what is the cost, and what are the parental notification and consent procedures?’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Cost

Undisclosed ‘Clinical’ Staffing Agreement
The board is approving an agreement with ‘ESS Clinical, Inc.’ for staff placement. The term ‘clinical’ suggests medical or mental health roles, but the district has not provided the contract, the cost, or what type of staff will be placed with students.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The district has not provided the contract for ESS Clinical, Inc. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and demand the full contract for Item I be posted publicly before the vote. Ask: ‘What specific ‘clinical’ roles will this company fill, and will they interact with students without parental consent?’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Cost

Taxpayer-Funded Trip to Anti-Parent Lobbying Conference
The agenda lists the National School Boards Association (NSBA) annual conference as an upcoming event for board members. This organization has a history of lobbying against parental rights and has compared concerned parents to domestic terrorists, yet the district may be using taxpayer money to send officials to their event.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE BOARD: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask: ‘How many board members are attending the NSBA conference under Item R.2, and what is the total cost to taxpayers? Why is our district sending representatives to an event hosted by an organization that has actively worked against the interests of parents?’
💰 Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Travel
