New Policy Allows Mental Health Treatment for Kids 12+ Without Parental Consent
The new Mental Health policy (BP SP 5141.5) explicitly allows students 12 and older to consent to mental health treatment or counseling. Critically, it allows the mental health professional to bypass parental consent if they decide that involving the parent would be ‘inappropriate,’ effectively cutting parents out of their own child’s mental healthcare decisions.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a critical threat to parental rights. Email the Board (contact info on district website) and sign up for public comment for the October 13 meeting. ‘We do not co-parent with the government. Vote NO on Item 7.9, the Mental Health Policy. No school employee or contractor should ever have the authority to decide that a parent’s involvement in their own child’s mental health is ‘inappropriate’.’
💰 Impact: Your Parental Rights

District Authorizes Monitoring of Student Social Media
The proposed update to the Student Records policy (BP SP 5125) would authorize the district to gather and maintain information from students’ personal social media accounts. While the policy claims this is for ‘school safety,’ it opens the door to widespread surveillance of students’ private speech and activities outside of school hours.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a major privacy violation. Email the Board (contact info on district website) and attend the meeting to speak against Item 7.8. ‘Vote NO on policy BP SP 5125. The district has no right to monitor our children’s private social media accounts. This is an unacceptable overreach and a violation of their privacy.’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

SEL Program ‘Conscious Discipline’ Adopted for Preschoolers
The Early Childhood Education report (Item 8.1) reveals the adoption of ‘Conscious Discipline,’ a comprehensive Social Emotional Learning (SEL) framework, for preschool and Head Start programs. This program focuses on ‘adult self-regulation’ and ‘trauma-informed practices,’ embedding therapeutic and behavioral ideology into the curriculum for the district’s youngest learners.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the ECE report (Item 8.1), what is the total cost of the Conscious Discipline program, including training and materials? Parents have a right to review all curriculum and opt their children out of psychological programming like SEL.’
💰 Impact: Ideology in Preschool

| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Bullying Policy Mandates ‘Racial Justice’ Re-Education
The updated Bullying policy (BP/SP 5131.2) mandates that any student involved in an incident of ‘racist bullying’ be required to participate in a ‘culturally sensitive program that promotes racial justice and equity.’ This replaces traditional discipline with mandatory ideological re-education and introduces controversial concepts like ‘restorative justice.’
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND NEUTRAL DISCIPLINE: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item 8.6, discipline for bullying should be fair, consistent, and free of political ideology. Mandating ‘racial justice and equity’ programming is inappropriate. Please remove this requirement and restore neutral, conduct-based disciplinary procedures.’
💰 Impact: Ideological Punishment

Vague Title on Board Election Policy — Manual Review Required
The Board is conducting a first reading of updates to its election policies (BB 9220). The attachments containing the proposed changes were not available for review, making it impossible to see if they impact election integrity or candidate qualifications.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘BB 9220 Gov Board Elections Revised 10-2026’ attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes that could affect election fairness or board composition.
💰 Impact: Election Integrity

Board Training Policy Funnels Members to Lobbying Group
The proposed update to the Board Training policy (BB 9240) would deem completion of the California School Boards Association’s (CSBA) ‘Masters in Governance’ program as satisfying the state’s public finance training requirement. This effectively steers board members into training provided by a political lobbying organization known for promoting ideological agendas, using district funds.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND NEUTRALITY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item 6.2, Board Training Policy BB 9240, the policy should not give preferential treatment to CSBA’s training programs. Please amend the policy to require neutral, non-partisan training on finance and governance, not programs from a political lobbying group.’
💰 Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying

SEL Concepts Replacing Academics in Alternative Education
The Alternative Education report details ‘Project Thrive’ and a ‘Portrait of a Learner’ which focuses on social-emotional traits like ’empathy,’ ‘resilience,’ and ‘student agency’ instead of academic achievement. This is a clear shift towards Social Emotional Learning (SEL) as the primary measure of student success.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE BOARD: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the Alternative Education report, what specific academic metrics are used to measure success in Project Thrive? How does the district ensure that SEL concepts like the ‘Portrait of a Learner’ do not replace core academic instruction and standards?’
💰 Impact: Academics Replaced by SEL

‘Parent Involvement’ Policy Changed to ‘Family Engagement’
The district is updating its ‘Parent Involvement’ policy (BP/SP 6020), renaming it ‘Family Engagement’ and adding ‘family members’ throughout. This language shift is often used to dilute the specific, legal rights of parents by including a broader, undefined group of ‘family’ in school decision-making.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK FOR CLARITY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item 8.5, please clarify the definition of ‘family members’ in the proposed Parent Involvement policy. Parental rights are specific and legally protected; the policy should prioritize the role of parents and legal guardians, not a vaguely defined ‘family’.’
💰 Impact: Diluted Parental Authority

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Vague Title on Tech Grant — Manual Review Required
The board will hear a presentation on an ‘Innovation Grant’ for an ‘Assistive Technology Lending Library.’ While this could be beneficial for students with disabilities, the attachments detailing the grant and any associated vendors or requirements were not available for review.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘Yolo-COE-PPT-Lisa Yamasaki 10.13.2026’ attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) for Item 2.3 to confirm whether the grant contains ideological strings or involves controversial vendors.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Grant Details

| ALERT (LEVEL 2) |
|
District Hires New ‘Equity’ Specialist
The district is introducing a new ‘Program Specialist’ for its ‘Equity and Support Services’ department. The title of this department signals a focus on ideological programs rather than core academics, and its activities should be closely monitored.
Recommended Action Plan
Monitor: Track the initiatives and spending from the ‘Equity and Support Services’ department. No immediate action required.
💰 Impact: Focus on Ideology
