District Seeks New Corporate ‘Partners’ and ‘Sponsors’
The district is developing a new ‘philanthropy framework’ to bring in more outside money from corporate sponsors and community partners. While this sounds good, the plan mentions promoting ‘equity’ and could open the door to outside groups influencing our schools with their own agendas, without direct parental oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE BOARD: ‘Regarding Item 3.1, what specific guardrails will be in place to ensure that community partners and sponsors do not bring ideological agendas into our schools? Will parents have a transparent review process for all proposed partnerships before they are approved?’

New Policy Creates Strong Professional Boundaries for Staff
The proposed update to Policy GBEB on staff conduct is a huge win for protecting students. It explicitly forbids staff from discussing their personal or sexual lives with students, encouraging students to confide personal problems, or blurring professional boundaries. This policy helps keep the focus on academics and prevents classroom activism and grooming behaviors.
How to Lock It In
PACK THE ROOM TO SUPPORT THIS WIN: Show up to the meeting to strongly support the proposed changes to Policy GBEB under Item 3.4. This is a critical policy for protecting our children from inappropriate relationships and conversations with school staff. Let’s make sure it passes.
✅ Why It Matters: Protecting Our Children

District Strengthens Parental Right to Review Curriculum
Proposed changes to Policy IJ affirm parents’ right to inspect all instructional materials, including teacher’s manuals and supplementary materials. The policy also requires the district to maintain an up-to-date, publicly accessible catalog of all materials, a major step for transparency.
How to Lock It In
SUPPORT THIS WIN: Show up to thank the Board for strengthening Policy IJ under Item 3.4. Publicly praise this move for transparency and get it on the record so it can’t be quietly reversed. This is a model policy for other districts.
✅ Why It Matters: Curriculum Transparency

Student Code of Conduct Updated for Social Media Threats
The district is updating the Student Code of Conduct (Policy JICDA) to explicitly classify making threats of violence on social media as a top-level criminal offense. This is a necessary update to hold students accountable for modern forms of threats and keep our schools safe.
How to Lock It In
SUPPORT COMMON SENSE: Voice your support for the updates to Policy JICDA under Item 3.4. Holding students accountable for threats made online is crucial for school safety in the digital age.

District Protects Facilities from Subversive Groups
Updates to the policy on community use of school facilities (Policy KF) include strong language prohibiting any group that advocates for subversive or violent ideologies from renting school property. This is a good measure to ensure our school grounds are not used to host groups that are hostile to our community’s values.
How to Lock It In
ACKNOWLEDGE THIS SMART MOVE: When you speak about other items, thank the board for the protective language in Policy KF under Item 3.4 that keeps radical groups off school property.
