District to Formally Adopt Resolution Banning DEI

📅 September 28, 2026

The board will vote on a resolution to comply with SB 12, a state law restricting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives. This action ensures state-level taxpayer protections against divisive ideologies are enforced locally.

How to Secure It

SECURE THE WIN: Attend the public hearing (Item 4) and the vote (Item 8.A) to thank the board for fully implementing the state’s ban on divisive DEI programs. This sets a strong example for other districts.
