Scrutiny Needed for School ‘Improvement Plan’
📅 November 17, 2026
The district is holding a public hearing on a ‘Targeted Improvement Plan’ (TIP) for the Monte Alto Early College High School, a state requirement for underperforming campuses. Taxpayers and parents should be aware that these plans can become vehicles for hiring expensive, ineffective consultants or introducing controversial Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) programs instead of focusing on core academic recovery.
Response

ATTEND THE HEARING: Show up to the Public Hearing for Item 3. Ask the board: ‘What specific, evidence-based academic programs are in this plan, and what is the cost? Will any new consultants be hired, and what is their track record? Does this plan introduce any new Social-Emotional Learning curricula, student surveys, or data collection?’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Consultant Fees
