Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Santa Monica-Malibu Unified. We found 4 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8)
Policy Revisions on “District Philosophy” Hidden in Consent Agenda
📅 2026-09-03
The board is revising foundational district policies on “Philosophies, Goals, Objectives, & Comprehensive Plans” and has placed it on the consent agenda to be passed without discussion. These are often where ideological frameworks like “equity” and “whole child” are codified, impacting all curriculum and school activities.
Recommended Action Plan

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘I demand Item I.5.iii, Revisions to Philosophies and Goals, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a full discussion and roll-call vote. Parents deserve to know how you are changing the core mission of our schools.’

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Ideological Policy Shift
⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7)
Undisclosed “Independent Contractors” on Consent Agenda
📅 2026-09-03
The district is approving a list of “Independent Contractors” for the school year without disclosing who they are or what services they will provide. This is a common method for hiring DEI, SEL, or other ideological consultants without public scrutiny.
Recommended Action Plan

INVESTIGATE: Open the file for Item I.1.i in the Official Agenda (linked above) to identify these contractors. Email the Board: ‘Who are the independent contractors in Item I.1.i and what services will they provide? We will not approve a blank check for unknown consultants.’

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed
⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7)
Policy Updates for “Student Services”
📅 2026-09-03
The board is discussing updates to policies and regulations for “Student Services.” This department often handles sensitive issues like mental health screening, school counseling, and gender support plans, which can be implemented without parental knowledge or consent.
Recommended Action Plan

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: The documents for Item J.2 are not attached. Email the Board: ‘Regarding Item J.2, please publicly post all proposed policy updates for Student Services. Parents have a right to review any changes related to counseling and student health before they are discussed.’

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Privacy
⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6)
Unexplained Change to AP Government Course
📅 2026-09-03
The district is changing the AP U.S. Government course to something called “AP US Government ACES.” The agenda provides no explanation for what “ACES” means, raising concerns that it could be a curriculum rewrite to inject ideological content into a core civics class.
Recommended Action Plan

ASK QUESTIONS: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘What does the “ACES” designation in agenda item L.4 mean? Parents need to see the proposed curriculum changes for AP Government before they are approved.’

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Rewriting Civics
