| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
On-Site ‘Social-Emotional’ Counseling Bypasses Parents
The district is contracting with ‘Harmony at Home’ to provide on-site ‘social-emotional counseling’ to students. This program is funded by a state initiative (CYBHI) and allows the contractor to bill your family’s health insurance directly, creating a provider-patient relationship that can operate without your full knowledge or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contacts): ‘I demand Item XI.6, the Harmony at Home contract, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. What is the parental consent process before a child is counseled, and can parents review all counseling materials?’

Controversial Counseling Contract Hidden in Consent Agenda
The board has bundled the approval for the ‘Harmony at Home’ social-emotional counseling contract (Item XI.6) into the Consent Agenda. This is a common tactic to pass controversial items without public discussion by grouping them with routine approvals like field trips and donations.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: We need parents at Tuesday’s meeting to demand accountability. Sign up for public comment and tell the board: ‘Stop hiding controversial contracts in the Consent Agenda. We demand a separate public discussion and vote on Item XI.6.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Board Oversight

New Bullying Policy Language Undisclosed
The board is conducting a first reading of a revised policy on Bullying (AR 5131.2). The text of this policy was not included in the agenda packet, preventing public review. Bullying policies are often used to introduce controversial concepts about gender identity and protected classes that go beyond established law.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file for AR 5131.2 attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes related to gender identity or speech codes. Email the Board: ‘Parents must be able to review the full text of policy revisions like AR 5131.2 before a first reading.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Policy Changes

District Accepts $2.5M in Federal Funds with Strings Attached
The district is approving its Consolidated Application (ConApp) for $2,509,302 in federal Title I, II, III, and IV funds. These large federal grants often come with mandates for specific curricula, student data collection, and DEI/SEL-aligned programs that are not transparent to parents.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE QUESTION: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding the $2.5M in federal funds from the Consolidated Application, what specific data sharing agreements and programmatic requirements has the district agreed to in order to receive this money?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $2.5M (Federal Strings Attached)

New ‘Conflict Resolution’ Policy May Introduce Restorative Justice
The board is reviewing a new draft policy on ‘Conflict Resolution/Peer Mediation’ (BP 5138). These programs often serve as a vehicle for ‘Restorative Practices,’ which can reduce accountability for student misconduct and insert DEI concepts like ‘respect for diversity’ into discipline.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND CLARITY: Email the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contacts): ‘Regarding draft policy BP 5138, is this a ‘Restorative Justice’ program? Parents must be allowed to review all training materials for student peer mediators before this policy is adopted.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Weakened School Discipline

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |

New Policy Allows Warrantless Searches of Student Phones
A proposed revision to the Mobile Communication Devices policy (BP 5131.8) would allow school officials to search a student’s personal phone without a warrant. The policy states a search can occur if an official ‘reasonably suspects’ it will turn up evidence of a rule violation, a vague standard that infringes on student privacy and parental rights.
Recommended Action Plan
PROTECT PRIVACY: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link): ‘The student phone search provision in BP 5131.8 is an overreach. What specific, urgent circumstances justify a warrantless search of a minor’s personal device, and what is the parental notification protocol?’
