Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Eastside Union Elementary. We found 6 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
School Partners with Social Services Agency
The district is entering an agreement with ‘Empower Health Antelope Valley’ to connect students to healthcare, social services, and community resources. This partnership includes provisions for ‘home-visit well checks’ and referrals for behavioral health, housing instability, and public benefit programs like Medi-Cal, creating a pathway for external agencies to engage with your family through the school.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Trustees (see district website for contacts): ‘I demand Item 6.F, the MOU with Empower Health, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a full discussion. What specific parental consent is required before a student is referred, and how is our family’s private data protected under this agreement?’

$469,300 Contract for “Social-Emotional Growth”
Under the Consent Agenda, the board is approving a $469,300 contract with a vendor called ‘Pathways Travels’ for camps and after-school programs. The stated goal is to ‘promote social-emotional growth,’ embedding Social Emotional Learning (SEL) into enrichment activities paid for by taxpayers.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Trustees (see district website for contacts): ‘Pull Item 6.G from the Consent Agenda for a separate vote. Parents deserve to know what specific “social-emotional” curriculum is being taught by Pathways Travels before the district spends nearly half a million dollars.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $469,300

Hidden Details in Field Trip Approvals
The district is approving all school field trips for the year in a single vote. The justification uses ideological language, citing ‘social-emotional development’ and ‘equity’ as primary goals, shifting the focus from academics. The actual list of field trips is in an attachment that was not included in the public agenda packet.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached to Item 6.B in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm the destinations and educational purpose of these field trips. Email the Board to ask how ‘equity’ is measured on a field trip.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed

Blank Check for District Spending
Item 6.C on the Consent Agenda asks the Board to approve all bills and purchase orders from the last two weeks without public disclosure. The attachment listing the specific vendors and amounts was not included in the agenda packet, preventing parents from seeing where their money is going.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached to Item 6.C in the Official Agenda (linked above) to identify any payments to controversial consultants or curriculum providers. This is how ideological vendors get their foot in the door.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Spending

|
District Limits Public Comment Time
The agenda states the Board will cap all public testimony on any single agenda item at a total of twenty minutes. This means if seven parents sign up to speak for their allotted three minutes each, the seventh parent will be cut off, effectively silencing public input on controversial topics.
Recommended Action Plan
SHOW UP & SPEAK: Arrive early to sign up for public comment on a key issue. In your comments, state for the record: ‘The 20-minute time limit per item is an unacceptable restriction on the public’s right to be heard. We demand you remove this arbitrary cap.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Parental Voice

| Major Win (LEVEL 8) |
|
WIN: Full List of Textbooks Published for Review
The district is holding a public hearing on textbook sufficiency and has published the full list of instructional materials for every grade and subject. This is a major transparency win, giving parents a clear view of what their children will be taught and an official opportunity to review and comment on the curriculum.
How to Lock It In
SECURE THE WIN: Attend the Public Hearing (Item 5.A) to thank the board for this transparency. Use this opportunity to get on the record with any specific curriculum concerns. This sets a precedent for keeping parents informed.
✅ Why It Matters: Parental Vigilance
