Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Arvin Union. We found 7 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |
|
Ideological Programs Confirmed in Curriculum
The district’s approved curriculum list for 2026-2027 confirms the use of multiple Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and mental health screening programs. These include ‘Ruler’ (from the CASEL-aligned Yale Center), ‘Navigate 360,’ ‘Signs of Suicide Prevention,’ and the ‘Making Proud Choices’ comprehensive sex-ed curriculum for 7th-8th graders.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This confirms what’s being taught. Email the Board (see Official Agenda link for contacts) and sign up for public comment: ‘Parents must have the right to review and opt-out of SEL, mental health screening, and sex-ed programs like Ruler and Making Proud Choices. We demand a return to academic basics.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Academics Replaced by Activism

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
New Student Surveillance Software Contract
The board is approving a $30,892.56 contract with Lightspeed Systems. Beyond simple web filtering, this includes ‘Lightspeed Signal’ and ‘Lightspeed Alert Human Review,’ which actively monitor student communications on school devices for keywords, creating a digital surveillance system.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email Superintendent Georgia Rhett (see Official Agenda link for contact): ‘Regarding Item 29.2, what is the full keyword list for Lightspeed Alert? Who owns the student data collected, and what is the specific opt-out process for this surveillance?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $30,892.56 / Your Child’s Privacy

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Hiring for “SEL Writing” Clubs Hidden in Consent Agenda
Item 27.2.1, buried in the consent agenda, approves hiring multiple ‘ELOP Club Advisors’ specifically for ‘SEL Writing.’ This bundles the hiring of staff for ideological Social Emotional Learning programs with routine personnel matters, preventing public discussion.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND A SEPARATE VOTE: Email the Board (see Official Agenda link for contacts): ‘I demand that the hiring of “SEL Writing” advisors in Item 27.2.1 be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and vote. Parents deserve to know why we are prioritizing SEL over academics.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Stealth Ideological Hiring
|
| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Funding for “Community School” Plan
The board is approving a revised budget for its ‘Community Schools Budget Plan.’ This model often serves as a Trojan horse to bring school-based health clinics and other social services into schools, operating without direct parental oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The budget plan was not attached. Contact the District Office (see Official Agenda link): ‘Please provide the full 2026/2027 Community School Budget Plan referenced in Item 30.3. Parents must see which outside service providers will have access to our children.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Bypassing Parental Oversight

| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
District Spending on Ideological Training and Vendors
The district’s financial reports confirm spending on ideological frameworks. Payments include $650 for staff to attend a Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) conference and $20,110 to AVID Center, a vendor whose programs often embed SEL and equity concepts.
Recommended Action Plan
QUESTION THE SPENDING: Email Chief Business Official Mr. Chris Davis (see Official Agenda link for contact): ‘I am concerned about district funds being spent on ideological training like MTSS and vendors like AVID. How do these expenditures directly improve core academic outcomes in reading, writing, and math?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $20,760+
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 2) |
|
District Formally Adopts “Equity Statement”
The agenda includes the formal reading of the district’s ‘Equity Statement.’ While just a reading, this officially signals the district’s commitment to ‘equity’ as a guiding principle, which often prioritizes equal outcomes over equal opportunity and can lead to divisive policies.
Recommended Action Plan
Monitor: This establishes an ideological baseline for the district. Track how the term ‘equity’ is used in future policies and budget decisions. No immediate action required.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Ideological Framework

✅ Wins to Defend
Good moves worth showing up to support so they stick.

| Major Win (LEVEL 9) |
|
District Adopts Pro-Parent Gender Identity Policies
The board is reviewing policy updates (AR 5020, BP 5022, AR 5145.3) that incorporate the recent Mirabelli v. Bonta court decision. These changes would prohibit district staff from socially transitioning a child (using different names/pronouns) without parental consent or misleading parents about their child’s gender expression at school.
How to Lock It In
SECURE THIS WIN: This is a First Reading. Show up to thank the Board for considering these pro-parent updates. Email the Board (see Official Agenda link for contacts): ‘I strongly support the adoption of the revised policies incorporating the Mirabelli v. Bonta decision. Please vote YES to protect parental rights and stop secret social transitions.’
✅ Why It Matters: Strengthened Parental Rights
