Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Baldwin Park Unified. We found 5 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
Federal Grant for School-Based Mental Health
The district is accepting a “Mental Health” federal grant (MHADA) under the consent agenda. These grants often come with strings attached, requiring the district to implement mental health screenings or data collection that can occur at school without direct parental involvement or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: This grant could open the door to school-based mental health services that bypass parents. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item P.22, please provide the full text of the MHADA grant agreement. What specific programs, screenings, or data sharing requirements does this grant impose on our district?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Federal Strings Attached

SEL Vendor “Positive Discipline” Contract Renewal
The district is renewing a contract with “Disciplina Positiva, Inc.” This is the Spanish name for “Positive Discipline,” a social-emotional learning (SEL) program that often replaces traditional classroom management and consequences with therapeutic techniques, undermining teacher authority.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: This item is on the Consent Agenda. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Pull Item P.17, the Disciplina Positiva contract, for a separate discussion and vote. Parents deserve to know how this SEL program will impact classroom discipline before it is renewed.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undermining Classroom Discipline

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Final Vote on Changes to Board Member Authority
The board is taking a final vote on revising bylaws that define the limits of their own authority, how they can communicate, and what they can say publicly. These changes can be used to silence dissenting board members and reduce transparency and accountability to parents.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the files attached in the Official Agenda for items R.8, R.9, and R.10 to confirm whether they contain policy changes that limit board accountability. Email the Board: ‘Parents demand a plain-English summary of how these bylaw changes impact transparency before you take a final vote.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Board Oversight

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Data Analytics Contract for Youngest Students
The district is contracting with CCR Analytics to provide data services for its early childhood programs. This means an outside vendor will be analyzing data on the district’s youngest and most vulnerable students, potentially for compliance with state and federal programs that have ideological components.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item P.20 with CCR Analytics, what specific student data will be shared with this vendor? Will parents be notified, and what is the process for opting our children out of this data collection?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Student Behavior & Data Tracking Software
The district is renewing software from “5-Star Students” for two schools. This software is used to track student behavior, attendance, and activities, creating a digital dossier on your child that can be used to implement school-wide behavioral systems like PBIS, which is a form of SEL.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Contact the principals at Olive Middle School and Baldwin Park High School: ‘Regarding the 5-Star Students software (Items P.1 & P.2), what specific student data is being collected and who has access to it? Please provide the parental notification and opt-out policy for this data collection system.’
