Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Pomona Unified. We found 8 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |
|
Proposed Revisions to ‘Parent Involvement’ Policy
The board is voting on revisions to Board Policy 1260, which directly governs parent involvement. This is the most critical policy defining your rights in the district, and any change could either strengthen or severely weaken your ability to guide your child’s education.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a critical policy. Email the Board (see official agenda for contacts): ‘I demand that the proposed changes to BP 1260 on Parent Involvement be publicly read and debated, not passed silently. Do not vote to weaken parental rights.’ You must also open the file ‘Proposed BP 1260 Parent Involvement 09.09.26.pdf’ in the official agenda to see the exact changes.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Right to Know

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
Proposed Revisions to Student ‘Safety’ Policy
The board is conducting a first reading of revisions to Board Policy 5142, titled ‘Safety.’ Policies with vague titles like ‘Safety’ are often used to introduce controversial rules regarding gender identity, pronouns, and student discipline without parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (see official agenda for contacts): ‘What specific changes are being made in BP 5142 Safety? Parents must be able to review any changes related to gender identity or student privacy before a first reading.’ Open the file ‘9.9.2026 BP 5142 Safety Final.pdf’ in the official agenda to find the details.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Parental Consent

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |

Agreement with Major SEL Curriculum Provider
The district is entering a fiscal agreement with ‘Committee for Children,’ a major national vendor. This organization is the creator of the ‘Second Step’ Social Emotional Learning (SEL) curriculum, which is known to replace traditional academics with subjective, values-based instruction.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND A SEPARATE VOTE: Email the Board (see official agenda for contacts): ‘Pull Item 7.31 from the Consent Agenda. The public deserves a full debate and a roll-call vote before the district contracts with a major SEL provider like Committee for Children.’ INVESTIGATE: Open the file for Item 7.31 in the official agenda to find the contract details and cost.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Multiple Agreements with External Mental Health Providers
The board is approving fiscal agreements with at least three external providers: Pomona Community Health Center (7.48), West End Family Counseling Services (7.53), and Youth and Family Institute of Psychology (7.55). These partnerships can create pathways for school-based clinics or counseling services that operate without direct parental presence or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE HARD QUESTIONS: Email the Board (see official agenda for contacts): ‘Regarding items 7.48, 7.53, and 7.55, what specific services will be offered on campus, and what is the exact policy for parental notification and consent before a child receives any service? Provide the parental opt-out forms.’ INVESTIGATE: Open the attachments for these items in the official agenda to review the contracts.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Taxpayer-Funded Training in Behavioral Ideology
The district is spending thousands of dollars to send at least 15 staff members to the ‘California Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) Conference.’ PBIS is a system that focuses on managing student behavior to fit a collective school ‘climate’ and is closely tied to SEL and data-collection frameworks like MTSS.
Recommended Action Plan
QUESTION THE EXPENSE: Email the Board (see official agenda for contacts): ‘Regarding Item 4.03, why is the district spending over $35,000 on PBIS training instead of on core academics? Parents are concerned about the shift from academic instruction to behavioral management systems.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $35,000+

District Formalizes ‘Tiered’ Student Intervention System
Special assignments for staff (Items 4.01.B and 4.01.G) explicitly name the implementation of ‘Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS)’ and ‘Tier 2 and Tier 3 supports.’ This framework allows the district to analyze student data, label children as ‘at-risk,’ and apply interventions, often without full parental understanding or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND YOUR DATA RIGHTS: Email the Board (see official agenda for contacts): ‘Regarding the MTSS framework mentioned in Item 4.01, what specific data is collected on students, who has access to it, and what is the process for a parent to review and contest their child’s file and any assigned interventions?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Student Data Mining

| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Agreement with ‘Collaborative Classroom’ Vendor
The district is approving a fiscal agreement with the ‘Center for the Collaborative Classroom’ (Item 7.25). This name strongly suggests a focus on Social Emotional Learning (SEL) principles over traditional, teacher-led academic instruction.
Recommended Action Plan
VERIFY THIS VENDOR: Email the Board (see official agenda for contacts): ‘Please pull Item 7.25 from the Consent Agenda. Parents need to know if the Center for the Collaborative Classroom provides SEL curriculum and what the cost is.’ INVESTIGATE: Open the attachment for this item in the official agenda to review the contract.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
District Promotes ‘Community Schools’ Model
The board is issuing a proclamation for ‘Community School Practitioner Appreciation Week’ (Item 3.07). While an appreciation week seems harmless, it normalizes the ‘Community Schools’ model, which aims to make the school the center of community life by offering health and social services, potentially overstepping the role of the family.
Recommended Action Plan
MONITOR: This proclamation signals the district’s support for the Community Schools model. Watch for future agenda items that seek to fund or create these wraparound services. No immediate action required, but be aware of the strategy.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Mission Creep
