Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Goleta Union Elementary. We found 10 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |
|
District Pushes “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” Initiative
The district is presenting its DEI plan, which uses language like “address institutional racism,” “educational inequities,” and “dismantle systemic obstacles.” This is the framework of Critical Race Theory, which replaces academic focus with political indoctrination and group identity.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a direct push to implement CRT/DEI ideology. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘I demand you reject any initiative based on ‘institutional racism’ or ‘dismantling systems.’ Focus on academic excellence for all students, not divisive identity politics.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Replacing Academics

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |
|
Grant Expands School-Based Behavioral Health Services
The district is extending a $245,000 grant to expand “school-linked behavioral health services.” These programs often operate without direct parental presence or consent, creating a pathway for schools to provide mental health interventions and collect sensitive data on your child.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item 8.j, what specific services will be offered under the CYBHI grant, and what are the exact procedures for written parental consent before any child is seen? We do not co-parent with the government.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Student Data Report Focuses on Group “Equity”
The student achievement report is framed around “obliterating the achievement disparities for students who identify as LatinX.” This “equity” focus shifts the goal from individual student success to equal outcomes between racial groups, often leading to lowered standards and divisive policies.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE HARD QUESTIONS: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item 7.b, the goal should be academic excellence for every single student, not engineering equal outcomes between groups. Will you commit to maintaining high standards for all, instead of pursuing a political ‘equity’ agenda?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Lowered Academic Standards
|
| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
An information item titled “Behavior, Health and Safety Update” provides no details, only referencing an attachment that was not available for review. This is a common place to hide controversial policies related to discipline (restorative practices), gender identity, or health services.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘Behavior, Health, and Safety Update- 9.9.26’ attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes on gender, discipline, or health.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Policies
|
| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
District Hires “Family Advocate” to Navigate Homes
A $40,000 grant-funded MOU with “LEAP” will hire a “family advocate” to provide “comprehensive services” and “navigate school system needs” for families. This creates a role for a school-paid advocate to get involved in family life, a potential overreach beyond the school’s academic mission.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND CLARITY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item 8.g, what are the specific ‘comprehensive services’ the LEAP family advocate will provide, and what data will they collect on families? The school’s job is education, not family intervention.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Family’s Privacy
|
| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
“School Climate Data” May Hide Student Surveys
An item on “Heat Mitigation” mentions a review of “school climate data.” This term is often a euphemism for subjective student surveys on feelings, beliefs, and home life, which can be used to justify SEL programs and collect sensitive data.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item 7.a, what does ‘school climate data’ refer to? If this involves student surveys, please provide the survey questions and the parental opt-out form immediately.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Student Data Mining
|
| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
New Policy on Responding to Immigration Enforcement
The district is updating its employee notification policy to include “procedures specifically designed to notify district staff when the school confirms the presence of immigration enforcement on the school site.” This involves the school in federal law enforcement matters, potentially turning schools into sanctuary zones.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK WHY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item 9.c, the school’s focus should be on education, not interfering with or monitoring federal law enforcement. Why is the district creating policies on immigration enforcement?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Politicizing Schools
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The board is set to approve $3.5 million in payments under “Payment of Claims” on the consent agenda. The list of vendors receiving this money is in an attachment that was not available for review, hiding who is getting taxpayer money.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file for ‘Payment of Claims’ attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether taxpayer money is going to ideological consultants or controversial vendors.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $3.5M

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

| Win (LEVEL 6) |
|
District Affirms Focus on Core Academic Materials
The board is publicly certifying that every student has sufficient instructional materials for core subjects like Math, Science, History, and English/Language Arts. The resolution transparently lists the specific curriculum being used for each subject.
How to Lock It In
AMPLIFY THIS WIN: Show up or email the Board (contact info on district website) to thank them for their transparency in Item 8.c. Publicly supporting their focus on core academics makes it harder for them to shift focus to ideological programs later.
✅ Why It Matters: Return to Academics
|
| Win (LEVEL 4) |
|
Policy Ties Student Work Permits to GPA
A revised board policy on student work permits requires students to maintain a 2.0 GPA and satisfactory school attendance. This is a common-sense policy that reinforces the principle that school is a student’s primary responsibility.
How to Lock It In
SECURE THE WIN: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Thank you for approving the revisions to BP 5113.2. Tying privileges like work permits to academic performance is exactly the kind of common-sense accountability we support.’
✅ Why It Matters: Academic Accountability
