| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
District Seeks Waiver to Reduce Classroom Spending
The district is applying for an exemption from the state requirement to spend at least 60% of its budget on classroom teacher salaries, admitting it only spent 47.03% last year. This means a smaller share of tax dollars is going directly to your child’s teacher and more is being spent on administration or other services.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: Demand the Board explain why only 47% of the budget is going to classroom compensation. Contact the Superintendent’s office at 661-944-2155 and tell the Board: ‘Vote NO on the CEA waiver in Item 15d. Our tax dollars must be prioritized for teachers in the classroom, not bureaucracy.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Less Money for Teachers

$31,500 for Vague Teacher ‘Professional Development’
The board is approving a $31,500 contract with the ‘California Foundation for History Education’ for teacher training. The description is vague, using buzzwords like ‘High-Impact Strategies,’ which can sometimes be a cover for ideological training like Critical Race Theory or ‘anti-racism.’
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Call the Superintendent’s office at 661-944-2155: ‘Regarding Item 15f, I request that the full training materials from the California Foundation for History Education be provided for public review before this $31,500 contract is approved. Parents have a right to know what our teachers are being taught.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $31,500

Undisclosed Partnership with University of La Verne
The board is approving a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the University of La Verne, but the document detailing the partnership’s purpose and scope was not included in the public agenda packet. These partnerships can introduce ideological teacher training programs or student curriculum without proper vetting.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file for Item 15o attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm what this partnership entails. Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Table the vote on Item 15o until the full MOU with the University of La Verne is made public for parental review.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Partnership Terms

| ALERT (LEVEL 3) |
|
Vague Personnel and Spending Reports on Consent Agenda
The board plans to approve new hires, personnel changes, and a month of purchase orders without discussion by bundling them into the Consent Agenda. The actual reports detailing who is being hired and what was purchased were not included in the public packet for review.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the files for Items 13a, 13b, and 13c in the Official Agenda (linked above) to check for controversial hires or vendors. This is a routine check for transparency.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Board Oversight
