Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Oceanside Unified. We found 10 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
DEI Dept. Spending $70k on ‘Surf Therapy’
The board is ratifying a $69,748 contract with ‘Un Mar de Colores’ for ‘eco-therapy’ and ‘surf therapy’ for pregnant, parenting, foster, and homeless students. This program, managed by the Executive Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, is a classic example of using ‘mental health’ as a cover to provide unregulated, ideologically-driven services to vulnerable children without direct parental oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: This is on the Consent Agenda (Item E.30). Email the Board (see official agenda for contacts): ‘Pull Item E.30 from the Consent Agenda. Parents deserve a public discussion on why the DEI department is spending $70,000 on surf therapy instead of proven academic support.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $69,748 (Medi-Cal Funds)

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
District Adopting Sanctuary School Policies
Policy revisions (BP 0410 and 5145.6) explicitly prohibit the district from collecting or disclosing information on the immigration status of students and families, and require only notifying parents *after* immigration enforcement has been on campus. This turns our schools into sanctuaries, potentially obstructing law enforcement and creating unknown safety risks by limiting cooperation with federal authorities.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE HARD QUESTIONS: Email the Board (see official agenda for contacts) regarding Items I.1 and I.2: ‘What is the district’s liability for adopting policies that may obstruct federal law enforcement? Parents need to know what safety risks these new sanctuary policies create for our children.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: School Safety & Liability

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
SEL & DEI Injected into After-School Programs
The district is approving plans (Items E.19, E.20) for its ‘Thrive’ before and after-school programs that are explicitly built on Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Restorative Practices, and Diversity, Access, and Equity. This expands ideological programming beyond the school day into enrichment time, paid for by state and federal grants (ELO-P, ASES) with strings attached.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ACADEMIC FOCUS: Email the Board (see official agenda for contacts): ‘Regarding the Thrive Expanded Learning plan, after-school programs should focus on academic recovery and genuine enrichment, not social engineering. I urge you to reject plans that embed SEL and DEI ideologies into these programs.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Federal/State Strings Attached
|
| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Board Severely Limiting Public Comment Time
The agenda guidelines state that total public comment time for all non-agenda items will be limited to just 20 minutes for the entire community. Comments on agenda items are also limited to 20 minutes per topic. This is a deliberate tactic to silence parents and rush controversial items through without adequate public input.
Recommended Action Plan
DEFEND YOUR RIGHT TO SPEAK: Sign up for public comment to protest the time limits. Email the Board (see official agenda for contacts): ‘The 20-minute total time limit for public comment is an unacceptable restriction on parental speech. We demand you respect our right to be heard and remove these arbitrary limits.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Parental Voice

| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The board is approving a Memorandum of Understanding with Cal State San Marcos for a ‘CTE Child Development’ course (Item E.26). The attachment detailing the curriculum and partnership agreement was not included in the agenda packet.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes. ‘Child Development’ courses can often be a vehicle for introducing controversial gender and family ideology to students.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Curriculum
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The board is ratifying the district’s warrant list (Item E.4), which details all expenditures. The backup attachment listing the specific payments and vendors was not included in the agenda packet.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes. This is a routine item, but it’s crucial to check for payments to ideological consultants or controversial vendors.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Spending
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 2) |
|
Affinity Group Club Approved for High School
The board is approving the charter for a ‘Black Student Union (BSU)’ club at Oceanside High School. While student clubs are normal, this falls under the category of an ‘affinity group,’ which can sometimes promote division and political activism.
Recommended Action Plan
Monitor: Track for future scope creep; no immediate action required. Parents at the high school should be aware and monitor the club’s activities for any signs of political activism or exclusionary practices.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Potential for Activism

✅ Wins to Defend
Good moves worth showing up to support so they stick.
|
| Major Win (LEVEL 10) |
|
Parental Opt-Out for Religious Beliefs Codified
The district is updating its Parent Notification policy to include a recent court decision (Mahmoud v. Taylor) that affirms a parent’s right to opt their child out of instructional content that ‘substantially interferes with religious development.’ This is a major victory that formally recognizes a parent’s right to shield their child from classroom materials that violate their faith.
How to Lock It In
PACK THE ROOM TO SUPPORT: This is a critical win. Show up to thank the Board for codifying this right. Email the Board (see official agenda for contacts): ‘I strongly support the revision to Policy 5145.6 recognizing the Mahmoud v. Taylor decision. Thank you for protecting the religious freedom of families in our district.’ This creates a public record and makes it harder to reverse.
✅ Why It Matters: Strengthened Parental Rights
|
| Major Win (LEVEL 9) |
|
New Policy Prohibits Political Bias in Classroom
A revision to the district’s nondiscrimination policy (BP 0410) now explicitly prohibits teachers from giving instruction that ‘promotes a discriminatory bias’ and requires that all instructional materials be ‘factually accurate’ and not based on ‘advocacy, personal opinion, bias, or partisanship.’ This provides parents a powerful new tool to demand neutrality and academic focus in the classroom.
How to Lock It In
AMPLIFY THIS WIN: Email the Board (see official agenda for contacts): ‘I fully support the adoption of the new language in BP 0410 based on AB 715. We expect this policy to be strictly enforced to remove political agendas from our classrooms.’ We must get this on the record and use it to hold them accountable.
✅ Why It Matters: Accountability for Teachers
|
| Win (LEVEL 6) |
|
Parental Right to Opt-Out of Psych Tests Affirmed
The updated Parent Notification policy (BP 5145.6) reinforces the district’s duty to notify parents before administering any psychological test to their child and clarifies the parent’s right to opt-out. This is a good, clear protection of parental consent rights that we need to ensure is followed.
How to Lock It In
SECURE THE WIN: Email the Board (see official agenda for contacts): ‘Thank you for strengthening the parental notification and opt-out rights for psychological testing in Policy 5145.6. We expect all schools to be trained on and to fully comply with this important policy.’
✅ Why It Matters: Strengthened Parental Consent
