Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Solvang Elementary. We found 6 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
Adopting Undisclosed CSBA Policies
Item 9.6 asks the board to approve an unspecified set of new Board Policies from the California School Boards Association (CSBA). CSBA is known for promoting controversial policies on gender identity, DEI, and SEL, which could be adopted here without any public review of the text.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is how radical policies are passed quietly. Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Item 9.6, Approval of Board Policies, must be tabled. Parents demand to see the full text of every proposed policy from CSBA with a 30-day review period before any vote.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Loss of Parental Rights

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Payment for Psychological/SEL Assessments
The district paid $3,950 to Multi-Health Systems Inc (MHS), a major publisher of psychological and social-emotional assessments for students. This suggests the district may be conducting mental health or SEL screenings on children, often without full parental consent or review.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: This payment was hidden in the ‘Commercial Warrants’ list. Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding the $3,950 payment to Multi-Health Systems Inc, what specific assessments are being purchased? I demand to review these materials and know the exact opt-out process for any psychological or SEL screening of my child.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $3,950
|
| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Student Digital Surveillance Software
The district paid $6,097.60 to Securly, Inc., a company that provides software to monitor students’ online activity on school devices. This creates a digital file on your child’s behavior and searches, raising significant privacy concerns.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding the payment to Securly, Inc., what specific data is being collected on students, who has access to it, and how long is it stored? Provide the parental consent and opt-out policy for this digital surveillance.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $6,097.60
|
| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Behavioral Intervention Training
The district paid $1,445.96 to the Crisis Prevention Institute and held multiple “Non-Violent Crisis Intervention” trainings for staff. This type of training is often a gateway to “Restorative Practices” that handle student discipline internally, bypassing parental notification.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding the CPI training, does the district use “Restorative Practices” for discipline? I insist on my right to be immediately notified of any disciplinary or behavioral incident involving my child.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $1,445.96
|
| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Unspecified Payment to Activist Group
The district paid $13,461 to the United Way of Santa Barbara County for an unspecified purpose. United Way often funds “community schools” or “whole child” initiatives that can bring outside social services and ideologies into the school without direct parental oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link): ‘What is the purpose of the $13,461 payment to United Way under warrant #01-914583? Parents have a right to know if this is funding programs with ideological strings attached.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $13,461.00
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
Item 8.6 on the Consent Agenda approves a $56,726.62 proposal from APEX IT & Security Inc for more Verkada security cameras. The proposal document itself was not included in the agenda attachments, preventing review of the full scope of student monitoring.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm the full scope of student monitoring. While security is important, parents need to know the details before a vote.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $56,726.62
