| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |
|
District Approves $1 Million Contract for “Case Management”
The district is spending $1,015,628 for “Communities in Schools” to provide “case management” and “social-emotional development” to students. This is a massive expenditure for a third-party organization to act as a middleman between students and families, collecting sensitive data and promoting ideological content under the guise of “support.”
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This $1M contract (Item 8.06) is for a third party to manage our children. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and email the Board: ‘Vote NO on the Communities in Schools contract. We do not pay for outside groups to collect data on our children and interfere with our families. Focus on academics, not social engineering.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $1,015,628 (Student Data Mining)

District to Spend $250K on School-Based Telehealth
The district is renewing a $250,000 contract with Hazel Health to provide “mental and physical health services” to all students. This creates a school-based clinic, allowing for medical services and mental health counseling to occur without direct parental presence or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and email the Board. ‘Regarding the $250,000 Hazel Health contract (Item 8.03), what is the exact parental notification and consent policy BEFORE a child receives any service? We do not consent to school-based clinics operating without our direct involvement.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $250,000 (Parental Consent Bypass)

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
Over Half a Million Dollars for School Mental Health Services
The district is spending up to $570,080 on a contract with Kent Youth and Family Services for “behavioral health (mental health and substance abuse) services.” This program uses the “Multi-Tiered Systems of Support” (MTSS) model to provide counseling that can bypass parental oversight and introduce sensitive topics without parental knowledge.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and email the Board. ‘Regarding the $570,080 KYFS contract (Item 8.04), parents must have the right to review all materials and opt-out their children from any mental health or substance abuse counseling. What are the specific opt-out procedures?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $570,080 (Bypassing Parents)

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Board Policy Forces “Unity,” Silences Dissent
The board is adopting new rules that require all members, even those who vote ‘no,’ to publicly support and sign every decision. This creates a false appearance of unanimity and makes it harder for parents to know which board members are actually fighting for them.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and email the Board of Directors. ‘Item 1.01’s ‘Binding Support’ clause must be removed. We elected individual representatives, not a rubber stamp. We have a right to know how each member votes and why, without them being forced into silence.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Board Accountability

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
District Goals Prioritize “Global Citizens” Over Academics
Multiple agenda items (1.01, 2.01, 5.01, 6.01, and all of section 8) are explicitly tied to district goals of creating “Global Citizens” and “Equitable Systems.” This is ideological language that signals a shift away from core academic instruction towards social and political programming in the classroom.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE HARD QUESTIONS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and email the Board. ‘What specific curriculum and taxpayer funds are being used to achieve the ‘Global Citizens’ goal? Parents have a right to know how you define this and what is being taught to our children under this banner.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Focus on Academics
|
| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
“Attendance Awareness” Used to Justify Student Surveillance
The district is proclaiming “Attendance Awareness Month,” using the term “chronic absence” as a justification for increased monitoring. This language is often the first step toward implementing invasive data tracking systems or home visits for families whose children miss school, even for excused reasons.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE HARD QUESTIONS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask the Board: ‘Regarding the ‘Attendance Awareness’ proclamation (Item 4.02), what specific data is being collected on ‘chronic absenteeism,’ who has access to it, and what is the district’s policy on home visits for attendance issues?’
