Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for San Diego County Office of Education. We found 6 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |
|
$25 Million Trojan Horse for School-Based Health Services
Under the guise of “Community Schools,” the board is accepting a $25 million grant for the “HeartSpire Initiative.” This program aims to integrate “health, behavioral health, and community-based services” directly into schools, creating a pathway for services that bypass parental consent and oversight. A staggering $13.1 million is designated for undisclosed “subcontractors.”
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a critical threat to parental rights. Email the Board (see Official Agenda link): ‘Vote NO on the $25M HeartSpire Initiative in Item 5.g. We do not co-parent with the government, and we will not allow school-based clinics to operate without our consent. Who are the $13.1M in subcontractors?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $25,000,000 (Strings Attached)

District Adopts ‘Belonging’ and ‘Equity’ as Core Mission
The district’s new Strategic Plan, presented under item 2.e, shifts the focus from academic achievement to subjective social metrics. The plan’s primary goals are to “foster belonging,” “inclusivity,” and “equity,” with a target for students to report an increased “sense of belonging at school.”
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details). Ask: ‘Regarding the Strategic Plan in Item 2.e, how will the district measure academic proficiency, not just feelings of belonging? We expect the district’s primary mission to be academic excellence.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Focus on Activism, Not Academics

Charter Renewal Regulations Add Demographic Quotas
Item 9.a updates the rules for renewing charter schools. The new regulations will judge charters based on how well their student racial and ethnic demographics align with the county’s, using a “Weighted Alignment Index.” This injects equity politics into what should be an academic and operational decision, potentially punishing successful schools that don’t meet a demographic quota.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK HARD QUESTIONS: Contact the Board (see Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding AR 0310.4, why is the board judging charter schools on their demographic makeup instead of their academic success and safety? Schools should be rewarded for performance, not for meeting racial quotas.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Demographic Quotas for Schools

Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying Report
The Legislative Update in item 9.b is a report from a paid lobbyist detailing the status of various state bills. This is confirmation that local tax dollars are being used to pay for political lobbying and influence operations in Sacramento, which may or may not align with the interests of local parents and taxpayers.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Board (see Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding the Legislative Update in Item 9.b, how much are we paying this firm annually, and what is the process for determining the board’s official position on these bills? Parents deserve to know how their money is being spent on political activities.’

District Adopts Resolution Honoring Constitution Week

The resolution text emphasizes the importance of the Constitution in protecting individual rights and the role of public education in preparing students for engaged, responsible citizenship.
How to Lock It In
AMPLIFY THE WIN: Show up or email the Board to thank them for adopting the Constitution Week resolution (Item 5.i). Publicly praising this gets it on the record and makes it a model for other districts to follow.

WIN: State Bill to Limit Take-Home Devices for K-TK Noted
The Legislative Update (Item 9.b) contains valuable intelligence on SB 1128, a proposed state law that would prohibit schools from requiring Kindergarten and TK students to take home school-issued electronic devices. This is a significant win for parents concerned about excessive screen time for our youngest learners and a great piece of legislation for chapters to support.
How to Lock It In
SUPPORT & AMPLIFY: This isn’t a board vote, but it’s key intel. Use this information to contact your state legislators and urge them to support SB 1128 to protect young children from mandatory take-home screen time.
✅ Why It Matters: Protecting Young Children
