Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Woodland Joint Unified. We found 8 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |
|
District Spending $55,888 on Social-Emotional Learning Curriculum
The district plans to spend $38,388 with “Committee for Children” for “Second Step” SEL curriculum and $17,500 with “School Connect LLC” for SEL curriculum aligned with CASEL competencies. These programs replace traditional academics with psychological programming and emotional engineering.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a direct purchase of ideological curriculum. Email the Board of Trustees (see district website for contacts): ‘I do not consent to my child being subjected to psychological programming. Pull items G.1.a.3 and G.1.a.16 from the Consent Agenda for a separate vote. Vote NO on spending tax dollars on SEL.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $55,888

District to Spend $40,000 on Universal Student Mental Health Screening
The district is renewing a $40,000 contract with Pearson Education for a “universal social-emotional learning (SEL) and mental health screener.” This program screens all students for “emotional or behavioral concerns” without direct parental consent for each screening, creating a data trail on your child and opening the door for interventions that bypass parents.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Trustees (see district website for contacts): ‘Parents must have the right to opt-in to any mental health screening for their child. Pull item G.1.a.13 from the Consent Agenda and provide the specific parental consent form before this vote. Vote NO on universal screening.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
District Proposes “Equity Grading” Policy to Detach Grades from Behavior
A draft grading policy (Item L.1) is being introduced that would prevent grades from being affected by student behavior, attendance, or late/missing work. This “equity” approach often leads to lower academic standards, removes accountability, and inflates grades, leaving students unprepared for college and the real world.
Recommended Action Plan
SIGN UP FOR PUBLIC COMMENT: This is the first look at a radical policy shift. Email the Board of Trustees (see district website for contacts): ‘Grading policies must reflect academic achievement AND personal responsibility. Do not advance the proposed “Equity Grading” policy under Item L.1. It will harm, not help, our students.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Lower Academic Standards

| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required for New Executive Director Role
Item M.1 introduces a new job description for “Executive Director, Student Support Services,” but the attachment with the details was not included in the provided documents. “Student Support Services” is often where DEI and SEL initiatives are housed.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes or ideological requirements for this new leadership role.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Trustee Proposes New “Youth Leadership Initiatives”
A future agenda item (P) requests creating “Youth Leadership Initiatives” for Middle Eastern/South Asian and African American students. These programs often become “Affinity Groups” that segregate students by race and promote divisive identity politics.
Recommended Action Plan
Monitor: This is a future item. Track the agenda to see when it is formally introduced for discussion and be prepared to speak out against any program that segregates students by race.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Student Segregation
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 2) |
|
District Adopts “Latinx” in Official Resolution
Resolution 7-27 officially recognizes “Latinx Heritage Month.” “Latinx” is a politically charged, academic term rejected by the vast majority of Hispanic and Latino Americans, but pushed by activists to de-gender the Spanish language.
Recommended Action Plan
Monitor: While a low-level concern, this shows the district is adopting ideological language. Note this for future communications with the board about staying focused on academics, not activism.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Political Jargon

Good moves worth showing up to support so they stick.

Trustee Pushes to Move Public Comment to Front of Agenda
A future agenda item (P) shows a trustee has requested moving the public comment section to the front of the meeting. This is a pro-transparency move that respects parents’ time and ensures their voices are heard before the board gets tired or the room empties.
How to Lock It In
SUPPORT THIS TRUSTEE: The agenda shows Trustee Richardson Fowler requested this change. Send an email of support to her and the full board (see district website for contacts): ‘Thank you for working to move public comment to the beginning of the meeting. We urge the full board to adopt this pro-parent, pro-transparency change.’

| Win (LEVEL 5) |
|
District Passes Resolution Supporting Constitution Week
The Board is approving Resolution 8-27 to officially recognize Constitution Week (Sept 17-23). The resolution encourages all teachers and students to study the Constitution and reflect on the rights and responsibilities of being an American.
How to Lock It In
AMPLIFY THE WIN: Send a brief, positive email to the Board of Trustees (see district website for contacts): ‘Thank you for supporting Constitution Week with Resolution 8-27. We strongly support this focus on foundational civics and American principles.’
