Ideological Policies Coming Soon to the Board
The “Future Agenda Items” list reveals a slate of highly controversial policies the board is preparing to introduce. These include a “Climate Resolution,” an “Anti-Racism Resolution,” and a new policy on “Sexual Health and HIV/AIDS Prevention Instruction,” all of which are common vehicles for radical ideology in schools.
Recommended Action Plan
PREPARE FOR BATTLE: This is our early warning. The board is planning to push ‘Anti-Racism’ (CRT), ‘Climate,’ and ‘Sexual Health’ policies. Chapter leaders must start researching these topics now and prepare members to pack the room when these items appear on a future action agenda. This is a preview of their entire playbook.

Massive Contract for “Behavior Consulting”
The board is set to approve an $84,000 amendment to a contract with Aspire Behavior Consulting, bringing the total to a staggering $649,400. This money is for “behavior support and supervision,” which often involves psychological assessments and interventions that should be a parent’s domain.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: Email the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact details) and sign up for public comment: ‘Regarding Item N.4, why is the district spending over $649,000 on an outside behavior consultant? What specific interventions are being used on students, and what are the parental notification and consent policies for these services?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $649,400

Charter School Renewal Embeds SEL and MTSS
The board is holding a hearing to renew Lighthouse Charter School. The school’s own renewal documents confirm that “Social-Emotional Learning (SEL)” and a “Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS)” are integral to its program, including “social emotional instruction for all students.” This means the district is being asked to approve a charter that explicitly prioritizes SEL alongside academics.
Recommended Action Plan
ATTEND THE HEARING: This is the public’s chance to question the charter school’s focus on SEL and MTSS. Sign up for public comment and ask the board: ‘Why is the district authorizing a charter that explicitly embeds Social-Emotional Learning and behavioral interventions into its core program instead of focusing purely on academic excellence?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: SEL in the Classroom

“Community Schools” Grant Funds Social Services
The district is spending $84,500 from a “Community Schools Implementation Grant” for a food bank partnership. This program is framed as part of a “wraparound offerings” initiative run by the Director of “Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI),” turning schools into centers for social services beyond academics.
Recommended Action Plan
QUESTION THE MISSION: Email the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact details): ‘Regarding Item M.3.a, why is the school district using ‘Community Schools’ grants to become a social services provider? The school’s primary mission is academic education, not operating as a food bank.’

Taxpayer-Funded “Student Leadership” Trip
The district plans to spend $21,175 for 28 middle schoolers to attend a “Student Leaders” conference. The trip, organized by the Director of EDI, aims to “shape school culture,” which often means training student activists for the district’s social and political agenda.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND CURRICULUM REVIEW: Email the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact details): ‘Regarding Item N.5, please provide the full agenda and all materials for the California Association of Student Leaders conference. Parents have a right to know what ideologies are being taught to students on this $21,175 taxpayer-funded trip.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $21,175

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
“Equity” Language Used to Justify Salary Changes
The district is adjusting a salary to “promote equitable compensation” and align with its “commitment to equity” and LCAP Goal #4, “Elimination of Disproportionalities.” This shows how “equity” is being embedded as a core principle in the district’s financial and operational decisions, not just in the classroom.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE BOARD: Email the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact details): ‘Regarding Item M.2.f, why is the district using the ideological concept of ‘equity’ to justify salary decisions? Compensation should be based on role, responsibility, and market rates, not on fulfilling an ‘equity’ agenda.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: “Equity” as a Guiding Principle

| ALERT (LEVEL 2) |
|
Board Opens with Indigenous Land Acknowledgment
The board opens the meeting with a formal “Land Acknowledgment” statement that describes the district’s mission as providing an “equitable” institution. While largely ceremonial, this language sets an ideological tone and can be used to justify future DEI policies.
Recommended Action Plan
Monitor: This is currently a symbolic gesture, but watch for this language to be used to justify future ‘equity’ or ‘anti-racism’ curriculum changes. No immediate action required.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Ideological Framing
