Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for San Luis Obispo County Office of Education. We found 6 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Mandatory Staff Training on LGBTQ+ Student Issues
The Human Resources report confirms that all certified staff are required to complete a training course titled “Preventing Bullying, Harassment, and Discrimination for LGBTQ+ Students.” This type of mandatory training often includes contested gender ideology and can instruct teachers to affirm a child’s new gender identity without parental knowledge.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND CURRICULUM REVIEW: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Parents have a right to review all staff training materials. Please provide the full curriculum for the mandatory “Preventing Bullying… for LGBTQ+ Students” course so we can ensure it does not promote withholding information from parents.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undermining Parental Guidance

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |

Board Reserves Right for Last-Minute Political Lobbying
Item 9a is a vague placeholder that allows the board to take official positions on state or federal legislation without listing the specific bills on the agenda beforehand. This allows them to use taxpayer resources to lobby for or against laws, potentially undermining parental rights, with little public scrutiny.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND SPECIFICITY: Email the County Board of Education (contact info on district website): ‘Item 9a on the agenda is an unacceptable blank check for political lobbying. We demand that any resolution on external legislation be listed as a specific, separate agenda item with the bill number included for public review.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying

District Expands Behavior Modification Program (PBIS)
The district is celebrating the expansion of its “Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports” (PBIS) program to 35 schools. This system tracks and modifies student behavior, often without direct parental oversight, and can be a vehicle for Social Emotional Learning (SEL) ideology.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND DETAILS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask: ‘Regarding the PBIS program mentioned in the Educational Support Services update, what specific student behaviors are tracked? How can parents review their child’s data, and what is the explicit opt-out process for this program?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Behavioral Data

| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |

Taxpayer-Funded Grant for “Inclusive Math” Teacher Training
The district accepted a $20,000 grant to train teachers in “Inclusive Practices for Mathematics.” This is often a euphemism for “equity math,” which can de-emphasize correct answers and academic rigor in favor of political or social objectives.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK FOR THE SYLLABUS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding the $20,000 SEED grant for “Inclusive Math” training, please provide the training materials and syllabus so parents can understand how this approach impacts core math instruction.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Lowered Academic Standards

Board Members Now Required Mandated Child Abuse Reporters
Revisions to Bylaw 9240 will now require every County Board member to receive annual training as a mandated reporter for child abuse and neglect. This holds the highest level of district governance directly accountable for protecting students.
How to Lock It In
APPLAUD AND AMPLIFY: Email the Board (contact info on district website) to strongly support Item 9f. ‘We fully support making board members trained, mandated reporters. This is a critical measure to protect our children, and we thank you for making it a requirement.’
✅ Why It Matters: Enhanced Child Safety

Board Closes Loophole on Hiding Public Business
The proposed revision to Bylaw 9012 confirms that board members’ emails and messages about district business are subject to the Public Records Act, even if sent from a personal phone or email account. This makes it harder for officials to conduct public business in secret.
How to Lock It In
SECURE THE WIN: Show up or email the Board (contact info on district website) to support Item 9d. ‘Thank you for updating Bylaw 9012 to ensure public records on personal devices are accessible. This is a crucial step for transparency, and we urge you to approve it and enforce it rigorously.’
✅ Why It Matters: Increased Accountability
