📅 Wednesday, September 9, 2026 to Calendar

Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Carpinteria Unified. We found 4 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.

🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8)

Vague Bylaw Changes Could Restrict Public Input

📅 September 9, 2026

The board is reviewing Bylaws 9322 (Agenda/Meeting Materials) and 9323 (Meeting Conduct). The summary for 9323 mentions promoting “orderly and efficient meetings,” which is often code for new rules that limit parents’ ability to speak freely and hold the board accountable.

Recommended Action Plan

INVESTIGATE: The attachments for Bylaws 9322 and 9323 were not included in the public packet. Email the Board (see Official Agenda link for contacts): ‘I demand the full text of the proposed Bylaws 9322 and 9323 be made public immediately. Parents will not accept any new rule that limits our right to speak at board meetings.’

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Right to Speak

👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5)

“Wellness Policy” Opens Door to Mission Creep

📅 September 9, 2026

The new district Wellness Policy, while focused on food, establishes a “coordinated school health system” that includes “psychological and counseling services.” It also adopts a ‘restorative’ approach by banning the withholding of physical activity as punishment, weakening traditional discipline.

Recommended Action Plan

DEMAND CLARITY: Email the Board (see Official Agenda link for contacts): ‘Regarding the Wellness Policy (Item D.11), what specific “psychological and counseling services” will be provided, and what is the exact parental notification and consent process before any student receives them? We need clear boundaries, not vague language.’

💰 Taxpayer Impact: School-Based Mental Health

ALERT (LEVEL 4)

District Adopts “Equity” Hiring Practices

📅 September 9, 2026

A revised policy on staff recruitment emphasizes “equity” and recruiting a “diverse pool of qualified applicants.” This signals a shift from hiring based purely on merit to prioritizing DEI ideology in personnel decisions.

Recommended Action Plan

INVESTIGATE: The attachment for the Recruitment and Selection policy (F.3) was not included. Email the Board (see Official Agenda link for contacts): ‘Please provide the full text of the revised hiring policy. The district must prioritize hiring the most qualified candidate for every position, without ideological litmus tests.’

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Ideology Over Merit

✅ Wins to Defend

Good moves worth showing up to support so they stick.

Major Win (LEVEL 9)

District Enforces Residency, Protects Taxpayers

📅 September 9, 2026

The Superintendent’s report confirms the district used a verification system to identify and remove 86 students living outside the district. This action protects local property tax dollars and ensures resources are dedicated to community children.

How to Lock It In

AMPLIFY THIS WIN: Show up or email the Board to thank Superintendent Rigby for protecting our community-funded district. Publicly praising this action makes it a standard they must uphold and a model for other districts. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and say: ‘Thank you for enforcing residency requirements and protecting our tax dollars. We fully support this commonsense policy.’

✅ Why It Matters: Protects Taxpayer Dollars
