Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for San Gabriel Valley Regional Occupational Program. We found 4 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
$150,000 Contract to Unverified Vendor “Career Launch Path”
Buried in the purchase order list (Item 8.D.3) is a $150,000 payment to a vendor called “Career Launch Path” with the vague description “MOU.” Parents have a right to know what services this vendor provides and whether they align with academics or a social agenda.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and demand that Purchase Order PO1-40154-0000000-270000000054-1-New for ‘Career Launch Path’ be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and vote. Ask the board: ‘What specific services will be rendered for this $150,000 and can you provide the full text of the Memorandum of Understanding for public review?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $150,000

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |

Financial Report Flags High Administrative Spending
The district’s own financial audit documents (Item 9.D.1) flag an unusually high “indirect cost rate” of 13.88%, far exceeding the normal range of 2-9%. This is a strong signal that an excessive amount of money is being spent on administrative overhead instead of directly on student instruction and classroom needs.
Recommended Action Plan
FOLLOW THE MONEY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask the Board: ‘Regarding the Unaudited Actuals report (Item 9.D.1), why is the district’s indirect cost rate so far above the state average? Please provide a plan to reduce administrative bloat and redirect those funds to the classroom.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Classroom Funding

District Seeks “Complete Ownership” of Your Child’s Image
The district is asking parents to sign a new Photo Release form under Consent Item 8.B.2. While it includes an opt-out, signing “yes” grants the district “complete ownership” of your child’s name and image to be used for “any purpose,” a massive transfer of parental rights.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND CLARITY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask: ‘Regarding Consent Item 8.B.2, why does the district require “complete ownership” of a student’s image? Please revise the form to limit the usage to specific, school-related promotional purposes only.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Likeness

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |

Board to Vote on Paying Trustees for Missed Meeting
Under Action Item 9.A.1, the Board will vote to pay two trustees for the August 20th meeting they did not attend, citing “hardship.” This raises questions about the stewardship of taxpayer funds and accountability for elected officials.
Recommended Action Plan
QUESTION THE PRECEDENT: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask the Board: ‘Regarding Item 9.A.1, what constitutes a “hardship” that justifies payment for a missed meeting? We expect our elected officials to be present to do the people’s business.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Taxpayer Funds
