Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Tri-Cities ROP. We found 6 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Secret ‘Board Policies’ Discussion Scheduled
Item 10.1 on the agenda is an action item titled ‘Board Policies’ with the only description being ‘A discussion will be held regarding Board Policies.’ No documents are attached and no specific policies are named, making it impossible for parents to know what is being changed. This is a severe transparency violation designed to prevent public oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (see official agenda for contacts) and sign up for public comment. ‘Item 10.1, the discussion of unspecified Board Policies, is a violation of public trust. This item must be tabled until the specific policies under review are publicly posted with all supporting documents.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Parental Oversight

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
Item 8.3 asks the board to approve $895,877.48 in purchase orders for August. The detailed report, ‘Purchase Order Listing – August 2026.pdf,’ was referenced in the agenda but its contents were not provided for analysis, hiding specific vendors and purchases from easy public view.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘Purchase Order Listing – August 2026.pdf’ attached to Item 8.3 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains contracts with ideological vendors before the vote.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $895,877.48

Board Restructuring Adds Unelected Voices
Item 8.14 proposes a new policy to add two non-voting ‘Business & Industry Advisory Members’ to the board. While intended to provide workforce perspective, this change in governance structure opens the door for unelected representatives from outside organizations, including nonprofits, to influence board policy and discussion.
Recommended Action Plan
Email the Board (see official agenda for contacts): ‘Vote NO on Item 8.14. While industry input is valuable, changing the board’s structure to include unelected advisors is a governance risk. Keep the board accountable to the community it serves.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Diluted Board Accountability

| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
Item 8.7 is for the approval of a contract with Whittier Union High School District for ‘instructional services.’ The actual contract, ‘Contract wWUHSD Re Instructional Serv 26-27.pdf,’ was not provided for analysis, leaving parents in the dark about what services, curriculum, or personnel are covered.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘Contract wWUHSD Re Instructional Serv 26-27.pdf’ attached to Item 8.7 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to determine the specific nature of these ‘instructional services.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed

Purchase of Student Survey Software
Under Consent Item 8.10, the district is renewing its subscription to ‘Survey Methods,’ an online survey software. This technology can be used to conduct ‘climate and culture’ surveys that collect sensitive data on students’ beliefs, attitudes, and home life, often without meaningful parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
Email the Board (see official agenda for contacts): ‘Regarding the Survey Methods software in Item 8.10, what is this used for? Parents must have the right to review all surveys and opt their children out of any non-academic data collection.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $367.50

| ALERT (LEVEL 3) |
|
Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying Group on Payroll
Under Consent Item 8.2, the district is paying $4,650 in dues to the California School Boards Association (CSBA), a political lobbying group. This uses local education funds to support a statewide organization that often lobbies against parental rights legislation.
Recommended Action Plan
Email the Board (see official agenda for contacts): ‘Regarding Item 8.2, why are our tax dollars funding the political lobbying of the California School Boards Association? Our district should not be paying for advocacy that may oppose the interests of parents and students.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $4,650
