District Buys SEL Curriculum for All K-5 Schools
The Student Health Advisory Council (SHAC) report confirms the district used federal ‘Stronger Connections Grant’ funds to purchase ‘Quaver Ready Resource,’ a Social Emotional Learning (SEL) curriculum, for all four PK-5 campuses. This program replaces academics with psychological programming and was approved without a clear, public board vote.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This was revealed in Informational Report 7.A, not an action item. We must use Public Comment at the next meeting to demand the board explain this purchase. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Why was the QuaverEd SEL curriculum purchased for our elementary schools without a public board vote, and what are the parental opt-out rights?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Federal Strings Attached

New ‘Social Emotional Screening’ Tool Deployed
The SHAC report reveals the district approved and implemented ‘Alongside,’ a ‘Tier 1 Social Emotional screening tool’ for middle school students, also funded by the ‘Stronger Connections Grant.’ This program is designed to collect ‘robust data’ on students’ mental and emotional states, creating psychological dossiers on children without direct parental consent for each screening.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: This is already happening. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the “Alongside” screening tool mentioned in the SHAC report (Item 7.A), I demand to know what specific data is being collected on my child, who it is shared with, and how I can opt my child out of all SEL screening and data collection.’

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The board is set to approve all monthly bills and payments under Consent Agenda item 9.A.2, but the detailed list of vendors and amounts has not been included in the agenda packet. This makes it impossible for parents to see if taxpayer money is going to ideological consultants or controversial organizations before the vote.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached to item 9.A.2 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains the list of payments. If the vendor list is still missing, email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘I request that the detailed vendor payment list for item 9.A.2 be made public before the consent agenda is approved. Parents have a right to see where our money is being spent.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Spending

Ideological ‘Restorative Circles’ Used in Schools
The annual SHAC report casually mentions that ‘restorative circles’ were among the health and safety activities held during the last school year. ‘Restorative Practices’ often replace traditional discipline with therapy sessions, undermining consequences for actions and parental authority.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK FOR THE POLICY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘The SHAC report (Item 7.A) mentioned “restorative circles.” Please provide the official board policy governing the use of restorative practices for student discipline and the parental notification process.’

District Discontinues Costly ‘Leader In Me’ SEL Program
The SHAC report notes that the ‘Leader In Me’ program, a well-known Social Emotional Learning curriculum, has been discontinued for the 2026-27 school year, saving the district over $100,000. While this is a victory against expensive, pre-packaged ideology, parents must remain vigilant about the ‘in-house’ replacement program being developed.
How to Lock It In
AMPLIFY THE WIN: Show up to thank the Board during public comment for saving taxpayer money and removing the ‘Leader In Me’ program. Get this on the record so it can’t be quietly reversed, and ask for full parental review of its ‘Wildcat Wellness’ replacement before it is implemented.
✅ Why It Matters: $100,000+ Saved
