Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for COLLIER. We found 5 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
“Resiliency Education” as a Trojan Horse for SEL
Policy 2215 introduces a mandatory “Resiliency Education” program for grades 6-12. While framed as building character, the curriculum focuses on Social Emotional Learning (SEL) concepts like “self-awareness,” “self-management,” and “responsible decision-making,” shifting focus from academics to subjective emotional training.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: This is a ‘First Read’ so we have time to act. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link for details) and ask: ‘Regarding Item C386, Policy 2215, what specific curriculum will be used for “Resiliency Education”? Parents must be able to review all materials before this SEL-based program is approved.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Replacing Academics with Social Engineering

“Gender Identity” Added to Staff Nondiscrimination Policy
Policy 3362 adds “gender identity” as a protected class for district staff. While the policy also includes protections against compelling belief in divisive concepts, codifying “gender identity” opens the door to conflicts over pronouns, bathroom access, and classroom discussions that violate parental rights.
Recommended Action Plan
FLAG FOR REVIEW: This is a ‘First Read.’ Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link for details) and ask: ‘Regarding Item C396, Policy 3362, the term “gender identity” is undefined and controversial. How will the district balance this new staff protection with the fundamental rights of parents and the safety of students?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Ideological Litigation Risk

| ALERT (LEVEL 3) |

Policy on Federal Funds Opens Door to Strings-Attached Grants
Policy 6110 outlines the procedures for managing federal funds. While the policy itself is administrative, it sets the stage for accepting federal grants that often come with ideological strings attached, such as mandates for specific DEI/SEL curricula or data-sharing requirements.
Recommended Action Plan
MONITOR: This policy (Item C404) is the vehicle for accepting federal money. We need to watch future agendas for the specific grants the district applies for and accepts under this policy.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Federal Strings Attached

District Strengthens Parental Consent for Student Names
The revised Policy 8330 on Student Records now explicitly requires a completed parental consent form for a student to be referred to by any name other than their legal name. This is a crucial protection that prevents the district from socially transitioning a child or using a different name without parental knowledge and approval.
How to Lock It In
SECURE THE WIN: Show up to the meeting on September 16th to thank the Board for Policy 8330 (Item C408). Publicly praise this specific language requiring parental consent for name changes. This gets them on the record and makes it a model policy for other districts.
✅ Why It Matters: Strengthened Parental Rights

New Policy Strengthens Oversight of Parent Groups
The new Policy 9215 for School Support Organizations (like PTAs and booster clubs) institutes strong financial transparency and governance rules. It prevents district staff from controlling these parent-led groups by prohibiting them from serving as treasurer or being the sole signatory on checks, ensuring these organizations remain accountable to parents.
How to Lock It In
AMPLIFY THIS WIN: At the meeting, thank the Board for adopting Policy 9215 (Item C413). This policy protects parent groups from staff takeover and ensures financial accountability. This is a model for other districts where booster clubs have become slush funds.
✅ Why It Matters: Parent-Led Accountability
