District Developing New ‘Screen Time’ and Ed Tech Policy
The Board is holding a workshop (Item 4.1) to define “screen time” and develop new policies around educational technology. This is a critical moment where policies on student health, data privacy, and the software used in classrooms will be shaped, often without sufficient parental input.
Recommended Action Plan
SHAPE THE POLICY: This is a workshop, not a final vote. Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info) to get ahead of the policy being discussed in Item 4.1: ‘As you discuss screen time and Ed Tech policy, I urge you to prioritize parental consent for all software, full data transparency, and firm limits on non-academic screen time. Parents must be partners in these decisions.’

Written Public Comments Will Not Be Read Aloud
The district’s policy under item 3.2 states that written public comments will be submitted to the Board but will not be read aloud during the meeting. This practice reduces the public impact of parents who cannot attend in person, effectively silencing their concerns from the public record.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TO BE HEARD: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding the public comment protocol in Item 3.2, I urge you to read all submitted written comments aloud. Not all parents can attend in person, and their voices deserve to be heard publicly, not just filed away in the minutes.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Public Voice

Unvetted Consultant Leading Board Governance Workshop
The Board is holding a workshop on its own governance and policies, facilitated by Gary Rutherford of Education Support Services Group (ESS). Without knowing the background or potential ideological leanings of this consultant, parents cannot be sure what governance “best practices” will be recommended to the board.
Recommended Action Plan
VERIFY THE VENDOR: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding the workshop in Item 4.1, who is consultant Gary Rutherford and the Education Support Services Group? Please provide a copy of their contract and materials so parents can understand the perspective they are bringing to our district’s policy discussions.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Consultant Fee
