📄 View Official Agenda
Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Richland Union Elementary. We found 2 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7)
Hidden Policy Changes on Consent Agenda
📅 Scheduled Action
The board has placed an item titled only “Board Policies” on the consent agenda, which is voted on without discussion. There is no attached document in the agenda packet explaining what policies are being changed, preventing any public review before the vote.
Recommended Action Plan

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and email the Board: ‘I demand Consent Item 4.1.8, “Board Policies,” be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. Parents deserve to know what policy changes are being approved in their name.’

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Board Oversight
NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6)
$72,500 for ‘Trauma-Informed’ Student Mentoring
📅 Scheduled Action
The district is renewing a $72,500 contract with Garden Pathways to provide “trauma-informed care” and “mentoring” for 25 students, funded by the Community Schools Grant. This brings outside providers into the school to conduct sessions on “coping skills” and “inner-healing,” blurring the line between education and therapy.
Recommended Action Plan

QUESTION THE COST & OVERSIGHT: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and email the Board: ‘Regarding Item 4.3.5, what specific curriculum will Garden Pathways use for “trauma-informed care” and what are the parental consent and opt-out procedures for this $72,500 program?’

💰 Taxpayer Impact: $72,500 (Grant Funded)
