Vague Titles — Manual Review Required for Three Parental Rights Policies
The board is voting on changes to three critical policies: Selection of Materials (3200), Challenging Materials (3210), and Religious Exemptions (3510). These policies form the bedrock of parental rights, but the district has not included the text of the proposed changes in the agenda.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: These are critical. Open the files for Items VII.vi.b, VIII.a, and VIII.b in the Official Agenda (linked above) to see the changes. Email the Board and sign up for public comment: ‘Vote NO on any changes to policies 3200, 3210, and 3510 until parents have had at least 30 days to review the full text. Do not vote on policies the public cannot see.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your right to review curriculum

Vague Title — Manual Review Required for “Equity” Policy
The board is giving a second reading to revisions of its main “Equity” policy (Policy 1150). This policy sets the district’s entire ideological framework, but the actual text of the proposed changes is not included in the agenda packet.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file for Item VII.vi.a attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes. Email the Board: ‘The proposed changes to Equity Policy 1150 must be publicly debated, not passed on consent. Post the full text of the revised policy immediately and pull Item VII.vi.a for a full discussion.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Ideological policy shift

District to Spend $284,730 on “Cooperative Learning” Training
The board is set to approve a $284,730 contract with Kagan Publishing for teacher training. The program claims to teach “social skills” and “equitable participation,” which are often used as cover for Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and other ideological classroom management techniques.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (see official agenda for contacts): ‘I demand Consent Item VII.iv.a, the Kagan contract, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. Parents deserve to know how this training aligns with core academics, not social engineering.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $284,730

Board Chair Can Cut Off Public Comment After 30 Minutes
The agenda states that if public comment exceeds 30 minutes, the board chair has the right to stop speakers and conduct other business before hearing from the remaining parents. This rule can be used to sideline public input on controversial topics by pushing parent comments to the end of a long meeting.
Recommended Action Plan
DEFEND YOUR VOICE: Email the Board (see official agenda for contacts): ‘The 30-minute rule for public comment in Item VI is an unacceptable restriction on public input. We demand that all parents who sign up to speak are heard before the Board votes on any action items.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Silencing Parent Voices

District to Spend $120,750 on Vague Recruitment Platform
The board is approving a $120,750 contract for “NAS ACTIVATE,” a platform for “recruitment efforts and provides real-time analytics.” It is unclear what data this platform collects or if its analytics are used to enforce DEI-based hiring practices.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Email the Board (see official agenda for contacts) regarding Item VII.iii.a: ‘What specific metrics does the NAS ACTIVATE platform track? I demand you pull this from the consent agenda and provide details on how this vendor’s analytics will be used in hiring, and confirm it is not a tool for DEI quotas.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $120,750

Arts Proclamation Pushes “Identities” and “Diverse Perspectives”
An “Arts in Education Week” proclamation includes language about helping students “celebrate their identities” and “understand diverse perspectives.” While seemingly harmless, this language is often a gateway for inserting ideological concepts into non-academic subjects like art and music.
Recommended Action Plan
Monitor: This is just a proclamation, but watch for this language appearing in actual curriculum adoption for arts programs. No immediate action required.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Ideological creep into arts

| Major Win (LEVEL 8) |

District Moves to Repeal Race-Based Contracting Policies
Following a change in state law, the board is set for a final vote to repeal multiple policies that give preference to “Historically Underutilized Businesses” and “Minority Business Enterprises” in district contracts. This is a major step toward ending race-based decision-making and focusing on the best value for taxpayers.
How to Lock It In
SECURE THE WIN: Show up to thank the Board for repealing policies 6402 and 7260 (Items VII.vi.d and VII.vi.i). Publicly supporting this gets it on the record and makes it harder to reverse, setting a precedent for other districts.
✅ Why It Matters: Return to merit-based contracting
