| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |
|
District to Vote on Entire Budget Without Public Review
Item 8.A calls for the approval of the entire 2026-2027 proposed budget for publication. This is one of the most important votes of the year, yet the budget document itself was not attached to the agenda for parents to review beforehand.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a major transparency failure. The board is voting on the entire budget without showing it to the public first. Go to the meeting and during public comment on Item 8.A, demand the vote be postponed until the full budget is posted online for at least 72 hours for public review.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Spending

District Buys Behavioral and Psychological Screening System
A payment to vendor Pearson for a ‘BASC-4 Q-Global Complete Kit’ was found in the bill list under Item 5.A. This is a behavioral and psychological screening system used to collect data on students, which can be used to build profiles on your child without full parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the Pearson BASC-4 purchase under Item 5.A, what is the district’s policy for parental notification and explicit consent before any student is subjected to this psychological screening? Provide the opt-out form immediately.’

Over $85,000 in Vague ‘Professional Learning’ Contracts
The district is paying CESA 6 over $85,000 for ‘High Impact Instructional Practices’ and ‘Literacy Coaching’ (Item 5.A). These vague terms are often used to introduce Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and equity-focused pedagogy into the classroom, replacing core academics.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the CESA 6 payments in the August bills under Item 5.A, what specific curriculum and training materials are being purchased with this $85,000? Parents have a right to review all professional development materials before they are used to train our teachers.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $85,000+

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
Item 6.B announces that ‘Administrative Guidelines and Technical Corrections’ will be processed for board policy. This vague language can be used to hide significant policy changes from parents, but no document was attached for review.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes. If no file is attached to Item 6.B, email the board: ‘What specific policy changes are being made under the guise of “technical corrections” in Item 6.B? Parents demand a red-lined version of all changes before they are processed.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Board Oversight
|
| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The agenda lists ‘Approve the Financial Statements for June 2026’ under Item 5.C, but the referenced documents were not included in the provided materials. These reports detail district revenue and spending and must be reviewed for transparency.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the files attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to review district spending. Specifically, look at ‘JUNE 2026 DETAILED REVENUE.pdf’ and ‘JUNE 2026 REVENUE AND EXPENSE SUMMARY.pdf’ under Item 5.C.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Financial Transparency

District Spends $1,750 on ‘Crisis Intervention’ Training
The district paid the Crisis Prevention Institute for ‘Nonviolent Crisis Intervention’ workbooks (Item 5.A). This type of training is often a gateway to ‘Restorative Practices’ that can reduce consequences for disruptive behavior and undermine classroom discipline.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the Crisis Prevention Institute payment under Item 5.A, how does this training align with the district’s student discipline policy? We are concerned about programs that reduce accountability for misbehavior.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $1,749.50

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
District Taking a Stance on School Vouchers
The administrator update under Item 9.B mentions a ‘Voucher resolution.’ This suggests the district may be using taxpayer resources and its official position to lobby on external school choice legislation, which is a political issue.
Recommended Action Plan
Monitor: During the administrator update for Item 9.B, listen carefully for the district’s official position on the voucher resolution. Is the district supporting or opposing school choice? This will determine future action.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying
