| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |

Undisclosed ‘Social Media Standards’ Proposed
The agenda lists a discussion on “Social Media Standards” under item 5.E without providing any draft policy or explanation. This lack of transparency is concerning, as such policies can be used to limit parents’ free speech rights to criticize the district online or impose new rules on students without public review.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Board (see district website for contact info): ‘The agenda for Item 5.E, “Social Media Standards,” provides no details. I demand that any proposed policy be made public for parental review before any discussion takes place. What is being hidden from parents?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Parental Free Speech

Vague Pre-K Partnership — Manual Review Required
The district plans to provide free classroom space to an external organization, LifeSpan, for a state-funded Pre-K program. The governing Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that details curriculum and oversight was not included in the public packet, preventing parental review.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The Memorandum of Understanding for Item 5.G was not provided. Open the file named ‘LifeSpan_PKC 2026-27 MOU_Aug 13 2026’ in the official agenda (linked above) to see the terms. Email the Board: ‘What curriculum will LifeSpan be using for the Pre-K Counts program, and what oversight will the district have? Parents must be able to review the curriculum before this agreement is approved.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Unvetted Curriculum

Gateway to SEL: ‘School Climate’ Discussion
The administration is holding a discussion on “School Climate.” This term is frequently used as a justification for introducing Social Emotional Learning (SEL) programs and student surveys that can collect sensitive data on children’s attitudes, beliefs, and home life.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS NOW: This is a discussion, so no vote will be taken, but it’s critical to get on the record early. Contact the Board (see district website for contact info): ‘Regarding Item 5.A, what specific “School Climate” initiatives are being considered? Will any new student surveys be introduced, and will parents have the right to review them and opt their children out beforehand?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Student Data Privacy

District Prioritizes ‘Structured Literacy’
The board is reviewing its implementation of “Structured Literacy,” an evidence-based approach to reading instruction rooted in the science of reading. This is a significant positive step toward prioritizing foundational academic skills over ideological trends in education.
How to Lock It In
AMPLIFY THIS WIN: Show up or email the Board to thank them for focusing on the science of reading. Public support encourages them to stay the course. ‘Thank you for prioritizing proven, evidence-based reading instruction under Item 5.F. This focus on academics is exactly what our children need.’
✅ Why It Matters: Return to Academics
