| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |

Consent Agenda Hides $206k ‘BIPOC’ Contract
Buried in the consent agenda, Item I.2 includes a $206,436 contract with the “BIPOC Support Foundation.” This vendor uses race-based identity categories to provide “enrichment activities” that promote SEL concepts like “student engagement” and “confidence.”
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board at board@sandi.net: ‘I demand the BIPOC Support Foundation contract (PS26-0754-45) in Consent Item I.2 be pulled for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. Why is the district spending over $200,000 on a vendor that promotes race-based programming?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $206,436

Resolution Pushes ‘Latinx/e’ Gender Ideology
Under Item C.2, the board is adopting a resolution for “National Latinx/e Heritage Month” that formally promotes the politically-charged, gender-neutral terms “Latinx” and “Latine.” The resolution also commits the district to becoming an “anti-racism” and “restorative district that centers Ethnic Studies for all.”
Recommended Action Plan
Email the Board at board@sandi.net: ‘Regarding Item C.2, the vast majority of Hispanic and Latino people do not use the term ‘Latinx.’ The school board should not be promoting politically-charged, fringe language. Please amend the resolution to use standard, respectful terminology like Hispanic or Latino.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Ideological Language

District Expands Mission to Housing Developer
Under Item H.3, the district is advancing multiple initiatives to build “affordable workforce housing” on district-owned property. This represents a major expansion of the district’s mission from education into real estate development, diverting focus and public assets away from the core mission of student instruction.
Recommended Action Plan
Email the Board at board@sandi.net: ‘Regarding Item H.3, the district’s primary mission is educating children, not acting as a housing developer. How will these complex real estate deals impact the budget and focus on academic achievement? District property should be prioritized for student needs.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Mission Creep

$150k Contract for ‘Character Education’ SEL
Item I.2 also includes a $150,000 contract with “Two by Two Character Education” for after-school programs. “Character education” is a common euphemism for Social Emotional Learning (SEL), which often replaces academic focus with subjective behavioral programming.
Recommended Action Plan
Email the Board at board@sandi.net: ‘Regarding the Two by Two Character Education contract (PS27-0186-45) in Item I.2, please provide the full curriculum for parental review. Parents need to know if this $150,000 is for academics or for SEL.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $150,000

| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |

Mental Health Month Opens Door to SEL
The board is recognizing Suicide Prevention Month, which includes plans to equip students with knowledge about mental health and build “social and emotional competencies.” While well-intentioned, these programs often serve as a trojan horse for school-based mental health services and SEL surveys that operate without direct parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the Board at board@sandi.net: ‘Regarding Item C.3, what specific curriculum will be used for suicide awareness education, and will parents have the right to review it and opt their children out? We must ensure these programs respect parental oversight.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: School-Based Mental Health

Public Funds Used for Private School Training
Item I.14 approves $42,250 in federal Title II funds to be paid as stipends for teacher professional development within the private Catholic school system (Diocese of San Diego). This raises serious questions about why public school funds are being used to train teachers in a private, religious institution.
Recommended Action Plan
Email the Board at board@sandi.net: ‘Regarding Item I.14, please explain why $42,250 in public Title II funds are being used for professional development in the private Diocese of San Diego school system. Public funds should be used to support public school teachers and students.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $42,250 (Public Funds)

Board Adopts Divisive ‘Land Acknowledgement’
The board will begin every meeting with a formal “Land Acknowledgement” statement. The official text, developed with an activist coalition, uses politically charged language like “attempted genocide” and “ongoing impacts of colonization” to frame local history.
Recommended Action Plan
Email the Board at board@sandi.net: ‘Regarding Item A.3, the Board’s focus should be on academic excellence, not on adopting divisive political statements about ‘ongoing colonization.’ Please focus on reading, writing, and arithmetic.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Political Posturing
