Committee Formed to Push Future Bond Debt
The board is voting to create a “Citizens Facility Advisory Committee.” These committees are frequently used to rubber-stamp the administration’s desired projects, creating the appearance of public support for a massive bond package that will raise property taxes.
Response
DEMAND A FAIR PROCESS: Email the board before the meeting. ‘Regarding Item 5.J, the Citizens Facility Advisory Committee must represent taxpayers, not just serve as a rubber stamp for a pre-planned bond. What is the process for ensuring fiscal conservatives are appointed to this committee?’
💰 Impact: Future Property Tax Hikes

Secret Appointments to Health Council (SHAC)
The board is approving appointments to the School Health Advisory Council (SHAC), which influences sensitive curriculum on topics like health and sex education. The list of who is being appointed is not included in the agenda, preventing public review before the vote.
Response
DEMAND THE LIST: Email the board to pull Item 5.C from the Consent Agenda. ‘Parents have a right to know who you are appointing to the SHAC. Please release the list of proposed members to the public before any vote is taken.’
💰 Impact: Lack of Parental Oversight

Vague Budget Amendment Hides Spending
The board plans to amend the budget for the entire first quarter. This is being passed under the Consent Agenda with no public details on what spending is being increased or what programs are being changed.
Response
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the board and demand Item 5.H be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a full presentation. ‘Taxpayers deserve to see a detailed breakdown of the First Quarter Budget Amendment before you vote on it.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending Increases

New Library Book List Lacks Transparency
The board is set to approve a new list of school library materials under the Consent Agenda. However, the actual list of books is not attached, preventing parents from reviewing the materials their children will have access to before they are approved.
Response
DEMAND TO SEE THE BOOKS: Email the board to pull Item 5.B from the Consent Agenda. ‘Parents must be able to review the proposed library book list before it is approved. Please publish the full list immediately.’
💰 Impact: Bypassing Parental Review

New Student Surveillance Tool Purchased
Under a generic “District Purchases” item, the board is approving “SchoolStatus Communication Tools.” While framed as simple communication, these platforms can include behavior and attendance tracking, creating a digital dossier on students without clear parental oversight on data privacy.
Response
ASK ABOUT DATA PRIVACY: Email the board regarding Item 5.G.(2). ‘What specific student data will SchoolStatus collect, who will it be shared with, and what are the parental opt-out policies? This contract should not be approved until these questions are answered publicly.’
💰 Impact: Student Data Harvesting
