District Seeks $30M Grant to Turn Schools into Social Service Hubs
The district is applying for a $30 million federal “Promise Neighborhood” grant. This grant funds a “community schools” model that integrates social services, health services, and extensive data collection directly into schools, potentially without direct parental consent for every service offered to a child.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This $30M grant is a plan to turn our schools into data-mining social service hubs. Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘I oppose the Promise Neighborhood grant. Schools must focus on academics, not become arms of the welfare state. Vote NO.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $30M (Federal Strings Attached)

District Pursues $500k Grant for “Student Support” Infrastructure
The district is applying for a $500,000 grant from the progressive Nellie Mae Education Foundation to build “student support services infrastructure.” This involves bringing in outside groups like the Great Schools Partnership to conduct “audits” of the district, which often leads to implementing SEL and DEI programs.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘What specific “audits” will be performed under the Nellie Mae grant, and who is the Great Schools Partnership? Parents must be able to review the grant application and any strings attached before you accept this money.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $500,000 (Ideological Strings)

“Literacy” Program Expands Student Intervention System
The board is amending a contract with HILL for Literacy for $7,200 to expand its program to grades 6-12. This isn’t just about reading; it establishes a K-12 “Steering Committee” to implement a “tiered literacy framework” using “MTSS design principles,” a system often used to deliver SEL and behavioral interventions without parental knowledge.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: This $7,200 amendment isn’t about books, it’s about building a system to track and intervene with our kids. Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘What specific non-academic data will be collected under the MTSS framework in the HILL for Literacy contract? Parents must consent to any behavioral or psychological interventions.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Student Data & Interventions

Report Confirms SEL Lessons in Summer School
A report on the 2026 summer school program confirms that “Daily Social-Emotional Learning lessons” were part of the academic design for K-3 students. This shows Social Emotional Learning is an established part of the district’s curriculum, replacing valuable academic time.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘The Summer Programming Report confirms daily SEL. What is the district’s official SEL curriculum, and what is the process for parents to review all materials and opt their children out of these lessons during the regular school year?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Lost Academic Time
