Feds Offer ‘Student Support’ Grant; Strings Attached?
The board is voting under Item 7.3 to accept federal Title IV-A grant money under the vague labels of ‘Well-Rounded Education’ and ‘Safe and Healthy Students.’ These grants often come with strings attached, requiring the district to adopt specific social-emotional or equity programs that parents haven’t reviewed. The district has not published the actual spending plan for parents to see before the vote.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Regarding Item 7.3, I demand the Board publish the completed Federal Addendum, detailing all planned spending, for public review before voting to accept this Title IV-A grant. Parents have a right to know what ideological strings are attached to this money.’
💰 Impact: Federal Strings Attached

District Rolls Out Student Behavior & Data-Tracking System
The principal’s report for Delta Elementary confirms staff are being trained on a ‘Multi-Tiered System of Supports’ (MTSS). This is a school-wide system to monitor, label, and intervene with students for academic, behavioral, and social-emotional issues, often without specific parental consent for each step. This creates a data file on your child and can lead to interventions you know nothing about.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE HARD QUESTIONS: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Regarding the MTSS system mentioned in the Delta Elementary report, what specific social-emotional and behavioral screeners will be used? How will parents be notified and given the right to opt-out *before* any screening or Tier 2/3 intervention is applied to their child?’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Data

District Using i-Ready Software for Instruction
The Lighthouse Charter School report confirms the use of i-Ready software and its diagnostic data to group students for instruction. The district has not provided any independent, non-vendor-funded evidence that this program produces academic gains, nor has it disclosed how much daily screen time it adds. This replaces valuable time with teachers and peers with a computer program.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND EVIDENCE: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Regarding the use of i-Ready mentioned in the Lighthouse report, please publish the independent, third-party studies proving its academic effectiveness and a report on the average daily screen time this program requires per student before any renewals or expansions are considered.’
💰 Impact: Increased Screen Time

WIN: Board Votes to Keep Virtual Meeting Access for Parents
The board is voting on Consent Agenda Item 6.4 to continue allowing parents to participate in meetings via teleconferencing (Zoom). This is a victory for transparency and makes it easier for busy parents to stay informed and make their voices heard. This protects parental access to the board.
How to Lock It In
SECURE THE WIN: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details) to thank them for approving Item 6.4. ‘Thank you for continuing to allow virtual access to board meetings. This transparency is crucial for working parents and we appreciate you protecting it.’
✅ Why It Matters: Parental Access Secured
