District Adds ‘Gender Identity’ to Core Mission Statement
The Board is voting on a First Reading of Policy AA, a revision to its core ‘Philosophy and Mission.’ The new language explicitly adds ‘gender identity’ and ‘gender expression’ as protected categories, laying the legal groundwork for policies that allow schools to socially transition children without parental knowledge or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a First Reading and we can stop it now. Sign up for public comment. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Vote NO on the revisions to Policy AA, Item 7.03. Do not insert controversial gender ideology into the district’s mission statement. The district’s mission is academics, not activism.’
💰 Impact: Foundation for Secret Transitions

Board Seeks to Control Citizen Advisory Committee
Proposed changes to Policy KBA would give the Board total control over the Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC). The new rules prevent the CAC from investigating any issue without the Board’s explicit permission and use ‘diversity’ as a potential filter for selecting members, effectively silencing independent parent oversight and turning the committee into a rubber stamp.
Recommended Action Plan
PROTECT PARENT VOICE: This is a First Reading of Item 7.04. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Vote NO on the revisions to Policy KBA. The Citizen Advisory Committee must remain an independent voice for parents, not a rubber stamp for the Board. Do not restrict its ability to investigate issues freely.’
💰 Impact: Silencing Parent Oversight

District Approving ‘Student Crisis Intervention System’
The Board is set to approve a contract with a vendor named CPI for a ‘Student Crisis Prevention and Intervention System,’ hidden on the consent agenda. These systems can introduce psychological interventions and behavioral tracking that operate outside of parental consent and academic instruction, treating discipline issues as mental health problems.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item 6.06, what specific training and curriculum does the CPI Student Crisis Intervention System include? Parents must be able to review all materials and have the right to opt their children out of any psychological or behavioral interventions.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Cost

Vague ‘Computers and Devices’ Purchase on Consent Agenda
The Board is approving a purchase of ‘Computers and Peripheral Devices’ from Apple, hidden on the consent agenda (Item 6.03). The cost, number of devices, and educational justification are not disclosed in the agenda summary, preventing public scrutiny of a potentially major EdTech expansion and increase in student screen time.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the files attached to Item 6.03 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to find the total cost. DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Pull Consent Item 6.03 for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. Parents deserve to see the evidence that these devices improve academic outcomes before you approve this spending.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Cost

New AI Policy Puts ‘Equity’ Ahead of Academics
The district is introducing a new policy on Artificial Intelligence (Code DM) that requires AI tools to be monitored for ‘inequitable outcomes.’ This means technology could be chosen or rejected based on whether it produces equal results for all student groups, rather than on its proven ability to teach core subjects like reading and math effectively.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ACADEMIC FOCUS: This is a First Reading of Item 7.05. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Amend Policy DM to prioritize academic effectiveness and student achievement as the primary criteria for selecting AI tools. Technology should serve education, not social engineering.’
💰 Impact: Ideology Over Effectiveness

Vague ‘Nonpublic Placements’ on Consent Agenda
The district is approving contracts for ‘Nonpublic Placements’ without disclosing which private facilities or schools are being used, or at what cost. This lack of transparency on the consent agenda prevents parents from knowing where public money is going and what kind of environments students are being placed in.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the files attached to Item 6.05 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to identify the vendors and costs. DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Pull Consent Item 6.05 for a separate vote. The public has a right to know which nonpublic schools are receiving taxpayer funds and why.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Cost & Vendor
