New ‘Civility’ Policy Could Silence Parents
The Board is introducing a new ‘Civility’ policy (BP 1313) that could be used to limit public comment at meetings. Vague terms like ‘civil behavior’ and ‘hinder the orderly conduct’ can be subjectively interpreted by the board to shut down parents who speak passionately or critically about district policies.
Recommended Action Plan
PROTECT OUR VOICE: This is a First Reading. Email the Board (see the Official Agenda link): ‘I oppose the proposed Civility Policy BP 1313. Do not adopt policies that can be used to silence parental concerns under the guise of ‘civility.”

Activist Group ‘The Trevor Project’ to Be Promoted on All Student IDs
A proposed update to the Child Abuse Prevention policy (BP 5141.4) mandates printing The Trevor Project’s LGBTQ+ suicide hotline on all student ID cards for grades 7-12. The Trevor Project is a political activist organization, and this policy forces the district to promote its services and ideology to all students.
Recommended Action Plan
SPEAK UP: This is a First Reading. Email the Board (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding proposed policy BP 5141.4, the district should provide neutral, non-ideological resources to students. Do not force the promotion of a political activist group like The Trevor Project on every student’s ID card.’
💰 Impact: Activist Org on ID Cards

Student Surveillance App ‘Minga’ In Use
The Dean’s report (Item C.5) praises the ‘Minga’ phone app for tracking student check-ins at school events like dances. This app collects student data and normalizes the digital tracking of their movements, raising significant privacy concerns about who owns and can access this information.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the Board (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item C.5, who owns the student data collected by the Minga app, and what is the district’s data-sharing agreement with this vendor? Please provide the specific parental opt-out form and the app’s privacy policy before this technology is expanded.’
💰 Impact: Student Data Privacy

Taxpayer-Funded ‘Equity’ Conference Attendance
The district plans to spend $2,906 to send two staff members to the ‘California Dual Enrollment Equity Conference.’ This conference promotes an ‘equity’ agenda, which often prioritizes equal outcomes over equal opportunity and can lead to ideological changes in curriculum and policy.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Consent Item E.14, please pull this item for a separate discussion and vote. Parents deserve to know what ideological training staff are receiving with taxpayer funds and how it will impact our classrooms.’
💰 Impact: $2,906

WIN: Strong New Policy Protects Kids from Inappropriate Staff Contact
The Board is introducing a new policy (BP 4119.24) that establishes clear, strong boundaries for adult-student interactions. The policy explicitly prohibits staff from visiting a student’s home or maintaining personal contact (including via text or social media) without parental consent and inclusion. This is a fantastic step toward protecting our kids and affirming parental oversight.
How to Lock It In
SECURE THE WIN: Show up to thank the Board for introducing Policy BP 4119.24. Email the Board (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Thank you for prioritizing student safety with the clear boundaries in the proposed Policy BP 4119.24. Please ensure this strong language requiring parental consent for contact remains in the final version.’
✅ Why It Matters: Protecting Our Kids
