District DEI Plan “Forward Together” Moves Ahead
The “Forward Together” presentation (Item 9.1) is an update on the district’s three-year strategic plan for ‘diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging.’ The plan embeds ideological programs like ‘No Place for Hate’ (from the ADL), ‘Restorative Practices,’ ‘PBIS,’ and ‘MTSS’ into the district’s core operations, shifting focus from academics to social engineering.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: Sign up for public comment on Item 9.1. Email the Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘The ‘Forward Together’ plan prioritizes DEI initiatives over academic excellence. We demand the district abandon partnerships with political groups like the ADL and refocus on teaching core subjects.’
💰 Impact: Focus on Academics

District Pays $22,400 for “Hate Speech” Presenter
Buried in the Purchase Order list (Item 8.5) and Contracted Services Report (Item 8.6), the district is paying Don Dumas $22,400 for a ‘Hate Speech Presentation’ for middle and high school students. Parents need to know who this presenter is and what ideology he will be teaching students under the guise of an anti-hate message.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding the contract with Don Dumas in Consent Items 8.5 and 8.6, I demand this be pulled for a separate vote. The board must publicly review the content of the ‘Hate Speech Presentation’ before approving this $22,400 contract.’
💰 Impact: $22,400

Board Policy Limits Public Speaking Time
The board’s official policy, stated at the beginning of the agenda, automatically shortens public comment time from three minutes down to as little as one minute if 11 or more people sign up to speak. This rule can be used to silence a large group of parents who show up to voice their concerns on a controversial topic.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND YOUR RIGHT TO SPEAK: Email the Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Board Bylaw 9323, which shortens public comment time based on the number of speakers, must be revised. Parents who take time to show up deserve their full three minutes to be heard.’
💰 Impact: Your Right to Be Heard

New “Human Rights Watch” Activist Club Proposed
The board is set to approve a new student club that acts as a ‘Student Task Force’ for the political organization Human Rights Watch (Item 8.19). The club’s stated purpose is to advance the organization’s mission and develop students into ‘advocates for social justice,’ effectively turning a school club into a training ground for a specific political agenda.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: Email the Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Vote NO on Consent Item 8.19. School clubs should not be official chapters for external political advocacy groups like Human Rights Watch.’
💰 Impact: Student Political Activism

District Spends $33,050 on “Student-Centered” Staff Training
Under Item 8.6, the district is paying ‘Big Picture Learning’ $33,050 for staff training on a ‘student-centered model.’ This often means replacing traditional, proven teaching methods with progressive ideologies that prioritize student feelings and social projects over academic knowledge.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Pull Item 2 from the Contracted Services Report (Agenda Item 8.6) for a separate vote. What specific changes to classroom instruction will result from the $33,050 Big Picture Learning contract?’
💰 Impact: $33,050 (Grant Funded)

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The board is conducting a first reading of revised hiring policies (Item 13.2) to ‘promote fairness and equity’ and recruit a ‘diverse pool’ of applicants. This language often signals a shift toward DEI-based hiring quotas, prioritizing identity over merit.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attachments for Item 13.2 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether these policy changes introduce DEI quotas into district hiring. Email the Board to demand they prioritize hiring the most qualified candidates, not fulfilling a diversity checklist.
💰 Impact: Merit-Based Hiring

New “Mental Health” Club with Unvetted Partner
The board is approving the ‘Endurant Club’ (Item 8.22) to ‘spread awareness of teen suicide and mental health.’ The club’s constitution says it will ‘work together with… Endurant,’ suggesting a partnership with an outside group that has not been vetted for parents.
Recommended Action Plan
VERIFY THE VENDOR: Email the Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding Consent Item 8.22, who or what is the ‘Endurant’ organization the new club will be working with? The Board must provide parents with full information on any outside mental health groups before approving this club.’
💰 Impact: Unvetted Mental Health Partner

District Considers Paying Fingerprint Fees for Parent Volunteers
The Board is discussing whether to cover the approximately $75 fingerprinting fee for parent volunteers (Item 11.1). This would remove a financial barrier, making it easier for more parents to be involved in their children’s schools and classrooms.
How to Lock It In
SHOW UP TO SUPPORT: Email the Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link for contact info) and attend the meeting to speak on Item 11.1: ‘Please vote YES to have the district cover fingerprinting fees for parent volunteers. Removing this barrier will increase parental involvement, which benefits everyone.’
✅ Why It Matters: Increased Parent Involvement
