Heads up! We have scanned the upcoming agenda for Lewis-Palmer Consolidated School District No. 38 in the co. We found 5 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Blind Vote on High-Stakes Policies Affecting Your Kids
The Board is scheduled for a final vote on several critical policy revisions (Item D.3), including ‘Staff Conduct’ and ‘Reporting Child Abuse.’ However, the actual text of these revised policies was not attached to the public agenda. These policies could include new rules on student gender identity or pronouns, but parents are being asked to trust the board to vote without seeing the language.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM & DEMAND A DELAY: Show up to the meeting. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘I demand you postpone the vote on Item D.3, Policy Revisions. The public has not been given the text of these policies to review. We will not accept a blind vote on policies that directly impact our children and our rights.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Policy Language

District Hiding New Hire List from Public
The Board plans to approve a list of new hires, resignations, and terminations as part of the Consent Agenda (Item E.3), but the list of names is being withheld from the public until next month’s meeting. This is a failure of basic transparency. Parents have a right to know who the district is hiring to be in the classroom with their children before the Board votes to approve them.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Pull Item E.3 from the Consent Agenda. The public has a right to see the full personnel list before you vote to approve it. Stop hiding basic information from parents and taxpayers.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Transparency

Hidden SEL and Support Systems in School Improvement Plans
Under the cover of ‘academic excellence,’ several school improvement plans (UIPs) for Board approval in Item D.2 contain ideological language. Prairie Winds Elementary explicitly names ‘Multi-Tiered System of Supports’ (MTSS), a framework that can lead to student interventions and data collection without parental consent. Other schools use euphemisms like ‘whole-child’ and ‘social-emotional growth,’ signaling a shift from academics to social engineering.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item D.2, I am concerned about the inclusion of MTSS and social-emotional language in the school UIPs. Before you approve these plans, please provide a public presentation on what specific non-academic data will be collected on students under MTSS and what parental consent rights are for these interventions.’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Data

| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |

Board Limits Public Comment to 30 Minutes Total
The Board’s policy (Item B.4) caps total public comment time at just 30 minutes for the entire community. If more than 10 people sign up, each person’s time is cut short, effectively silencing parents who have concerns. This is a governance tactic to control the narrative and limit parent input on important issues.
Recommended Action Plan
DEFEND YOUR RIGHT TO SPEAK: Sign up for public comment on Item B.4 to protest the 30-minute time limit itself. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Policy BEDH’s 30-minute total cap on public comment is an unacceptable limit on parental and taxpayer speech. I urge you to revise this policy to ensure every citizen who signs up gets their full three minutes.’
💰 Impact: Your Voice Limited

| Major Win (LEVEL 7) |

WIN: District Improvement Plan Focuses on Academics, Not Ideology
The district’s overall Unified Improvement Plan (UIP) under Item D.2 is a major win for parents. The plan is sharply focused on improving student growth in core subjects like English Language Arts and Math, using academic data to drive instruction. It is refreshingly free of the ideological jargon like ‘SEL,’ ‘DEI,’ and ‘equity’ that has replaced education in so many other districts.
How to Lock It In
AMPLIFY THE WIN: Show up to thank the Board for keeping the district’s improvement plan focused on academic excellence. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Thank you for prioritizing academics in the District Unified Improvement Plan (Item D.2). We fully support this focus on ELA and Math, and we urge you to ensure this academic-first approach is implemented in every school, free from social agendas.’
✅ Why It Matters: Return to Academics
