District Approving $81k Student Data-Mining Platform
Under Consent Agenda item 14.A.5, the district is renewing an $81,105.00 contract with tech giant Salesforce for a ‘Customer Relationship Management’ (CRM) platform. This system creates a ‘central repository for all student data,’ enabling invasive tracking of student progress to identify them for non-academic interventions.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a major student surveillance contract. Email the Board (see official agenda for contacts): ‘Vote NO on Consent Item 14.A.5. We do not consent to our children’s data being warehoused and analyzed by a third-party tech giant. What specific data is collected, who has access, and for how long is it stored?’
💰 Impact: $81,105.00

Outside Group to Conduct ‘Trauma-Informed Healing Circles’ with Students
Item 14.A.3 brings in an outside vendor, ‘Creating Opportunities Initiative,’ to provide ‘social emotional learning (SEL) support’ to middle and high school students. This program includes ‘trauma-informed healing circles’ and sessions on ’emotional regulation,’ usurping the parental role in a child’s emotional and psychological development.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: Email the Board (see official agenda for contacts): ‘Vote NO on Consent Item 14.A.3. We do not consent to outside groups conducting ‘trauma-informed healing circles’ and SEL sessions with our children. This is the role of a parent, not the school or its partners.’

Secret Changes Proposed to ‘Parent Rights’ Policy
The board is conducting a First Reading of changes to critical policies, including BP 5020 ‘Parent Rights and Responsibilities’ and multiple ‘Nondiscrimination’ policies (Item 14.E.2). These policies are often where districts embed radical gender ideology and limit parental notification, but the actual text of the changes has not been made public with the agenda.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The Board is changing key policies on ‘Parent Rights’ under Item 14.E.2, but hasn’t included the new language. Parents must go to the Superintendent’s office to review these documents and demand the proposed changes be posted publicly online before any vote.
💰 Impact: Your Parental Rights

Board to Rubber-Stamp $11 Million in Spending
Item 14.D.1 asks the board to ratify nearly $11 million in spending after the money has already been committed. Buried in the 17-page list of purchase orders are large payments to ideological EdTech vendors like Curriculum Associates (i-Ready) for over $498,000 and Amplify Education for $19,900, obscuring the spending from public view.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (see official agenda for contacts): ‘Pull Consent Item 14.D.1 for a separate vote. Why is the board ratifying $11M in spending after the fact? We demand a public discussion on the large payments to Curriculum Associates and Amplify Education before this is approved.’
💰 Impact: $10,990,243.92

District Spending $24k on Workshops Segregated by Race
Item 14.A.7 approves a $24,200 contract with Windtree Education for STEM workshops specifically for ‘Affinity Group Families,’ which it defines by race (AAPI and AAPAC). Using ‘Affinity Groups’ to segregate students and families by race for educational opportunities is a divisive practice rooted in critical race theory.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (see official agenda for contacts): ‘Pull Consent Item 14.A.7 for a separate vote. Why is the district using divisive ‘Affinity Groups’ to segregate families by race for STEM workshops? Educational opportunities should be open to all students based on need, not identity politics.’
💰 Impact: $24,200.00 (Title I)

District Leaders Attending Gates Foundation Math Summit
The Superintendent and other top administrators are attending an invitation-only ‘Accelerating California Math Achievement’ forum hosted by the Gates Foundation (Item 14.A.12). The Gates Foundation is a primary driver of controversial ‘equity math’ frameworks that de-emphasize rigor and correct answers. This trip signals the district may be preparing to adopt a new, ideologically-driven math curriculum.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (see official agenda for contacts): ‘Regarding Item 14.A.12, we are concerned about leadership attending a Gates Foundation math summit. Will the Board commit to a transparent, parent-led review of any new math curriculum and reject any framework that prioritizes ‘equity’ over academic excellence?’
💰 Impact: Future Curriculum Changes
