District Expands ‘MLSS’ Student Intervention System
The district is updating its ‘Multi-Level Systems of Support’ (MLSS) framework under Item 3.C. This is a data-heavy system that uses ‘universal screening’ to identify students for academic and behavioral ‘intervention,’ allowing the district to label and target children based on its own data, often without direct parental oversight for each step.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: Contact the Curriculum Committee (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding Item 3.C, what specific social-emotional or behavioral screeners are used in the MLSS framework? Parents have a right to know what data is being collected on their children and must be able to opt-out of any non-academic screening.’
💰 Impact: Data-Driven Labeling

School Health Services Expanding into Mental Health Counseling
The district’s annual Health Services report (Item 3.A) reveals a significant focus on ‘mental health support’ and counseling for issues like ‘grief, pregnancy/prevention… and family issues.’ This expands the school nurse’s role far beyond scraped knees and into sensitive areas that belong within the family, all while tracking massive amounts of student health data.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE BOARD: Contact the Curriculum Committee (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding Item 3.A, what specific policies govern parental notification and consent before a student receives mental health counseling or support from school health staff? Parents must be the primary caregivers for their children’s mental and emotional well-being.’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

District Adopts Specific Psychological Model for Behavior
An update on ‘Optimizing Student Outcomes’ (Item 3.D) reveals the district is training staff in the ‘Ross Greene’ method, a specific psychological model for handling student behavior. This plan replaces traditional discipline with a therapeutic approach, positioning school staff as therapists for your child without parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
QUESTION THE SCOPE: Contact the Curriculum Committee (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding Item 3.D, was the ‘Ross Greene’ model selected with parental review? Parents should be consulted before the district adopts a single psychological framework to be used on students.’
💰 Impact: School Staff as Therapists

District ‘Scorecard’ Tracks Student Feelings of ‘Belonging’
The district’s official ‘Scorecard’ (Item 4.B) tracks non-academic metrics like ‘Chronic Absenteeism’ and student responses to the survey question, ‘I feel like I belong at school.’ Elevating subjective feelings of ‘belonging’ to a key performance indicator shifts focus from academic achievement to emotional engineering.
Recommended Action Plan
REFOCUS ON ACADEMICS: Contact the Curriculum Committee (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding the Scorecard in Item 4.B, the board’s focus should be on academic excellence, not subjective student feelings. Please prioritize metrics that measure learning, not ‘belonging’.’
💰 Impact: Academics vs. Feelings
