| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |

District Using SEL Data-Mining Vendor Panorama
The Mountain View High School instructional report confirms the district is using Panorama for student surveys. Panorama Education is a major national vendor that collects sensitive social-emotional data on students, often without full parental consent, to advance ‘equity’ and ‘whole child’ initiatives.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: Demand the district release all questions from the Panorama survey and provide the specific opt-out form for this data collection. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘I demand to know what student data Panorama is collecting and who it is shared with. Parents have a right to protect their children’s privacy from SEL data mining.’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Data

Secret Revisions to Employee-Student Interaction Policy
The board is conducting a first reading of revisions to the policy governing employee-student interactions (AR 4060). The text of these critical changes, which could impact rules on staff communication with students about gender identity or other sensitive topics, has not been made public in this agenda.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: This is a First Reading, so now is the time to act. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Before Item F.4, AR 4060 on Employee-Student Interaction, moves forward, parents demand to see the full text of the proposed revisions. We will not allow secret policy changes that affect our children’s safety and our parental rights.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Policy Changes

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Vague Revisions to Parent Complaint Policy
The board is voting on revisions to ‘Uniform Complaint Procedures’ (AR 1312.3) under the consent agenda, meaning it could pass without discussion. The actual text of the changes has not been provided in this packet, hiding whether the district is making it harder for parents to file complaints about curriculum or staff conduct.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Pull Consent Item E.5 from the agenda for a full public discussion. Parents deserve to see the proposed changes to the Uniform Complaint Procedures before you vote on them.’
💰 Impact: Your Right to Complain

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Board Can Limit Public Comment to 20 Minutes Per Topic
The district’s public comment rules state that the Board ‘shall limit the total time for public input on each subject matter to twenty (20) minutes.’ This rule could be used to silence dozens of parents who show up to speak on a single controversial issue, effectively capping debate at just 6 or 7 speakers.
Recommended Action Plan
BE PREPARED: If you plan to speak, sign up early. If the Board President uses the 20-minute rule to cut off parents, be ready to publicly object and demand that all voices be heard on critical issues affecting our children.
💰 Impact: Silencing Parent Voices

$6,000 Contract for ‘Labor-Management’ Training
The district plans to pay $6,000 to the Californians Dedicated to Education Foundation for ‘labor-management partnership support’ and ‘professional development.’ This foundation is a partner of the California Department of Education, raising concerns that this training could be a vehicle for pushing state-level political and social agendas onto district staff.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item F.1, please provide the training materials from the CDE Foundation for public review before approving this $6,000 contract. What specific ‘partnership’ goals will this training advance?’
💰 Impact: $6,000
