Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Alhambra Elementary District (4280). We found 9 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |
|
District to Funnel Students into Telehealth Psychiatry & Medication
The district is approving an MOU with Cartwheel Health Services to provide students with “telehealth mental health assessments,” therapy, “psychiatric evaluations and medication management when appropriate.” This creates a direct, school-endorsed pathway for students to be diagnosed and prescribed psychiatric medication via telehealth, a massive overstep of the school’s role.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a critical threat to parental rights and student health. Email the Governing Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info) and sign up for public comment: ‘Vote NO on New Business Item E.3. The school has no business facilitating psychiatric evaluations or medication for our children. This is a dangerous overreach and a massive liability.’

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
New Partnership for School-Based Mental Health Services
The district is creating a partnership with MIND 24-7 to provide students with “mental and behavioral health services,” including crisis intervention and therapy. This agreement establishes a “data-sharing framework,” creating a direct pipeline for mental health interventions and student data collection that can operate outside of a parent’s direct oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The attachment for New Business Item E.1 was not available for analysis. Email the Governing Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Vote NO on Item E.1. The district’s role is education, not to be a satellite clinic for mental health providers. We do not consent to school-based data-sharing frameworks without full public review of the MOU with MIND 24-7.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |

Policy Change Expands School’s Role as Arm of Child Protective Services
Under informational item G.1, a revision to policy JR-R Student Records requires the school to provide the Department of Child Safety (DCS) with student records and other information upon request. It also prohibits staff from being prevented from speaking with a DCS caseworker, expanding the school’s role in surveillance and data sharing with state agencies without parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
PUT THE BOARD ON NOTICE: This is an informational item, not a vote, but the board needs to hear from us. Email the Governing Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘The changes to policy JR-R Student Records are alarming. The school’s primary role is education, not to act as a data-gathering arm for DCS. We demand a public discussion on the guardrails to protect family privacy under this new regulation.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Family’s Privacy

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
After-School “Resource Center” to Provide Behavioral Health Services
The district is partnering with LivWell Foundation to operate an after-school “community resource center” on a school campus. This center will provide “behavioral health services,” turning the school into a hub for psychological interventions and potentially bypassing parents.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Governing Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Vote NO on New Business Item E.2. A school campus should not be used to host external behavioral health services. This blurs the line between education and medical treatment and undermines parental authority.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Parental Oversight
|
| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Staff Training in “Conscious Discipline” SEL Program
The district is spending over $9,100 for three staff members to attend a “Conscious Discipline Conference.” This program focuses on “emotional regulation” and “challenging behaviors,” which are core components of Social Emotional Learning (SEL) that can replace traditional discipline with psychological programming.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Governing Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding Consent Item D.5, I demand this staff travel be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and vote. Parents deserve to know why taxpayer funds are being used for SEL training like ‘Conscious Discipline’ instead of academic improvement.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $9,146.38

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
University Partnership Places Social Work Students in Schools
The district is partnering with Saint Louis University to place their School of Social Work students in the district for “field experiences.” This creates a pipeline for social work ideologies and interventions, such as SEL and mental health screenings, to be embedded directly into the school environment, often without direct parental oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Governing Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding Consent Item D.10, I demand this MOU be pulled for a separate vote. What are the specific duties of these social work students, and what oversight will parents have over their interactions with our children?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Ideological Influence
|
| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Vague “Professional Development” Contract Renewal Requires Manual Review
The district is renewing a multi-year contract for “Professional Development, Coaching, and Related Materials.” The specific vendors and materials are not disclosed in the agenda, and the attached file was not provided in the text.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Regarding Consent Item D.7, open the file ‘Year 2 Vendor Renewals #S25-06-30.pdf’ attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to identify the vendors. We must confirm if ideological consultants or SEL curriculum providers are hidden in this renewal.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed

✅ Wins to Defend
Good moves worth showing up to support so they stick.
|
| Major Win (LEVEL 8) |
|
WIN: Board Adopts Policy to Increase Transparency
The board is adopting Policy BEDB-Agenda, which prohibits placing tax increases or final decisions from executive sessions on the consent agenda. This is a significant win for transparency, forcing important financial and policy decisions to be discussed and voted on individually in public.
How to Lock It In
AMPLIFY THIS WIN: Show up to thank the Board for passing Item F.1. Email the Governing Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Thank you for approving Policy BEDB-Agenda. This is a crucial step for transparency and accountability, and we appreciate you ensuring major decisions are not hidden from public view.’
✅ Why It Matters: Increased Board Accountability
|
| Major Win (LEVEL 7) |
|
WIN: Policy Protects Equal Access for Patriotic Youth Groups
The board is adopting Policy JJAB, which ensures that “patriotic youth groups” cannot be denied equal access or discriminated against based on their membership requirements or an “oath of allegiance to God and country.” This protects groups like the Boy Scouts from being pushed out of schools.
How to Lock It In
SECURE THE WIN: Email the Governing Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info) to thank them for adopting Item F.7. ‘Thank you for passing Policy JJAB and protecting the rights of patriotic youth groups in our schools. This is a welcome defense of traditional values and free association.’
✅ Why It Matters: Protecting Traditional Values
