| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |

Vague Bullying Policy — Manual Review Required
The board is revising its Bullying/Cyberbullying policy (Policy 249), but the text of the changes has not been provided in the agenda summary. These policies are often used to insert controversial definitions of harassment related to gender identity, which can violate parental rights and student speech.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item 4.A, please post the full redlined text of the proposed changes to Policy 249 online immediately. Parents have a right to review any changes to the bullying policy, especially those that could impact student speech and gender identity issues, well before the board votes.’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Free Speech

Parent Group Policy Revision — Text Undisclosed
The board is revising its policy on parent groups like PTOs and booster clubs (Policy 915), but the actual policy text is not attached to the agenda. This policy could be used to set new requirements for parent groups, and we must see the language to ensure it doesn’t create ideological litmus tests for parent participation.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The text for the revised Policy 915 is missing from the public agenda. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item 4.D, please post the full text of the proposed changes to Policy 915 immediately. Parents need to review the rules governing their own organizations before you vote.’
💰 Impact: Ideological Control of Parent Groups

New Advertising Policy Creates Censorship Risk
The district is creating a new policy to sell advertising inside school vehicles. While it has rules against inappropriate content, it also gives the district the power to reject any ad it deems ‘controversial in nature,’ a vague standard that could be used to censor pro-family or conservative viewpoints.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND CLARITY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding new Policy 810.4 under Item 4.C, I am concerned the term ‘controversial in nature’ is a subjective standard that invites viewpoint discrimination. Please define this term with objective criteria before the policy is approved to ensure all viewpoints are treated fairly.’
💰 Impact: Viewpoint Discrimination
