District Pushes “No Place for Hate” Resolution
The Board is considering a resolution that uses the phrase “No Place for Hate,” which is the name of a program by the activist Anti-Defamation League (ADL). While the resolution’s language sounds positive, it often serves as a gateway to implementing the ADL’s full curriculum, which can include politically charged “anti-bias” and “social justice” training.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a Trojan Horse. Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details) and sign up for public comment on Item 4.E. ‘We all agree on kindness, but we do not consent to the district adopting the ADL’s political “No Place for Hate” program. Reject this resolution and focus on academic excellence and viewpoint diversity, not activist partnerships.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Activist Programming in Schools

District Demands Pre-Approval for All Student Handouts
The district is reviewing a policy that requires students to submit all “nonschool materials” to the Superintendent for approval before they can be shared with other students. This gives the administration the power to censor student speech they disagree with, potentially targeting conservative or religious viewpoints.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Regarding Item 4.B, Policy 220, what specific criteria will the Superintendent use to approve or deny student materials? This policy appears to be an unconstitutional prior restraint on student speech and must be rejected.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Student Free Speech

District May Allow Partisan Political Groups to Use Schools
The committee is discussing changing the policy that currently bans “partisan political events” from using school facilities. This could open the door for activist or political groups to operate on school grounds, directly exposing students to partisan politics.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE & SPEAK UP: The attachment for Item 4.C was not provided. Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘I am concerned about the discussion to allow partisan political groups to use school facilities. We must see the proposed language for Policy 707 before the meeting. Keep our schools non-partisan.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Politicizing School Grounds

Vague Policy on Student Video Surveillance
The board is revising its video surveillance policy, specifically who gets to see the videos and for what reasons. Without clear language and parental oversight, this could lead to violations of student privacy or misuse of surveillance footage.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: The revised draft for Item 4.D, Policy 709.1, was not included in the agenda. Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Parents have a right to know who has access to video footage of their children. Please release the draft policy and ensure it contains strict privacy protections.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |

Vague Policy for Advertising on School Buses
The district is creating a new policy to allow advertising inside school vehicles. Parents need to see the draft policy to ensure there are strict prohibitions against advertising from political, ideological, or age-inappropriate organizations.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The draft policy for Item 5.A was not attached. Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Please release the draft of Policy 810.4. Parents must be able to review the guardrails on who is allowed to advertise to our children on school property.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Exposing Kids to Ads
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 2) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The board is reviewing a draft policy for “Extra Curricular Activities.” The draft was not included in the public agenda, preventing parental review of potential changes to student clubs or activities.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file for Item 4.A attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes regarding student clubs.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Policy Changes
