Changes to Gifted Program Hidden on Consent Agenda
The board plans to approve an ‘Updated 2026-2027 TAG Plan’ as part of the consent agenda, preventing public discussion. The document detailing the changes to the Talented and Gifted program was not included in the public agenda packet, leaving parents in the dark.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Education before Monday’s meeting. ‘I demand Item 4.I, the Updated TAG Plan, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. Parents have a right to see and discuss changes to the gifted program before you vote.’ Please check the district website for board member email addresses.

Secret Changes to High School Course Offerings
The board is holding a ‘First Reading’ of the 2027-2028 Course Registration Guide. This document controls which classes are offered, including honors, AP, and advanced courses, but the ‘red-lined’ draft showing the actual changes has not been made public.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The file for Item 6.B, ‘2027-2028 _ Course Registration Guide _ RED-LINE -DRAFT.pdf’, is referenced but its content was not provided. Open this file in the Official Agenda (linked above) to check for changes to honors, AP, or advanced math tracks. If you cannot access it, email the board and demand they publish the document for public review before the vote.
💰 Impact: De-tracking by Stealth

District Cuts School Day Every Monday
The 2026-2027 academic calendar, up for approval, cuts the school day short every Monday with a 2:00 PM dismissal for ‘professional development.’ This represents a significant, weekly loss of instructional time for all students.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE QUESTION: Contact the District Office at (515) 967-7819 and email the Board. ‘Regarding Item 6.A, what specific training justifies a weekly early dismissal and the loss of instructional time? Parents deserve to know what is replacing academic instruction every Monday.’ Please check the district website for board member email addresses.
💰 Impact: Lost Classroom Time

District Pays $2,000 for Unvetted ‘Youth Speaker’ Assembly
A $2,000 payment to ‘Top Youth Speakers’ for a school assembly is buried in the prepaid invoice list. This is a booking agency, and without board transparency, there is no way for parents to know if the speaker’s message aligns with community values or is promoting a political ideology.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND VETTING: Email the Board of Education. ‘Regarding the $2,000 payment to Top Youth Speakers in the invoice list (Item 4.C), who is the speaker, what is the topic, and how can parents review the presentation content before it is shown to our children?’ Please check the district website for board member email addresses.
💰 Impact: $2,000

Secret Committee Discussing Major Change to School Start Times
The Superintendent revealed that a ‘group met this week to revisit the idea of a 45-minute offset schedule’ for school start times. This discussion, which has a massive impact on every family’s daily life, is happening without parental involvement.
Recommended Action Plan
GET A SEAT AT THE TABLE: Email the Superintendent and Board. ‘Regarding the discussion on school start times mentioned in Item 7.A, we demand that parents be formally included in any group or committee considering these changes from the very beginning.’ Please check the district website for contact information.
💰 Impact: Your Family’s Schedule
