SEL Vendor “Committee for Children” Hidden in Payable Report
The district is paying $2,879.10 to ‘Committee for Children,’ the creator of the ‘Second Step’ Social Emotional Learning curriculum. This payment is buried in the consent agenda’s bill list, bypassing public discussion on a known ideological vendor.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘I demand Item 10.3, Approval of Warrants, be pulled from the Consent Agenda. The Board must publicly discuss and vote on the $2,879.10 payment to the SEL provider ‘Committee for Children’ instead of hiding it in a routine bill list.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $2,879.10

Board to Vote on 400% Pay Raise for Themselves
Under agenda item 11.8, the Board is conducting a second read of a bylaw that could increase their own monthly compensation from a former ceiling of $120 to a new maximum of $600. This represents a significant pay raise for board members, paid for by taxpayers from the district’s general fund.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: Sign up for public comment to speak on Item 11.8. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Board service should be about public service, not personal enrichment. Vote NO on any increase to board member compensation and keep the focus on students, not yourselves.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Pay Raise

Federal ARPA Funds for Vague Staff ‘Training’
The district is signing an MOU to use federal ARPA funds for unspecified ’employee education/training-related expenses.’ These funds often come with ideological strings, and this could be a back door to fund DEI or SEL training for teachers.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item 10.5, what specific ‘education/training’ will be funded with these federal ARPA dollars? Parents have a right to know if this money will be used for ideological training like DEI or Critical Race Theory before you approve it.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Federal Strings Attached

After-School Program Job Requires SEL Implementation
The new job description for the Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELO-P) Coordinator explicitly requires providing ‘social-emotional opportunities’ and supporting students’ ‘social-emotional needs.’ This formalizes the replacement of academic support or recreation with SEL in the after-school program.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the ELO-P Coordinator job in item 10.7, what specific curriculum will be used to address ‘social-emotional needs’? Parents deserve to know what is being taught in the after-school program.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Academics Replaced with SEL

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The Superintendent’s report includes a file titled ‘The_Upstander_Field_Guide,’ but the document itself was not provided in the agenda packet. ‘Upstander’ programs can be vehicles for social justice and identity-based content under the guise of anti-bullying.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘The_Upstander_Field_Guide (1).pdf’ attached to item 9.2 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm its content. Email the Board: ‘Please provide public access to the ‘Upstander Field Guide’ mentioned in the Superintendent’s report so parents can review its contents before it is used with staff or students.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Ideological Classroom Content
