Hidden in the consent agenda’s List of Bills is an $18,990.50 payment to CharacterStrong LLC, a well-known Social Emotional Learning (SEL) vendor. This purchase brings a curriculum focused on student emotions and mindsets into the classroom, often at the expense of academic instruction.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the School Board (contact info on district website): ‘I demand the payment to CharacterStrong LLC in the List of Bills under Consent Agenda Item 5.B be pulled for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. Parents deserve to know why the district is spending nearly $19,000 on SEL instead of academics.’

Report Reveals District-Wide Push for Student Data Collection System (MTSS)
The Curriculum and Instruction Report (Item 7.B) confirms a district-wide focus on implementing Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS). This framework creates a system for collecting extensive data on students’ academic, behavioral, and social-emotional progress to apply ‘interventions,’ which can lead to student surveillance and social engineering.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: Contact the School Board (see district website for info): ‘The report on MTSS in Item 7.B is alarming. What specific social-emotional data is being collected on students, who has access to it, and what are the precise parental notification and opt-out rights for these interventions?’

District Spending $6,262 on ‘Instructional Coaching’ Training
Under Item 5.I, the district plans to spend $6,261.75 for nine staff members to attend an ‘Intensive Instructional Coaching Institute.’ While framed as teacher support, these programs can introduce SEL-based pedagogy focusing on ‘partnerships’ and ‘better conversations’ rather than academic rigor and content mastery.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Email the School Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item 5.I, what specific instructional practices will this coaching promote? Please ensure this training is focused on proven academic strategies, not social-emotional or relationship-based pedagogies.’

WIN: Board to Finalize Policy Protecting Girls’ Sports
The Board is holding a final vote on Policy 123.3, which protects female athletes by defining sports eligibility based on biological sex at birth. This policy ensures fair competition and safety for girls, stating clearly that ‘Student participation on girls’ teams shall be limited to students of the female biological sex.’
How to Lock It In
PACK THE ROOM TO SUPPORT: Show up to thank the Board for protecting our daughters. Sign up for public comment to praise their courage on Item 6.B and get this win on the record so it can’t be quietly reversed. This is a model policy for other districts.
