| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |
|
Expanding ‘Esteem Curriculum’ to 5th Graders
The Board is voting to expand a program called the ‘Esteem Curriculum’ into 5th-grade classrooms. This curriculum is not defined in the agenda, but such programs often contain sensitive topics related to health and sexuality, which require full parental review before being taught to 10- and 11-year-olds.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is Action Item 12.A. We need parents to show up and speak against this. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and demand the Board vote NO on Item 12.A. Tell them: ‘Parents have not been given the opportunity to review the ‘Esteem Curriculum’ and we do not consent to its expansion into 5th grade without full transparency.’
💰 Impact: Sensitive Topics for 5th Graders

New Appointments to Influential Health Council (SHAC)
The Board is appointing new members to the School Health Advisory Council (SHAC). This council has major influence over district policies on sex education, mental health, and other sensitive topics. Parents need to know who these new members are to ensure they represent community values, not activist agendas.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND VETTING: Contact the Board regarding Item 12.B (see the Official Agenda link for contact info). Ask them: ‘Who are the proposed appointees to the SHAC? Please release their names and qualifications for public review before the vote. Parents have a right to know who is advising the district on our children’s health.’
💰 Impact: Activist Influence on Health Policy

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |

Rubber-Stamping New Library Books on Consent Agenda
The district is asking for approval to buy new library books under Consent Agenda Item 11.H, which is designed for quick, bundled votes with no discussion. Parents have a right to know what books are being purchased with their tax dollars before they are placed in school libraries.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE & DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Item 11.H is on the Consent Agenda. Open the file attached to this item in the official agenda (linked above) to see the full book list. If you see concerning titles, contact the Board immediately: ‘Pull Item 11.H from the Consent Agenda. Parents deserve a public discussion and a separate vote on the proposed library book list.’
💰 Impact: Unvetted Content

$250k for More Classroom Screens on Consent Agenda
The district plans to spend $250,804 on ‘Interactive Flat Panel Displays’ (smartboards) for four schools. This item is on the Consent Agenda, meaning it can be approved without discussion, and the district has not provided evidence that these screens improve academic outcomes rather than just increasing screen time.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link) and demand Item 11.A.1 be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate vote. Ask them: ‘Before approving the $250,804 purchase in Item 11.A.1, please present the independent, non-vendor-funded evidence that these devices produce meaningful academic gains, and state how many additional hours of screen time this will add to a student’s day.’
💰 Impact: $250,804
