|
District to Spend $718,891 on SEL/MTSS Vendor
The district plans to approve a $718,891.20 contract with vendor Elevo for after-school programs under Consent Item K.5. This vendor uses the “Multi-Tiered System of Supports” (MTSS) framework to implement “social-emotional development,” which is often used to replace academics with behavioral engineering.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a massive expenditure on ideological programming. Demand the Board pull Consent Item K.5, specifically Agreement 84, for a separate vote. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘I do not consent to my tax dollars funding social-emotional experiments on children. Vote NO on the $718,891 Elevo contract.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $718,891.20

District Training Staff in Student Suicide Risk Assessment
The district is spending $6,000 for consultants to train mental health staff and administrators in “suicide risk assessments.” This training, funded by the state’s Children and Youth Behavioral Health Initiative (CYBHI), expands the school’s role in mental health screening, often without direct parental involvement or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: The district is building a mental health surveillance system. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask to pull Consent Item K.5, specifically Agreements 80 and 96: ‘Who provides consent for these assessments, and are parents notified *before* they occur? What are the credentials of these trainers?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

Social Workers to be Trained in “Culturally Responsive” Therapy
Under Staff Development Request A0255, the district is sending five school social workers to be trained in “Modular Approach to Therapy for Children (MATCH).” The training explicitly includes “culturally responsive practices” and integration into the MTSS framework, further embedding therapeutic and ideological interventions into the school day.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: This training equips school staff to act as therapists. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) regarding Consent Item K.11, SDR A0255: ‘Parents, not the school, are responsible for their children’s therapy. This training crosses a line and should not be approved with taxpayer funds.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Therapeutic Ideology

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Board Adopting National Education Association (NEA) Ethics Code
Under item J.6, the Board is updating its “Professional Standards” exhibit to align with the National Education Association’s “Code of Ethics for Educators.” This formally adopts the language of a highly political, activist organization, including shifts from equality to “equitable opportunities” and promoting an “inclusive environment.”
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND LOCAL STANDARDS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) regarding Item J.6: ‘Our district’s professional standards should be based on academic excellence and parental rights, not the political agenda of the NEA. Please reject this exhibit and maintain neutral, common-sense standards.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Union Ideology in Policy

District to Purchase AI Writing Assessment Software
The district plans to spend $19,691.10 on a subscription to “Enlighten AI” for writing assessment under Consent Item K.6. This raises serious questions about student data privacy and the potential for ideological bias in the AI’s scoring rubrics.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) regarding Consent Item K.6, Purchase Order 27*0591: ‘Who owns the student writing data collected by Enlighten AI? Will parents be given a clear and easy way to opt their children out of this AI assessment program?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Student Data Privacy

District Spending $50k on “Equitable Enrollment” Platform
The district plans to pay “Activity Hero” $50,143.68 for a platform to manage after-school programs. A key feature highlighted is its ability to facilitate “equitable enrollment,” which can be a mechanism for social engineering and prioritizing students based on identity categories rather than need or interest.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE QUESTION: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) regarding Consent Item K.5, Agreement 78: ‘What are the specific criteria for “equitable enrollment” in the Activity Hero platform? Enrollment in after-school programs should be fair and open, not based on divisive identity politics.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $50,143.68

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The agenda lists two Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with the teacher (eWEa) and employee (CSEA) unions regarding medical benefits and layoff effects. The actual documents detailing the agreements were not included in the provided agenda packet.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the files attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) for Items J.3 and J.4 to confirm whether they contain sensitive policy changes or financial commitments.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Union Terms

| ALERT (LEVEL 2) |
|
Arts & Music Plan Cites “Global Society” Goal
The district’s plan for spending Prop 28 Arts and Music funds states that its programs align with the district mission to help students “responsibly contribute to a global society.” This language is often a euphemism for “Global Citizenship” programs that de-emphasize American values.
Recommended Action Plan
Monitor: This is low-level ideological language, but it sets a precedent. Keep an eye on how ‘global society’ is defined in the actual curriculum that this funding supports. No immediate action required.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Ideological Framing
