SEL and ‘Social-Emotional’ Materials Hidden in $3M Spending Vote
Item 10.D asks the Board to rubber-stamp over $3 million in purchase orders. Buried inside the attached list are materials for “SEL” (Social Emotional Learning) and assessment tools for “Social-Emotional Development,” confirming the district is buying into this ideology. This is a classic example of hiding controversial spending on a “consent agenda” to avoid public debate.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a poison pill. Email the Board ( Board@eusd.net) and demand they ‘Pull Consent Item 10.D for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. Parents deserve to know why you are spending money on SEL and social-emotional assessments instead of academics.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $3,054,690.39

| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |

Policy Change Could Muzzle Elected Board Members
Under agenda item 9.F, proposed changes to Board Bylaw 9200 would forbid individual board members from investigating or resolving parent complaints. Instead, they must forward all such concerns to the Superintendent. This policy strips power from the officials you elect and centralizes it with an unelected administrator, making it harder for parents to get a direct response.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY: Email the Board ( Board@eusd.net) and Superintendent: ‘Vote NO on the proposed changes to BB 9200 in Item 9.F. We elect board members to represent us, not to be gatekeepers for the administration. Do not limit their ability to serve their constituents.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Board Oversight

New Rules Limit Parent Speech at Meetings
Item 7.A reveals that public comments emailed to the Board will not be read aloud during the meeting. This silences parents who cannot attend in person, preventing their concerns from becoming part of the public record and discussion. This tactic limits transparency and the reach of parents’ voices.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND YOUR VOICE BE HEARD: Email the Board ( Board@eusd.net): ‘Regarding Item 7.A, all public comments, whether in-person or emailed, must be read into the public record. Anything less is an attempt to silence parents and limit transparency.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Suppressed Public Voice

Policy Update Gives Board President Power to Remove Parents
A proposed change to Board Bylaw 9323, under agenda item 9.F, gives the Board President new authority to remove a person for “disrupting” a meeting. While civility is important, vague definitions of “disruption” are often used to silence dissent and intimidate parents who are passionately speaking out. This creates a chilling effect on public comment.
Recommended Action Plan
PROTECT FREE SPEECH: Email the Board ( Board@eusd.net): ‘Oppose the changes to BB 9323 in Item 9.F. The definition of ‘disruption’ is too subjective and gives the Board President too much power to silence parents who disagree with you. Do not weaponize meeting rules against the public.’

District Rolls Out Student Behavior & Emotion Tracking System
Item 8.A is an update on the district’s “Multi-Tiered System of Supports” (MTSS). This is a framework that goes beyond academics to include “behavioral and social-emotional support” using a “data-driven approach.” MTSS is often the vehicle for implementing SEL and creating detailed data files on students’ attitudes and behaviors, all without direct parental consent for each intervention.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Superintendent and Board ( Board@eusd.net): ‘Regarding Item 8.A, what specific data is collected on students under MTSS? Provide the parental notification and opt-out forms for all behavioral and social-emotional interventions before this system is expanded.’

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
Item 9.A is an action item to approve the 2025-2026 Unaudited Actuals Financial Report. The agenda references a large PDF attachment (2526UASACS.pdf) that contains the full report, but the text of that file was not provided for analysis. Parents must review this document to ensure there is no hidden spending.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘2526UASACS.pdf’ attached to Item 9.A in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes or questionable spending.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed

Resolution Pushes Vague ‘Inclusion’ Initiative
Item 9.E is a resolution supporting “Abilities Awareness / Inclusion in Action.” While supporting students with disabilities is good, the term “Inclusion” is a common euphemism used to introduce broader DEI and identity politics into the school environment. The background text is vague and provides no specific details on what this program actually entails.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK FOR DETAILS: Email the Board ( Board@eusd.net) before the meeting: ‘Regarding Resolution 08-2627, please provide the specific curriculum, training materials, and vendors associated with the “Inclusion in Action” initiative before you vote. Parents will not approve a blank check for ideological programs.’
