Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Hacienda la Puente Unified. We found 10 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |
|
$100k for School-Based Mental Health Counseling
The district is paying a contractor $100,000 to provide direct mental health counseling and assessments to students on campus. This creates a school-based mental health clinic that can operate without parental presence or full, transparent consent for every session.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a direct threat to parental rights. Contact the Board of Education (see the Official Agenda link): ‘We do not co-parent with the government. Vote NO on Item 5.05.d. Mental health services must be provided with full parental presence and consent, not through a school-based clinic.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Bypassing Parental Consent
|
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
New Student Behavioral Health Database Contract
The district is paying $20,000 for a new data system to manage student “behavioral health records.” This system will integrate with the main student database (Aeries) and is designed to expand school-based health services, potentially without direct parental oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item 5.04.f, who will have access to my child’s behavioral health data? Will parents be required to give explicit consent before any data is entered into this system, and can we review and delete records?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Privacy
|
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Invasive “Healthy Kids” Student Survey
The district is paying vendor WestEd $6,000 to administer the “California Healthy Kids Survey” to students in grades 5, 6, 7, 9, and 11. These “climate” surveys are known for asking invasive, non-academic questions about students’ personal lives, feelings, and families, collecting sensitive data without full parental review.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item 5.05.f, parents must be given the full survey to review at least two weeks in advance, not just a summary. Provide the explicit opt-out form for the California Healthy Kids Survey immediately.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Student Privacy

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |

Superintendent Given $50,000 “Blank Check”
This resolution gives the Superintendent the power to sign contracts up to $50,000 without prior Board approval. These contracts would only be “ratified” later, often buried in a consent agenda, making it much harder for parents to stop a bad deal before the money is spent.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND OVERSIGHT: Contact the Board of Education (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Vote NO on Item 7.02.b. The Board’s most important job is fiscal oversight. Do not give away your authority to approve contracts before they are signed.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Board Oversight
|
| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Ethnic Studies Pushed via Heritage Months
Resolutions for Hispanic Heritage Month and Indigenous Peoples’ Day specify the use of curriculum from the district’s “Intersectional Ethnic Studies Program” and the state’s “Native American Studies Model Curriculum.” These materials often replace history with activism and view academics through the lens of identity politics and oppression.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND CURRICULUM REVIEW: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Items 7.03.d and 7.03.e, parents demand the right to review all “Intersectional Ethnic Studies” and “Native American Studies” materials before they are used in the classroom. We must ensure history is being taught, not political activism.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Replacing Academics
|
| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Suicide Prevention Month Used to Push SEL
The resolution for “Suicide Prevention Awareness Month” explicitly ties the initiative to implementing “Social Emotional Learning (SEL)” and highlights statistics for LGBTQ+ students. This signals that programming may focus on identity politics rather than universal mental health strategies, using a serious issue as a vehicle for ideological curriculum.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK FOR CURRICULUM: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Resolution 2026/27-6, what specific SEL curriculum and resources will be used for Suicide Prevention Month? Parents must be able to review all materials to ensure they are appropriate and free of political agendas.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Ideological Programming
|
| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
“Trauma-Informed” Staff Training Contract
The district is spending $13,000 from a federal grant on staff training that includes “Trauma-Informed Practices.” This approach can reframe student discipline as a mental health issue, leading to interventions that bypass parental authority and traditional consequences.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item 5.05.c, will parents be able to review the “Trauma-Informed Practices” training materials? We must ensure these practices don’t undermine classroom discipline or parental authority.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $13,000 (Federal Strings Attached)
|
| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The agenda references the district’s initial proposal to the teachers’ union, but the document text was not available for analysis. This proposal could contain significant changes to teacher duties, evaluation, or classroom policies.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘2026-2027 Successor Agreement w_HLPTA from District.pdf’ attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Student Data Sharing with State University System
The district is entering a four-year agreement to share 12th-grade student data with the California State University system. While the stated purpose is to streamline admissions, parents need to know exactly what personal and academic data is being shared without their direct, case-by-case consent.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND DETAILS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item 5.05.h, please provide a list of all student data fields that will be shared with the CSU system under this MOU. Parents have a right to know who has their children’s data.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Data

Good moves worth showing up to support so they stick.

| Win (LEVEL 6) |

Potential for More Board Member Power
The Board is discussing changing the rules to make it easier for individual board members to get items on the agenda. The current system allows the Superintendent and Board President to block requests, so this change could give more power to parent-allied trustees.
How to Lock It In
SUPPORT THIS CHANGE: Show up and speak in favor of amending Bylaw 9322 during item 7.02.d. Tell the board: ‘Empower individual board members to represent their constituents by allowing them to place items on the agenda. Stop letting the administration gatekeep important discussions.’
✅ Why It Matters: Increased Transparency
