| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |

Board President Can Limit Public Comment
Board Bylaw 9323, referenced in the agenda, limits public comment to 20 minutes total per topic. Crucially, it also allows the Board President to decrease this time, potentially silencing parental opposition on controversial issues after only a few people have spoken.
Recommended Action Plan
DEFEND YOUR VOICE: Sign up for public comment on any controversial item. Email the Board via the Superintendent’s office ( superintendent@lmsvschools.org): ‘We urge the Board President to uphold and expand, not limit, the 20-minute public comment period on all items of high public interest. Do not silence parents.’

Outsourcing Special Ed Staffing to National Temp Agencies
The district is approving contracts (Item 7.A) with two large, national staffing agencies, Procare Therapy and Aya Healthcare, to provide special education teachers and therapists. This outsources a core district function, potentially bringing in staff trained in ideologies unfamiliar to the community and creating financial dependency due to high conversion fees ($20,000+ to hire a temp).
Recommended Action Plan
VERIFY VENDORS: Email the Superintendent ( superintendent@lmsvschools.org): ‘Regarding Item 7.A, what is the district’s vetting process for the ideologies and training of staff provided by Procare Therapy and Aya Healthcare? Why are we outsourcing this core function instead of hiring district employees?’

Vague “Relationships” Consultant on Consent Agenda
Under Item 6.A, the district is paying “Relationships at Work, Inc” an undisclosed fee for “consulting services to support with IPM meetings.” This vague language often conceals training in controversial techniques like Restorative Practices or other SEL-based interventions that undermine traditional discipline.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Superintendent ( superintendent@lmsvschools.org): ‘I demand Item 6.A, the contract with Relationships at Work, Inc, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion. What are ‘IPM meetings’ and what specific services will this consultant provide?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Fee Schedule

DEI Hiring Criteria in “Growing Our Own” Report
A presentation on district hiring practices (Item 5.A) states a goal to build a workforce that is “inclusive and reflective of the community we serve.” This is DEI language that prioritizes group identity in hiring, potentially over individual merit, and can lead to an ideologically skewed staff.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Email the Superintendent ( superintendent@lmsvschools.org): ‘Regarding the ‘Growing Our Own’ report, what specific metrics are used to determine if the workforce is ‘reflective of the community’? Will the district commit to hiring the most qualified candidate for every role, regardless of identity?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Merit-Based Hiring

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The agenda lists “Action – Human Resources Consent Items” (Item 8.A) with a recommendation for approval, but the attached document (“HR Standard Recs”) could not be extracted. These items often contain personnel changes or salary schedules, but can also hide significant policy shifts.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed
