Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Lamont Elementary. We found 10 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
Mandatory Staff Training on LGBTQ+ Ideology and ‘Personal Bias’
Under the guise of ‘Staff Development’ (Policies 4131, 4231, 4331), the district is introducing mandatory annual ‘LGBTQ+ cultural competency’ training for staff in grades 7-12. The policy update also protects staff who admit to ‘personal bias’ during ‘bias mitigation training,’ creating a system for ideological re-education of teachers.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a First Reading. We must stop it now. Email the Board (see official agenda for contacts): ‘Vote NO on the staff development policies (4131, 4231, 4331). Teacher training should focus on academic excellence, not political indoctrination and ideological struggle sessions.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Teacher Indoctrination

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
District to Pay for ‘Trauma-Informed Services’ from Outside Vendor
Hidden in the warrant register is a payment of $27,312.50 to Garden Pathways, INC for ‘Comprehensive Trauma-Informed Services.’ This is a Trojan horse for bringing school-based mental health interventions and social-emotional programming into the school, bypassing parental oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email Superintendent Brandy Charles (see official agenda for contact): ‘I demand to know the full scope of services provided by Garden Pathways, INC. What specific interventions will be used on students, and what are the parental consent and opt-out procedures for this ‘trauma-informed’ program?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $27,312.50

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |

District Buys ‘Conscious Discipline’ SEL Program for Preschoolers
The district is spending $5,580 on ‘Conscious Discipline’ from vendor Loving Guidance LLC. This is a well-known Social Emotional Learning (SEL) program that focuses on behavior modification and emotional regulation, replacing traditional character education with psychological techniques.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (see official agenda for contacts): ‘Pull the Loving Guidance LLC contract from the consent agenda for a public discussion. Parents have a right to know why we are spending money on SEL programs like ‘Conscious Discipline’ for our youngest learners instead of focusing on core academics.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $5,580

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
School-Based Telehealth Services Confirmed
The Family Success Center report boasts that ‘telehealth is seeing more students than ever,’ and the warrant register confirms a contract with ‘Telehealthdocs Medical Group.’ This creates a system for students to receive medical or mental health services at school without a parent present, a major violation of parental rights.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: Email Superintendent Brandy Charles (see official agenda for contact): ‘Regarding the district’s telehealth services, what is the exact policy for parental notification and consent BEFORE a student is seen by a provider? Parents must be present for any medical or mental health consultation with their child.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Medical Privacy

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
District Uses ‘Trauma-Informed’ Language to Justify Attendance Tracking
Resolution 2627-03 declares September ‘Attendance Awareness Month’ to combat ‘chronic absenteeism.’ The resolution justifies this focus by calling for a ‘comprehensive trauma-informed approach,’ a key ideological term that opens the door to family surveillance and intervention instead of simply enforcing attendance rules.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE HARD QUESTIONS: Email the Board (see official agenda for contacts): ‘Regarding Resolution 2627-03, what specific ‘trauma-informed’ interventions will be used on families of students with high absenteeism? Parents are concerned this is a pretext for data collection and home surveillance.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Family Privacy

District Buys Preschool Curriculum from SEL-Linked Vendor
The board is approving a $7,401.52 purchase from Frog Street Press for preschool curriculum. While focused on literacy, Frog Street is known to embed Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and other ideological concepts into its materials for very young children.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND REVIEW: Email Maria Ozuna, Director II of Instructional Services (see official agenda for contact): ‘Before the Frog Street Press curriculum is approved, I request that all materials be made available for parental review to ensure they are academically focused and free of inappropriate social-emotional content.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $7,401.52

| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Vague ‘Expanded Learning’ Plan Requires Manual Review
Item 10.1 asks for approval of the district’s Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELOP) Plan, which covers after-school activities, ‘student support,’ and ‘partnerships.’ The actual plan document was not attached to the agenda, preventing public review of what content and which outside groups will be involved with students.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file for Item 10.1 attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether the ELOP plan contains SEL, DEI, or other ideological programming. Email the Board to demand this item be tabled until the full plan is made easily accessible to the public.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Lack of Transparency
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 3) |
|
Ideological Buzzwords Confirmed in School Operations
Multiple school-level reports (Attachments 1-5) confirm the active use of ideological frameworks and buzzwords. Terms like ‘Whole-Child Success,’ ‘PBIS,’ ‘RTI,’ ‘Restorative Attendance,’ and ‘Empathetic Collaborator’ show that SEL and related concepts are already embedded in daily school life.
Recommended Action Plan
MONITOR: These concepts are already in the schools. Be aware of this language and ask your child’s principal and teachers for specific examples of how ‘PBIS’ or ‘Whole Child’ strategies are being used in the classroom.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Academics Replaced by Ideology

| Major Win (LEVEL 10) |

Huge Win: District Adopts Policy Protecting Parental Rights on Gender Identity
The Board is introducing revised policies (BP 5020, BP 5022, AR 5145.3) that explicitly cite the Mirabelli v. Bonta court decision. This groundbreaking change would prohibit district staff from socially transitioning a child or deceiving parents about a student’s gender identity at school, and allows parents to object to the use of names/pronouns inconsistent with their child’s sex.
How to Lock It In
SECURE THIS WIN: Pack the room for the first reading and email the Board (see official agenda for contacts): ‘Thank you for upholding parental rights by incorporating the Mirabelli v. Bonta precedent into district policy. We urge you to pass BP 5020, BP 5022, and AR 5145.3 without delay to protect our children and our rights.’
✅ Why It Matters: Protecting Family Sovereignty

Win: District Invests in Foundational Literacy Training for Teachers
The district is approving an agreement for professional development focused on ‘foundational literacy skills.’ The training covers phonics, phonemic awareness, and other core components of learning to read, representing a positive investment in academic excellence.
How to Lock It In
AMPLIFY THIS WIN: Show up or email the Board (see official agenda for contacts): ‘We applaud the board for investing in foundational literacy training for teachers under item 7.4. This focus on core academic skills is exactly what our students need. Thank you.’
✅ Why It Matters: Focus on Academics
