District Approving In-School Telehealth Without Parents
Buried in the purchase order report under Item 17.b, the district is paying $172,176 for “Hazel Health,” a service providing in-school telehealth, including mental health services. This allows for medical services to be administered to students on campus without a parent being physically present, creating a serious violation of parental oversight in their child’s healthcare.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a critical threat to parental rights. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘I demand Item 17.b, specifically PO 270000001254 for Hazel Health, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a full public discussion. We do not consent to in-school medical services for our children without a parent present. Vote NO.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $172,176

| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |

Mandating LGBTQ+ and “Implicit Bias” Training for Teachers
Policy 4131 is being updated to require annual “LGBTQ+ cultural competency” training for all 7-8th grade staff. It also provides legal cover for “bias mitigation training,” where teachers are often pressured to confess to “personal bias,” embedding controversial ideology into professional development.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item 21.d, parents have a right to know what is in the “LGBTQ+ cultural competency” and “bias mitigation” trainings. We demand that all training materials be made public for parental review before this policy is approved.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Mandatory Ideological Training

Policy Update Opens Door for Biological Males in Girls’ Sports
The update to Policy 0410 incorporates language from AB 932, which prohibits discrimination based on “sex or gender” in youth athletics. This is the legal framework used to force schools to allow biological males to compete against girls, destroying fair play and safety in female sports.
Recommended Action Plan
PROTECT GIRLS’ SPORTS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item 21.a, the Board must protect female athletes. Please amend the policy update to clarify that athletic teams will be designated based on biological sex to ensure fairness and safety. Do not sacrifice our daughters’ opportunities.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Girls’ Sports at Risk

District Spending $64,200 on “Social-Emotional” Student Coaching
Item 18.h approves a $64,200 contract with “On Course Family Coaching” to provide “social-emotional learning (SEL) services” and “individualized coaching support” to students. This diverts funds and focus from academics to psychological interventions and “life-readiness skills” that are the domain of parents.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND A ROLL-CALL VOTE: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘I demand Item 18.h be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and vote. Taxpayer money should fund academics, not subjective “social-emotional” coaching. Vote NO on this contract.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $64,200

District Renews $84,250 “Capturing Kids’ Hearts” SEL Program
Buried in the Purchase Order report (Item 17.b) is an $84,250 renewal for The Flippen Group’s “Capturing Kids’ Hearts.” This is a well-known Social Emotional Learning (SEL) program that focuses on relationship-building and behavioral modification over academic instruction.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Pull Item 17.b from the Consent Agenda. Parents deserve to know why the district is spending $84,250 on the Flippen Group’s SEL program (PO 270000001096) instead of on academic fundamentals.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $84,250

District Renews Student Behavior Tracking System
Item 18.i is a $16,250 renewal for the School Wide Information System (SWIS), which tracks and analyzes student office referral data. This system is part of the PBIS/MTSS framework and creates a permanent digital record of student behavior, often without full parental context or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item 18.i, what are the parental notification and consent policies for the SWIS data collection system? We demand a clear and simple opt-out process for this student surveillance.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $16,250

New “Virtual Phone” Feature Could Enable Secret Staff-Student Communication
Item 20.a approves a $21,001 “Virtual Phone” feature for the ParentSquare app, giving staff virtual numbers to communicate directly with families. This creates a risk of unmonitored, off-the-record communication between staff and students, bypassing official channels and parental oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND SAFEGUARDS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Before approving Item 20.a, what specific policies will be in place to ensure the ParentSquare Virtual Phone is not used for unmonitored one-on-one communication between staff and students? We need a policy that all communication includes parents.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $21,001.49

District Spending $10,500 on Art Lessons Laced with SEL
Item 18.g approves a $10,500 contract with Luna Arts & Ed to integrate “Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and the arts.” The rationale explicitly states the goal is to provide “engaging SEL art lessons” and teach staff “SEL strategies,” using art class as a vehicle for psychological programming.
Recommended Action Plan
PULL FROM CONSENT: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Pull Item 18.g from the Consent Agenda. Art class should be about art, not “Social Emotional Learning.” Vote NO on using Prop 28 funds for SEL programming.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $10,500

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
Item 17.a, “Approval of Conference Meeting Requests Schedule No. 5,” has a vague title and no attached documents explaining which conferences staff are attending or what they cost. These trips often serve as vectors for ideological training and are funded by taxpayers.
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

| Major Win (LEVEL 9) |

WIN: Policy Update Confirms Parental Opt-Out Rights
A proposed update to Administrative Regulation 1312.3 contains a major win for parents. It explicitly states that “parents/guardians are not precluded from opting a student out of specified instructional content,” formally codifying a critical parental right into district procedure.
How to Lock It In
SECURE THIS WIN: Show up to thank the Board for this language in Item 21.b.1. Publicly state your support during comments: ‘We strongly support the new language in AR 1312.3 affirming our right to opt our children out of instructional content. Thank you for protecting parental rights.’
✅ Why It Matters: Strengthened Parental Rights

WIN: New Policy Prohibits Biased, Partisan Materials
The update to Policy 0410 incorporates language from AB 715, requiring instructional materials to be “factually accurate… and be consistent with accepted standards of professional responsibility, rather than advocacy, personal opinion, bias, or partisanship.” This gives parents a powerful new tool to hold the district accountable for keeping ideology out of the classroom.
How to Lock It In
AMPLIFY THIS WIN: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) to support Item 21.a: ‘We strongly support the new AB 715 language in Policy 0410 requiring materials to be free from bias and partisanship. We expect the Board to vigorously enforce this to restore focus on academics.’
✅ Why It Matters: Tool to Fight Indoctrination
