Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Littleton Elementary District (4278). We found 6 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Massive 1540% Budget Increase for Vague “Support Staff”
The district’s revised 2026-2027 budget (Attachment 35) includes a 1539.9% increase for “Support services – instructional staff” under Special Education, jumping from $56,300 to $923,256. This massive, unexplained increase could be used to hire SEL coaches or behavior interventionists without parental oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM & DEMAND ANSWERS: Email the Governing Board (see official agenda for contact info): ‘Regarding the FY2027 Budget Revision under Item 12, I demand a detailed public explanation for the 1540% increase in spending for Special Education Instructional Support Staff. What specific positions does this $867,000 increase fund?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $866,956 Increase

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Upcoming English Language Arts (ELA) Curriculum Adoption
The administration is presenting an overview of the process for adopting a new ELA curriculum. ELA is a primary channel for introducing ideological content. The attachment providing details on this critical process was not available for review.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ’10.A ELA Curriculum Overview’ attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm the process and timeline. Email the board: ‘Regarding Item 10.A, I demand maximum parental involvement and public review for the ELA adoption. We must see all proposed materials well in advance.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Reading List

| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Superintendent Attending Progressive Leadership Conference
The board is approving $3,386.80 for the Superintendent to attend the AASA National Conference on Education. AASA is a progressive national organization, and conference topics include ‘Poverty and Equity in Schools,’ which are often entry points for introducing DEI and SEL initiatives into district leadership and policy.
Recommended Action Plan
PUT THEM ON NOTICE: Email the Governing Board (see official agenda for contact info): ‘Regarding Consent Item 9.P, I am concerned about taxpayer funds being used for conferences that promote divisive equity and SEL frameworks. I expect a full report on what the Superintendent learns and how it will be applied, with full parental review before any new initiatives are adopted.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $3,386.80

District Adopts ‘Opt-Out’ Policy for Advanced Math
Under new Policy IHA, the district will automatically enroll 6th-8th grade students in advanced math courses. Parents are not asked for permission beforehand; instead, they must object to the placement after the fact. This ‘opt-out’ model sets a dangerous precedent of the district making decisions for your child without your prior consent.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND OPT-IN: Contact the Governing Board (see official agenda for contact info): ‘Regarding the first reading of Policy IHA under item 11.C, I support advanced academics but oppose any ‘automatic enrollment’ policy. Parental consent must be opt-in, not opt-out. Ask me first.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Parental Consent

✅ Wins to Defend
Good moves worth showing up to support so they stick.

| Major Win (LEVEL 8) |
|
WIN: Policy Protects Patriotic Youth Groups
The board is revising Policy JJAB to align with state law HB 2312. This change explicitly prohibits the district from denying access to ‘patriotic youth groups’ (like Boy Scouts) based on their membership requirements or their ‘oath of allegiance to God and country.’ This is a strong defense of traditional values and groups.
How to Lock It In
AMPLIFY THIS WIN: Show up or email the board to thank them for adopting the revisions to Policy JJAB under item 11.D. ‘Thank you for protecting access for patriotic youth groups and upholding traditional values in our schools. This is exactly the kind of leadership we want to see.’
✅ Why It Matters: Protecting Traditional Values
|
| Major Win (LEVEL 7) |
|
WIN: Increased Transparency for Board Agendas
The board is revising Policy BEDB to comply with state law HB 2876. This change prevents the board from hiding tax increases or major decisions from executive session inside the ‘Consent Agenda.’ This forces controversial items to be discussed and voted on individually in public.
How to Lock It In
SECURE THE WIN: Email the board to express support for the Policy BEDB revision under item 11.A. ‘Thank you for implementing the new Open Meeting Law requirements. This is a welcome and necessary step for transparency and accountability to parents and taxpayers.’
✅ Why It Matters: Increased Board Transparency
