Secret ‘No Cost’ Mental Health Services in Schools
The board is approving a contract with Daybreak Medical PC to provide “mental health services to District students and their families” at “no cost to the District.” This model often works by billing insurance or Medicaid directly, creating a school-based clinic that can provide services to students without parents being present or fully informed.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a critical threat to parental rights. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Vote NO on contract 2627-0364-00 with Daybreak Medical. We will not allow school-based clinics to provide mental health services to our children without explicit, session-by-session parental consent and presence.’

‘Racial Equity’ Mandated as Filter for All Curriculum
A report on failing 3rd-grade reading scores (Item 18.1) reveals a district “Guardrail” policy that forbids any curriculum or program that doesn’t “prioritize educational and racial equity.” This forces all subjects, including basic reading and math, to be taught through a political lens, replacing academic focus with ideological indoctrination.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This ‘Guardrail’ proves the district is prioritizing ideology over academics. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘I demand you rescind Guardrail 3. Our children need to learn to read with proven methods, not be subjected to a ‘racial equity’ political filter on every single subject.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Academic Excellence

District Spending $132,850 on ‘Restorative Justice’
The district plans to pay “Love Beyond Limits” $132,850 for a “restorative justice and youth mentoring program” (Contract 2627-0332-00). Restorative justice often replaces real consequences for misbehavior with therapy sessions, which can undermine discipline and safety in schools.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Pull contract 2627-0332-00 from the Consent Agenda. Parents deserve a public discussion on why you are spending $132,850 on restorative justice instead of academic recovery.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $132,850

Over $2.2M for Behavior and Mental Health Staffing
The district is approving two contracts with Procare Therapy totaling over $2.2 million ($1,548,000 + $698,400) for “Behavior Support” and “Emotional Disability” staffing. This massive spending on mental health signals a shift from academics to therapeutic management of students, often using SEL and behavior tracking systems.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding contracts 2627-0362-00 and 2627-0363-00, what specific SEL framework will Procare Therapy staff use? Parents must have the right to opt their children out of any therapeutic or behavioral interventions.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $2,246,400

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Mass Hiring of 41 Psychologists and Social Workers
The personnel report includes hiring 22 new psychologists and 19 new social workers. This large-scale hiring indicates a major expansion of the district’s mental health and intervention apparatus, which can lead to increased student surveillance and services provided without full parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS NOW: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the mass hiring of psychologists and social workers in item 15.2, what is the purpose of the ‘Tucker’ location, and what specific programs will these new hires implement? Will parents be required to consent before their child meets with them?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Student Privacy

District Pays $135,000 to Student Data-Mining Group
The district is paying $135,000 to CORE Districts for a “Breakthrough Success Community program.” CORE Districts is a data collaborative known for promoting Social Emotional Learning (SEL) surveys and collecting sensitive, non-academic data on students across California.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding contract 2627-0375-00 with CORE Districts, what specific student data will be shared? Parents demand a clear and simple opt-out form for any surveys or data collection associated with this program.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $135,000 + Student Data

Vague Title — Manual Review Required for Parent Handbook
The board is approving the “Guidelines for Families and Students handbook,” which contains all required annual notifications for parents. The actual handbook is not attached to the agenda, preventing parents from reviewing critical policies on curriculum, health, and privacy before approval.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes. The district must not pass a parent handbook without making the text easily available for public review well before the vote.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Policies
