Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Lucia Mar Unified. We found 7 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |
|
Policies Insert ‘Gender Identity’ Ideology
The district is proposing new language in the ‘Dress and Grooming’ (BP 5132) and ‘Hate-Motivated Behavior’ (BP 5145.9) policies. These changes would formally protect a student’s right to dress according to their ‘gender identity or gender expression’ and define criticism of it as ‘hate-motivated behavior,’ potentially without parental knowledge or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a First Reading. We must stop it now. Sign up for public comment and email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘I oppose the proposed revisions to BP 5132 and BP 5145.9 in Item XIII.3. The district must not create policies on gender identity that exclude parents.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Parental Rights
|
| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
Curriculum Policies Promote Ideological Materials
Multiple proposed policy changes (BP 6141, BP 6161.1, AR 6161.1, BP 6161.11) would prevent the district from rejecting instructional materials that promote LGBTQ+ topics. This effectively creates a mandate to include these materials and weakens parents’ ability to ensure curriculum is age-appropriate and academically focused.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND A VOTE-NO: This is a First Reading. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Vote NO on the curriculum policy revisions in Item XIII.3 (BP 6141, BP 6161.1, AR 6161.1, BP 6161.11). Parents, not activists, should guide the selection of instructional materials for our children.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Loss of Parental Curriculum Review
|
| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Policies Embed ‘Restorative Justice’ and SEL
Under the guise of ‘Bullying’ (AR 5131.2) and ‘Conflict Resolution’ (BP 5138) policies, the district is formalizing Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and ‘restorative justice’ programs. These approaches often replace traditional discipline with therapeutic techniques and focus on feelings over accountability.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a second and final reading. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Vote NO on the policy revisions in Item XIII.2, specifically AR 5131.2 and BP 5138. Keep social emotional programming out of our discipline policies and focus on academic achievement and student safety.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Replacing Discipline with Therapy
|
| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The agenda lists a $6.3 million ‘Ratification of Expenditures’ under the Consent Calendar. The detailed report listing what this money was spent on was not included in the public agenda packet, preventing any meaningful review by parents.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached to Item XI.3 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to see if the full expenditure report is available there. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘I demand the detailed expenditure report for Item XI.3 be made easily accessible to the public before the vote. Parents have a right to know how our tax dollars are being spent.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $6,381,848.33
|
| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The agenda includes a second reading of ‘AR 0510 School Accountability Report Card’ and a first reading of ‘BP 6159.2 Nonpublic, Nonsectarian School and Agency Services for Special Education’. The full text of these revised policies was not included in the agenda packet, making public review impossible.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the files attached in the Official Agenda (linked above for items XIII.2 and XIII.3) to confirm whether they contain sensitive policy changes. The public cannot provide meaningful input on policies they cannot read.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Transparency
|
| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Budget Report Mentions ‘Community Schools’
The district’s budget report details an $8.46 million ‘Student Support’ grant. One of the allowable uses for this money is ‘community schools,’ a model that can bring outside social services and programming into schools, often without direct parental oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND DETAILS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding the SSPDD Block Grant in Item XII.6, what portion of the $8.46M is being considered for ‘community schools,’ and what specific partners or programs are being evaluated? Parents must be involved before any such programs are funded.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $8.46M (State Grant)
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Public Hearing on Textbook Sufficiency
The Board is holding its legally required public hearing to declare that every student has sufficient textbooks and instructional materials. This is a key opportunity for parents to hold the district accountable and ensure materials are adequate and appropriate.
Recommended Action Plan
PARTICIPATE AND VERIFY: Attend the public hearing for Item XII.4 to ensure the board’s declaration of ‘sufficient materials’ is accurate for your child’s classroom. This is your chance to get on the record if your child lacks necessary, standards-aligned textbooks.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Lack of Parental Oversight
