| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |

District Buys ‘PBIS Rewards’ Behavior Tracking Software
Buried in a $1.4M expense voucher on the consent agenda is a $5,658.35 payment to Navigate360 for “PBIS Rewards” software. This system tracks and rewards student behavior, creating a social credit system in the classroom and collecting sensitive data on your child.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘I demand Item 6.A, Voucher #2710, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion. Why is the district paying Navigate360 for a ‘PBIS Rewards’ social credit system without a public presentation on what data is collected and who owns it?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $5,658.35 (Your Child’s Data)

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The board is revising its policy on Department of Child Safety (DCS) interviews and custody under Item 7.E. The summary says it allows DCS to interview school employees, but the policy title and state law could also impact when and how DCS can interview students at school without parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘Policy 5-402 Department of Child Safety Interview and Custody 9-9-26.docx’ attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm the exact procedures for student interviews by DCS and what parental notification is required.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Interviews without Consent

| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The agenda lists a “Personnel Schedule” for approval, which includes hires, resignations, and stipends. The actual document is not included in the provided text, so it’s impossible to vet new hires for ideological backgrounds or check for controversial stipend assignments.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘9.9.2026 MUSD Board Meeting Personnel Schedule (2).pdf’ attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes or hires from activist organizations.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Hires

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
“Student Agency” and “Equity” in Accreditation Plan
The district’s accreditation report highlights “Access and Equity” and “Student Agency” as key areas. While presented academically, these terms are often used to introduce social-emotional programming that can sideline parents and replace academics.
Recommended Action Plan
MONITOR & QUESTION: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the Cognia Accreditation report, please define ‘Student Agency’ and clarify how the district will ensure that efforts to close ‘subgroup achievement gaps’ are focused on academic remediation, not on equity-based social programming.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Potential SEL Creep

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

| Major Win (LEVEL 8) |
|
District to Allow Patriotic Youth Groups in Schools
The board is updating its policy to explicitly permit patriotic youth groups to address students and distribute materials on campus. This is a significant win for community groups and promotes civic values, pushing back against restrictions that often only allow progressive groups access.
How to Lock It In
AMPLIFY THE WIN: Show up to thank the Board for approving Item 7.I. This policy provides a model for other districts to ensure groups like Boy Scouts and American Heritage Girls have the same access to students that other organizations do.

| Major Win (LEVEL 7) |
|
New Policy Requires Dyslexia Disclosure in IEPs
The board is revising policy to require that a student’s Individualized Education Plan (IEP) must state if they have been diagnosed with dyslexia. This forces the district to formally acknowledge a dyslexia diagnosis and increases transparency for parents of students with disabilities.
How to Lock It In
SUPPORT & SECURE: Email the Board (contact info on district website) to thank them for approving Item 7.J. This is a crucial step for parents fighting to get their children the specific support they need for dyslexia.
|
| Win (LEVEL 6) |
|
Parental Rights Policy Updated — Verification Needed
The board is updating its “Parent/Legal Guardian Rights in Education” policy to align with state law. This could be a positive step to codify and strengthen parental rights, but the actual text of the changes needs to be reviewed to confirm.
How to Lock It In
VERIFY THE WIN: Open the file ‘Policy 1-401 Parent_Legal Guardian Rights in Education.pdf’ in the Official Agenda (linked above). If it strengthens parental notification and curriculum review, prepare to thank the board and lock in this positive policy.
✅ Why It Matters: Policy Details Unknown
