Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Mercer Island School District. We found 6 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
Secret Revisions to Student Sexual Harassment Policy
The Board is discussing revisions to Policy 3205, ‘Sexual Harassment of Students Prohibited.’ However, the agenda states the actual text of the revised policy will not be attached until the day before the meeting, giving parents no time to review these critical changes.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a major policy change being pushed through without transparency. Email the School Board (see Official Agenda link): ‘Postpone the vote on Item 2.B, Policy 3205, until parents have at least two weeks to review the proposed language. We will not accept last-minute policy changes on student safety.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: No Time for Public Review

New ‘Safety’ Tech Enables Real-Time Student Tracking
The district is presenting its ‘Student Safety and Well-Being’ plan, which includes implementing Raptor Technologies software. This system allows for ‘real-time student accountability’ and tracking during school events, creating a new layer of digital surveillance on our children.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link for details) and ask: ‘Regarding Item 2.A and Raptor Technologies, who owns the student data collected by this system, how is it protected, and what is the specific parental opt-out policy for real-time student tracking?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Data Privacy

Sex Ed Curriculum for Special Needs Students
The ‘Student Safety’ presentation reveals the use of ‘FLASH Curriculum’ and ‘Circles Curriculum’ for neurodivergent students, teaching ‘consent and proper protest.’ FLASH is a known comprehensive sex education program, and its content is being adapted for vulnerable students, potentially without full parental review.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND REVIEW: Contact the School Board (see the Official Agenda link for details) and demand: ‘Parents must have the right to review the full FLASH and Circles curriculum mentioned in Item 2.A before it is used with any student. Please provide a link to all materials immediately.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Ideology in Special Education

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Millions in Spending Hidden in Consent Agenda
Item 4.B asks the Board to approve millions of dollars in ‘Warrants’ as part of a bundled consent vote. The agenda provides no list of the vendors being paid, preventing parents from knowing if their tax dollars are going to ideological consultants or controversial organizations.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the School Board (see Official Agenda link): ‘I demand Item 4.B, Warrants, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion. Parents deserve a public, detailed list of all vendors and payment amounts before you approve this spending.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Over $6M in Undisclosed Payments

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Board Appoints Members to ‘Equity Advisory Council’
Under Item 2.D, the Board is making assignments to its various committees for the year. These include a ‘Superintendent’s Equity Advisory Council (SEAC)’ and a ‘PTA Belonging & Voice Committee,’ which often serve as channels to push DEI and other political agendas into district policy.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND A VOICE: Contact the District Office (see Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item 2.D, who is being appointed to the Equity Advisory Council? We demand that parents who believe in academic excellence over ideology are given seats on these influential committees.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Ideological Influence Pipeline

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |

Board to Vote on State-Level Lobbying Platform
The Board is discussing its legislative priorities and voting platform for the Washington State School Directors’ Association (WSSDA) General Assembly. This means our local board is using its position and our tax dollars to engage in political lobbying at the state level.
Recommended Action Plan
MONITOR: Email the School Board (see Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item 2.E, please confirm that the Board’s WSSDA legislative platform will focus only on funding and local control, and will not advocate for or against any policies that undermine parental rights.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying
