District to Spend $296k on New Parent Surveillance Platform
Under Consent Item 21.A, the board will approve a $296,375 contract with ParentSquare. The platform explicitly connects student IDs to survey responses, creating a permanent data file on your family’s feedback and opinions under the guise of ‘improving data accuracy.’
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Education (see the Official Agenda link for contacts): ‘I demand Consent Item 21.A be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. Parents will not approve a data-mining platform that links our opinions to our children’s permanent records.’
💰 Impact: $296,375.00

New ‘Emergency’ Plan Makes Remote Learning and SEL Permanent
Buried in Consent Item 24.A is the new ‘Instructional Continuity Plan,’ which gives the district a permanent framework to switch to remote learning during any ’emergency.’ The plan explicitly integrates ‘Social Emotional Learning’ (SEL) and ‘Multi-Tiered System of Supports’ (MTSS) into its emergency response, replacing academics when you have the least oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND A VOTE: Email the Board of Education (see the Official Agenda link for contacts): ‘Pull Consent Item 24.A for a full public discussion. Parents must have a say in a plan that replaces in-person learning and injects SEL into emergency protocols.’
💰 Impact: Loss of In-Person Instruction

Board to Accept $100k ‘Mental Health’ Blank Check
Consent Item 16.A accepts a $100,000 donation for La Mirada High School to be used for ‘Mental Health and/or discretion of the school.’ This is a massive slush fund with no guardrails, which could be used to fund school-based clinics, SEL programs, or gender ideology consultants without specific board approval.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY: Email the Board of Education (see the Official Agenda link for contacts): ‘Regarding Consent Item 16.A, the board must place strict guardrails on the $100,000 mental health fund. We demand a public plan for how this money will be spent before it is accepted.’
💰 Impact: $100,000.00

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
District to Ratify $29k Contract for After-School SEL Program
Consent Item 21.J asks the board to ratify a $29,000 contract with Parker Anderson Enrichment for an after-school program at Moffitt Elementary. The contract explicitly states the program includes ‘social emotional learning’ (SEL), injecting this ideology into enrichment time.
Recommended Action Plan
PULL THE ITEM: Email the Board of Education (see the Official Agenda link for contacts): ‘Pull Consent Item 21.J for a separate vote. Taxpayer money should fund academic enrichment, not social emotional learning experiments on our children.’
💰 Impact: $29,000.00

District Expands On-Campus Mental Health Staff
The Personnel Report under Consent Item 26.A includes the hiring of at least 15 ‘Interns, Master of Social Work.’ This expansion, funded by the state’s Youth Behavioral Health Initiative, dramatically increases the district’s capacity to provide on-campus mental health services that may occur without full parental knowledge or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND A PARENTAL CONSENT POLICY: Email the Board of Education (see the Official Agenda link for contacts): ‘Before approving the Personnel Report in Item 26.A, the Board must pass a clear policy requiring explicit, written parental consent before any non-academic counseling or mental health service is provided to a student.’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |

Board to Approve Multi-Year Math Software Contract
Consent Item 21.K approves an $11,935 multi-year contract for IXL Learning math software at Eastwood Elementary. This adds more screen time to the school day, potentially replacing direct instruction from a teacher.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND PROOF OF ACADEMICS: Email the Board of Education (see the Official Agenda link for contacts): ‘Before voting on Item 21.K, please publish the independent, non-vendor-funded evidence that IXL produces academic gains, and state how much daily screen time this adds for Eastwood students.’
💰 Impact: $11,935.00

District to Ratify AI-Powered Reading Tutor Contract
Under Consent Item 21.D, the board will ratify a $12,950 contract for Amira Learning, an ‘AI-driven’ reading tutor. This program replaces teacher-led instruction with an algorithm and increases student screen time.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND EVIDENCE: Email the Board of Education (see the Official Agenda link for contacts): ‘Regarding Item 21.D, what is the independent evidence that this AI tutor is more effective than a certified teacher? Please publish the data and the daily screen time this adds before the next contract renewal.’
💰 Impact: $12,950.00

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
District Promotes ‘Say Something’ and ‘Start With Hello’ Programs
Item 5.B recognizes students for supporting Sandy Hook Promise initiatives like ‘Say Something’ and ‘Start With Hello.’ These programs, while sounding positive, are often entry points for Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and can encourage students to report on their peers, creating a culture of surveillance.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Ask your principal if your child’s school is participating in ‘Say Something’ or ‘Start With Hello’ week. These programs can collect sensitive data on students and should require parental opt-in, not opt-out.
💰 Impact: Student Surveillance Culture
