Board to Vote on Secret Union Deals, Including Security Cameras
The Board is scheduled to approve four separate Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with teacher and employee unions. One of these agreements is explicitly about the use of security cameras on campus, but the text for all four MOUs has not been provided to the public. This prevents parents from knowing the new rules on student surveillance, teacher assignments, or physical education before they are approved.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and demand that Action Items XV.C, XV.D, XV.E, and XV.F be postponed until the full text of the MOUs are made public for parental review. ‘Parents have a right to know the details of union agreements, especially concerning security cameras, before you vote.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Student Surveillance

District Spending $35,000 on ‘Professional Learning’ Conference
Under the Consent Agenda, the district plans to spend up to $35,000 to send more than 30 staff members to a ‘PLC Conference.’ Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) are often used as a vehicle to introduce controversial ideologies like SEL, DEI, and ‘restorative practices’ into a district under the guise of teacher training.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and demand that Consent Item XIII.B be pulled for a separate discussion and vote. Ask the board: ‘What specific ideological frameworks, if any, will be taught at the PLC conference, and how will they be implemented in our classrooms?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $35,000

New ‘Wellness’ Partnership with Pepperdine University Hidden from Public
The district is entering a new partnership with Pepperdine University for a ‘Nutrition & Wellness’ program involving dietetic interns. While presented as ‘no cost,’ the term ‘wellness’ is often a trojan horse for collecting sensitive student data or introducing social-emotional programming, and the actual contract agreement was not attached for public review.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and request a copy of the contract with Pepperdine University mentioned in Consent Item XIII.F. Ask: ‘What specific services will these interns provide, what student data will they have access to, and is there a parental opt-out?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Student ‘Wellness’ Data

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |

Board to Grant Unspecified Authority for State Programs
Action Item XV.B asks the Board to authorize a district representative for ‘State Allocation Board-Administered Programs.’ The agenda provides no details or attachments explaining what these programs are or what authority is being granted. This is a blank check for the district to engage in state-level programs without specific public oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file for Resolution No. 26-27/06 attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm what authority is being granted. If it is vague or concerning, contact the District Office and demand the item be tabled until the public is fully informed.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Authority

Board Asked to Approve $49,000 Project After It’s Already Done
The board is being asked to ‘ratify’ a $49,000 roofing contract that was executed and completed before the board ever voted on it. While the repair may have been necessary, this ‘approve it after the fact’ process sets a dangerous precedent of bypassing public oversight and board accountability for spending.
Recommended Action Plan
MONITOR: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) to express concern about the process for Action Item XV.A. ‘The board’s job is to approve spending before it happens, not to rubber-stamp decisions already made behind closed doors. This must not become standard practice.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Bypassed Public Approval
