| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
District Using Charter to Pilot ‘Re-Engagement’ Program
The board is approving a new “nonclassroom-based” charter school for “high-risk” students that is packed with social-emotional programming. A clause in the contract (Section 21) requires the charter to train district staff on how to replicate this model in district schools, effectively using the charter as a testbed to bypass public input on new district programs.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: Contact Deidre Walsh, Director, Office of Charter Schools, at 619.725.7107 or dwalsh1@sandi.net. Ask: ‘Why is the district using a charter school as a pilot program for district-wide replication under Item H.1? Parents deserve a say before the district develops new ‘re-engagement’ models using our children as test subjects.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Bypassing Public Input

Charter Renewal Includes ‘Supporting LGBTQ Students’
The renewal petition for Empower Language Academy explicitly details its use of ideological programs like MTSS, social-emotional learning, and restorative practices. The petition also states the school has policies for “Supporting LGBTQ Students” and follows the “California Healthy Youth Act,” which can include comprehensive sex ed.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact Deidre Walsh, Director, Office of Charter Schools, at 619.725.7107 or dwalsh1@sandi.net. Ask: ‘Regarding Item H.4, what specific curriculum is used for ‘Supporting LGBTQ Students’ and the ‘California Healthy Youth Act’ at Empower Language Academy? Parents have a right to know exactly what is being taught.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Classroom Social Engineering

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |

Charter Network Guided by ‘Equity’ Consolidates Seven Schools
The High Tech High network is renewing its charter and merging seven schools into one. The school’s guiding principles are explicitly “equity, personalization, authentic work, and collaborative design,” embedding ideology at its core. Consolidating seven schools under a single charter reduces parental oversight and makes the governance structure less accountable.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK FOR ACCOUNTABILITY: Contact Deidre Walsh, Director, Office of Charter Schools, at 619.725.7107 or dwalsh1@sandi.net. Ask: ‘How will parents have a voice when seven High Tech High schools are merged under a single board in Item H.3? We are concerned that an ‘equity’ focus is replacing academic rigor.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Board Oversight

Board Opens Meetings with ‘Ongoing Colonization’ Statement
The board will open every meeting by acknowledging the land as stolen from the Kumeyaay people, citing “attempted genocide and ongoing impacts of colonization.” This frames the district’s work through a political, grievance-based lens instead of focusing on education.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE BOARD: Email the Board (see Official Agenda link for contacts): ‘Please explain how a statement on ‘ongoing colonization’ improves student reading scores. Board meetings should focus on academics, not political rituals. Please remove this from the agenda.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Political Activism

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
This is a public hearing for the renewal of the Harriet Tubman Village Charter School. The agenda itself is procedural, but the actual renewal petition document was not available for analysis.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) for the ‘Harriet Tubman Village Charter School’ renewal petition to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Policy
