District Adopts National Education Association (NEA) Code of Ethics

Under agenda item J.6, the Board is voting on a new ‘Professional Standards’ exhibit that replaces existing ethics rules with the code from the National Education Association (NEA), a highly political national union. This new code introduces ideologically charged terms like ‘equitable opportunities’ and ‘inclusive environment’ as guiding principles for all district staff. This is a foundational shift that opens the door for political activism to be defined as ‘professional conduct.’

$718,891 Contract for SEL and Student Support Systems

Hidden in the Consent Agenda under Item K.5 is a massive $718,891.20 contract (Agreement 84) with a vendor called Elevo. The contract is for implementing a ‘Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS)’ and promoting ‘social-emotional development.’ MTSS is often a vehicle for student surveillance and behavioral engineering, while SEL programs replace traditional academics with subjective emotional lessons.

District Hires ‘Anti-Racist’ Trainers for Student Mental Health

Consent Agenda Item K.5 includes contracts (Agreements 80 & 96) with two consultants, Dr. Wendy Ashley and Dr. Allen Lipscomb, to train staff on ‘suicide risk assessment.’ Public records show these consultants specialize in Critical Race Theory, ‘anti-racist practice,’ and social justice ideology. This sensitive mental health training is being used as a Trojan horse to inject radical politics into how the district handles students in crisis.

Staff Trained in ‘Culturally Responsive’ Student Therapy

Under Consent Item K.11, the district is sending five school social workers to a training called ‘Modular Approach to Therapy for Children (MATCH).’ The training (SDR A0255) explicitly includes ‘culturally responsive practices’ and integration with MTSS, further embedding therapeutic interventions and identity politics into the school day. This positions school staff to act as therapists to your child, guided by a political lens.

District Approves AI Writing Assessment Tool

Consent Item K.6 includes a $19,691.10 purchase order (PO 16) for a subscription to ‘Enlighten AI Education Incorporated’ for writing assessment. This means an AI will be reading, analyzing, and grading student work. This raises serious questions about who owns your child’s data, what biases the AI is trained on, and how their privacy will be protected.

Policy Update Inserts ‘Student Well-Being’ Euphemism

Item J.5 is a first reading of an updated ‘Professional Standards’ policy. While the policy focuses on staff misconduct, the new preamble adds vague language about promoting the ‘well-being of district students.’ This term is a common euphemism used to justify Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and other non-academic, psychological programming in schools.
