District Approving $65,200 for SEL Program
Hidden inside the nearly $4.8 million Purchase Order list (Item 10.9) is a $65,200 payment to ‘THE FLIPPEN GROUP, L.L.C.’ for ‘Contracted Services’. This vendor is the creator of ‘Capturing Kids’ Hearts,’ a well-known Social Emotional Learning (SEL) program that shifts classroom focus from academics to feelings and behavior modification.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a critical vote to embed SEL. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Vote NO on the Purchase Order list in Item 10.9. We will not approve a $65,200 contract for the ‘Capturing Kids Hearts’ SEL program that prioritizes social engineering over academic excellence.’
💰 Impact: $65,200

Schools Codify SEL and DEI in Official Plans
Item 11.2 asks the Board to approve the ‘Single Plan for Student Achievement’ (SPSA) for all four district schools. These plans are not about academics; they are ideological roadmaps that formally embed ‘Capturing Kids’ Hearts’ SEL curriculum, ‘CORE (Community of Respect and Empathy)’ committees, and ‘DEI lessons’ into the schools’ official goals. The Middle School plan also includes the ‘Dolphin Community’ program, which past meeting minutes reveal is training on implicit bias and stereotypes.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM & DEMAND A ‘NO’ VOTE: This is the blueprint for ideological instruction. Email Superintendent Blake Silvers and the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Vote NO on Item 11.2. The SPSA plans must be rewritten to focus on core academics like reading, writing, and math, not SEL and DEI initiatives. We reject these ideological roadmaps for our children.’
💰 Impact: Replacing Academics

$3.5 Million Payment Hidden in Purchase Order List
Buried deep in the Purchase Order list for Item 10.9 is a massive $3,500,000 payment to ‘BANC OF AMERICA PUBLIC CAPITAL CORP’ for ‘Debt Service’. A payment of this magnitude should be its own transparent agenda item for discussion and a roll-call vote, not hidden in a list of routine purchases. This lack of transparency on major financial matters is a serious governance failure.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item 10.9, I demand the $3.5 million debt service payment (PO #270000000429) be pulled from the consent agenda for a separate discussion and vote. The public deserves a full explanation for any payment of this size.’
💰 Impact: $3,500,000

District Caps Public Comment at 20 Minutes
Under items 1.2, 5.1, and 9.1, the Board limits the total time for all public comments to just 20 minutes per session, regardless of how many parents wish to speak. This policy can be used to silence parent voices on controversial topics by simply running out the clock. Parents have a right to be heard by the officials they elected.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM & DEMAND TO BE HEARD: Sign up for public comment early. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘The 20-minute total time limit for public comment is an unacceptable restriction on parental rights. We demand this arbitrary cap be removed to ensure every parent who shows up can be heard by their elected representatives.’
💰 Impact: Silencing Parent Voices

Vague Title — Manual Review Required for Interfund Transfers
Item 10.6 asks the Board to authorize ‘Interfund Transfers’ for the entire school year, but the attached resolution file was not included in the public agenda packet. Given past concerns about a district deficit, parents have a right to know exactly which funds are being moved and why. This vote should not happen until the details are made public.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE & DEMAND DELAY: Open the file ‘Resolution 12 – Interfund Transfers FY 26-27.docx’ attached to Item 10.6 in the Official Agenda (linked above). If it is vague, email the Board: ‘Postpone the vote on Item 10.6 until the full details of all proposed interfund transfers are presented clearly to the public.’
💰 Impact: Financial Transparency

District Approving More Student Screen Time
The Purchase Order list in Item 10.9 includes payments for student-facing software from ‘Imagine Learning’ ($800) and ‘CORE Education’ ($2,000). Before approving more screen-based products, the district must provide parents with independent, non-vendor-funded evidence that these programs produce real academic gains. Parents also need to know how much daily instructional time with teachers and peers will be replaced by these screens.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND EVIDENCE: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Before voting on the Purchase Orders in Item 10.9, please publish the independent evidence of academic gains for the Imagine Learning and CORE Education software, and state the expected daily screen time per student these products will add.’
💰 Impact: More Classroom Screen Time

| ALERT (LEVEL 3) |

Vague Approval for All Student Field Trips
Item 10.8 asks the Board to approve an unspecified list of field trips and bus transportation for students. No attachment is provided detailing the destinations, dates, or educational purpose of these trips. Parents have a right to know where their children are being taken by the school.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The agenda for Item 10.8 should have an attachment listing the field trips. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask for the list of all field trips being approved under this item before the vote.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Locations
