District Plan May Contain Hidden Agendas
The board is voting on the District Improvement Plan, a key document that sets priorities for the entire year. Without the plan being public, taxpayers and parents cannot see if it includes new spending on consultants or embeds controversial concepts like DEI or SEL into the district’s official goals.
Response
INVESTIGATE: Open the file for Action Item 4 attached in the Official Agenda (linked above). Search the document for terms like ‘equity,’ ‘social-emotional learning,’ ‘DEI,’ and ‘consultants’ to see where the district plans to spend its energy and your money.
💰 Impact: Potential Mission Creep

Public Comment Time Restricted
The board limits public comment to two minutes per person and requires speakers to sign up by email at least 10 minutes before the meeting starts. These rules can discourage participation by making it harder for busy parents and taxpayers to speak before a vote.
Response
Contact the A+ Academy Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Please extend public comment time to three minutes and allow in-person sign-ups until the meeting begins to ensure all voices can be heard.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Public Access

Vague Student Truancy Tracking System
The board is voting on a “Laserfiche Truancy Enhancement” system without providing public details on the contract. This could be a simple software update or a more invasive student data tracking system, but parents cannot know from the agenda.
Response
INVESTIGATE: Open the file for Action Item 2 attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to see what student data this system collects and who it is shared with. Email the board: ‘Please postpone the vote on the Truancy Enhancement until the full contract and data privacy implications are made public.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Student Data Collection
