🚩Watchlist (LEVEL 6)
Requires Verification

Undisclosed Resolution on Parent Rights Law
📅 Scheduled Action
The board is scheduled to vote on a “Resolution Regarding Senate Bill 12 and Parent Rights” without publishing the text of the resolution in advance. This prevents parents and taxpayers from knowing if the board is supporting state law or creating loopholes to undermine it.
Response

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the district office and demand the full text of the resolution for Item 8 be posted online immediately. ‘Taxpayers deserve to read the text of any resolution regarding state law and parental rights before the board votes on it.’

💰 Impact: Undermining State Law
ALERT (LEVEL 4)
Requires Verification

Vague “Reorganization” of School Board
📅 Scheduled Action
The agenda lists a vote on “Reorganizations of the Board” with no further explanation. This could be a routine election of officers, or it could be a political maneuver to change board rules or committee structures to consolidate power and reduce accountability.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the district office to ask for clarification on Item 12. ‘What specific actions are included in the ‘Reorganizations of the Board’? This item should not be voted on until the public understands its full scope.’

💰 Impact: Reduced Accountability
ALERT (LEVEL 4)
Requires Verification

New Process for School Library Book Buys
📅 Scheduled Action
The board is voting on the “Procurement of School Library Materials” without providing details on the selection criteria or vendors. This process determines what books are available to students, and a lack of transparency can allow politically charged or age-inappropriate materials into school libraries.
Response

ASK FOR THE POLICY: Contact the district office regarding Item 7. ‘Please provide the public with the proposed policy or criteria for procuring library materials before the board takes a vote. Parents have a right to know how books are selected for their children.’

💰 Impact: Politicized School Libraries
