Regular Meeting
The meeting began with a pledge of allegiance led by a student. Key agenda items included the adoption of the agenda and the approval of the minutes from the December 9th, 2025 regular board meeting, which included a minor revision regarding comments made by a board member. The public comments section featured several speakers addressing the potential implementation of PragerU materials in classrooms. Speakers expressed strong opposition, citing concerns about the organization's conservative political viewpoints, promotion of specific values, and alleged dissemination of misinformation and propaganda, particularly regarding subjects like climate change and perceived anti-atheist bias. One speaker recommended a supplementary book by Sarah Prager as an alternative resource. The board also received a presentation recognizing April Raguendon from Dr. Douglas K. Fletcher Elementary School as the 2026 California Teacher of the Year. Finally, a representative from PragerU presented information regarding their supplemental materials, including the PragerU Bookfare in a box resource for the Rise Alto Ed program.
