ParentSquare Pride notice draws criticism from resident at Boquet Valley board meeting
Summary
A resident, Ray Rice, told the board he found a ParentSquare notice advertising a Pride event inappropriate for elementary students and asked the board to review what is being sent to families via district communications.
During the meeting’s public comment period Ray Rice of 921 Stevenson Road addressed the board about a ParentSquare notice advertising a Pride event that he said reached elementary families. "I feel like our elementary students should be worried about cookies and birthday cakes and baseball instead of a pride event," Rice said, and asked the board to consider whether the district should be promoting that content to younger students.
Board leadership acknowledged the comment and said public feedback would be taken under advisement; no immediate policy change or vote resulted from the comment. The district’s public-comment procedure requires commenters to state their name and address and to limit remarks; the board said opinions and concerns offered by the public will be considered and taken under advisement.
No district staff offered a formal response in the meeting record beyond acknowledging receipt of the comment. The matter remains a public concern raised during the meeting rather than a formal agenda item.
