| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |
|
Massive $2.4M Contract for “Behavior Stabilization”
The district is approving a $2,429,020 contract with ‘Connections Behavior Planning & Intervention’ for vague ‘behavior stabilization services.’ This is a massive expenditure for an outside vendor to intervene with students, potentially creating a system that operates without full parental knowledge or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is on the Consent Agenda (Item 2.5). Email superintendent@fwps.org and the Board: ‘I demand the $2.4M contract with Connections Behavior be pulled for a separate vote. Parents deserve a full public presentation on this vendor’s methods and parental consent protocols before any money is spent.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $2,429,020

District Approving $109k for Student Surveillance Software
A contract for $109,095 with Gaggle.net is on the agenda. Gaggle uses AI to scan student emails, chats, and documents on school-issued accounts, flagging keywords for administrators. This system treats every child like a suspect and is a major violation of student privacy.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email superintendent@fwps.org and the Board: ‘Regarding the Gaggle contract (Item 2.5), who owns the student data collected? Provide the specific parental opt-out form for this surveillance program before it is approved.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

District Hires “Social Emotional Learning Facilitator”
The personnel report confirms the hiring of a ‘Social Emotional Learning Facilitator’ who will work in the district’s Equity department. This creates a new, salaried position dedicated to promoting SEL ideology, embedding a political agenda into the district’s operations.
Recommended Action Plan
EMAIL THE BOARD: Contact the school board (see district website for emails) and email superintendent@fwps.org: ‘Why are we spending money on an SEL Facilitator (Personnel Report, Area 1) instead of academic tutors? Our children need to learn reading and math, not ideology.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Activism

District Buys ‘CharacterStrong’ SEL Curriculum for $31k
The district is spending $31,759 on ‘CharacterStrong,’ a well-known Social Emotional Learning (SEL) curriculum. This program diverts classroom time and taxpayer funds from core academics to focus on subjective emotional and social skills training.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: This is hidden in the Consent Agenda (Items 2.3 & 2.5). Email superintendent@fwps.org and the Board: ‘I demand the CharacterStrong contract be pulled for a separate discussion and vote. Parents have a right to know what SEL curriculum is being purchased.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $31,759.31

District Pays $39k for “PBIS Rewards” System
The district is paying Navigate360 over $39,000 for a ‘PBIS Rewards’ system. PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) is often a vehicle for implementing SEL and data-mining student behavior, creating a social credit-style system in schools.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Email superintendent@fwps.org and the Board: ‘Regarding the Navigate360 payment (Item 2.3), how does this system track student behavior, what data is collected, and who has access to it? Parents must be able to opt-out of this data collection.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $39,008.10

District Pays for ‘Second Step’ SEL Program
A payment of $5,739 is scheduled to ‘Committee for Children’ for their ‘Second Step’ program. Second Step is one of the most widely used Social Emotional Learning (SEL) curriculums, which teaches children controversial concepts about identity and social justice instead of focusing on academics.
Recommended Action Plan
EMAIL THE BOARD: Contact the school board (see district website for emails) and email superintendent@fwps.org: ‘I oppose the purchase of the Second Step SEL program (Item 2.5). Our schools must prioritize academic excellence, not social engineering.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $5,739.70

Embedding Gender Ideology into Career & Tech Ed
The updated Career and Technical Education (CTE) policy now includes specific non-discrimination language for ‘gender expression’ and ‘gender identity.’ This is a backdoor method to inject ideological concepts into practical, career-focused classes where they don’t belong.
Recommended Action Plan
EMAIL THE BOARD: Contact the school board (see district website for emails): ‘Regarding Policy 2170, please explain how adding ‘gender identity’ language to the CTE policy helps students prepare for a career. Keep ideology out of technical training.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Politicizing Career Ed

District Sending Staff to CASEL for SEL Training
The district is paying $1,800 for staff to attend a conference by CASEL, the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning. CASEL is the primary organization creating and promoting the SEL agenda that is replacing traditional academics nationwide.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email superintendent@fwps.org and the Board: ‘I do not want my child taught by staff trained by the political activists at CASEL (Items 2.3 & 2.5). What is the district’s process for parents to opt their children out of all SEL instruction?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $1,800
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Superintendent Pushing “Whole Child” Ideology
The superintendent’s presentation titled ‘Schools Can’t Do It Alone’ signals a move toward the ‘community schools’ model. This approach often brings outside social and medical services into schools, positioning them to serve children without direct parental involvement or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
Monitor: Pay close attention to Superintendent Pfeiffer’s presentation (Item 3.1). Be prepared to oppose any future proposals for school-based clinics or services that lack strict parental consent requirements.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Bypassing Parents
