Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Compton Unified. We found 8 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |
|
District to Contract with Controversial SEL Data-Mining Firm
The district is signing a $25,000 contract with Panorama Education, Inc., a highly controversial vendor known for data-mining students through invasive Social Emotional Learning (SEL) surveys. Even though this contract is for a “math” tool, any relationship with Panorama opens the door to their core business of collecting and analyzing sensitive psychological data on your children.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: We need 50 moms at Tuesday’s meeting. Email the Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Vote NO on the Panorama Education contract, Item I.19. This vendor’s business model is based on data-mining children, and they have no place in our district, regardless of the product they are selling.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $25,000.00

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
School-Based Mental Health Screenings Without Parental Consent
The district is continuing its partnership for school-based mental health services, which includes “mental health screening” of students. This opens the door for the school to screen, diagnose, and potentially treat your child for mental health issues without your direct involvement or consent, creating a permanent health record you don’t control.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a major parental rights issue. Email the Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding Item I.13, I demand to know the exact process for obtaining prior, written, informed parental consent before any student is subjected to a mental health screening. We do not co-parent with the government.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

$165k Plan to Replace Discipline with Behavioral Intervention
The district is spending $165,000 in federal Title IV funds on “Positive Behavior Intervention and Support” (PBIS) training. This is a key component of the “Multi-Tiered System of Supports” (MTSS) which often replaces traditional discipline with subjective, “culturally responsive” behavioral interventions and creates detailed data files on students’ social and emotional states.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding Item I.8, I demand the $165,000 PBIS contract be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a full discussion. Parents deserve to know how this system will change discipline policies and what specific data will be collected on our children’s behavior.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $165,000 (Federal Strings Attached)

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
District to Spend $21k on “Equitable Math” Training
The district is spending $21,000 on a consultant for “Equitable Mathematics” training. This is a red flag for programs that water down math instruction, remove advanced or honors classes, and inject social justice concepts into a core academic subject, all in the name of “equity.”
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding Item I.9, what specific changes to the math curriculum will result from the “Partnership for Equitable Mathematics Acceleration”? Will this partnership lead to the elimination of accelerated or honors math tracks?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $21,000 (Federal Strings Attached)
|
| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
District to Buy Student Movement Tracking Software
The district is spending $17,270 on “Minga” software to track student attendance and “monitor student movement” on campus. This is a digital surveillance system that will create a detailed record of your child’s location and activities throughout the school day, treating them with suspicion rather than trust.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding Item I.21, what specific data will the Minga platform collect on students? Who will have access to this data, and how long will it be stored? Parents must have the right to opt their children out of this invasive tracking system.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $17,270.00
|
| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
SEL Programming Disguised as ‘Wellness’ Theater
The district is approving a “no-cost” agreement with Imagination Stage Inc. to bring plays and workshops on mental health and resilience to students. This program explicitly aims to increase “social and emotional learning” skills, using theater to teach subjective values and emotional concepts that belong in the home.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding Item I.6, parents must be able to review the full scripts and workshop materials from Imagination Stage Inc. before they are presented to students. Please provide a clear opt-in process for this non-academic programming.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: SEL Through Theater
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
District Expands Social Emotional Learning (SEL) Staff
The district is introducing a new class of interns for its “Social Emotional Intern Institute.” This signals a deeper investment in Social Emotional Learning (SEL) programs, which often replace academics with subjective, values-based instruction and psychological profiling.
Recommended Action Plan
Monitor: Ask the board what the specific duties of these ‘Social Emotional’ interns will be and which curriculum they will use. Email the Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding Item G.2, what specific curriculum and training will the Social Emotional Interns use, and will parents have the right to review all materials and opt their children out?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: SEL Program Expansion

Good moves worth showing up to support so they stick.

| Major Win (LEVEL 8) |
|
WIN: Board Creates Permanent School Safety Committee
The Board is establishing a permanent School Safety Committee to provide focused oversight on campus security, emergency preparedness, and violence prevention. This is a fantastic move that prioritizes the real, physical safety of our children and creates a dedicated channel for parental input on these critical issues.
How to Lock It In
Show up to thank the Board and get this on the record so it can’t be quietly reversed. Email the Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Thank you for establishing a permanent School Safety Committee (Item I.27). We look forward to engaging with this committee to ensure our schools are physically secure for all students and staff.’
✅ Why It Matters: Increased Oversight
