Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Fallbrook Union Elementary. We found 7 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |
|
Student Surveillance Software on Consent Agenda
The district is set to approve a contract with BorderLAN for Linewize software, which allows teachers to monitor student screens in real-time and automatically scans all student online activity for ‘concerning content.’ This creates a digital surveillance system that treats every child like a suspect and could flag them for ideologically-defined ‘inappropriate’ content without parental knowledge.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is Item IX.11 on the Consent Agenda. Email the Governing Board (see Official Agenda link for contacts) and demand this item be pulled for a separate discussion and vote. Ask them directly: ‘Who defines ‘concerning content,’ and who will have access to this massive collection of student data? We do not consent to 24/7 surveillance of our children.’

Over $400,000 for Outsourced Mental Health Services
Buried in the Purchase Order report (Item IX.2) are multiple large contracts with ‘The Stepping Stones Group’ totaling over $400,000 for therapy and behavioral health services. This outsources core student services to a third-party company, potentially operating in schools without direct parental presence or explicit consent for every interaction.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: This vendor is hidden in the Purchase Order list under the Consent Agenda. Email the Governing Board (see Official Agenda link for contacts): ‘I demand to know the full scope of the $400k+ in services from The Stepping Stones Group. What parental consent is required before a child receives services from these outside contractors?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $400,465.40

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
$220k Student Data-Mining Software Purchase
The district plans to spend $219,748 on software from Renaissance Learning, Inc., hidden in the Purchase Order report (Item IX.2). While presented as an academic tool, these platforms collect massive amounts of student data to build psychological and academic profiles on children, which can be used to push Social Emotional Learning (SEL) content.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: This is a huge expenditure hidden on the consent agenda. Email the Governing Board (see Official Agenda link for contacts): ‘Pull the $220k Renaissance Learning purchase from the Consent Agenda. Parents need to know what specific student data this software collects, who owns it, and if we have the right to delete it.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $219,748.98

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Contract with Ideological News Provider Newsela
The Purchase Order report (Item IX.2) includes an $8,230 contract for Newsela, a service that provides news articles for classroom use. Newsela has been widely criticized for curating articles with a strong political bias, inserting concepts like ‘systemic racism’ and gender ideology into what should be neutral reading practice.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Governing Board (see Official Agenda link for contacts): ‘I request the Newsela contract be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion. Parents deserve a public review of this vendor’s biased content before our tax dollars are spent on it.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $8,230.00
|
| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
AI-Powered Classroom Software Purchase
The district is spending $33,750 on ‘Brisk Teaching,’ an AI-powered software (Item IX.2). These new AI tools can collect vast amounts of student and teacher data to ‘personalize’ learning, creating a surveillance and data-mining risk with little transparency or parental oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the Governing Board (see Official Agenda link for contacts): ‘Regarding the $33,750 contract for ‘Brisk Teaching’ AI software, what is the district’s data privacy agreement with this vendor? Who owns the student data this AI collects, and what is the parental opt-out process?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $33,750.00

| ALERT (LEVEL 3) |
|
‘Parent University’ Program Presentation
The Director of Expanded Learning will present a ‘Parent University’ program. While this could be a helpful resource, these programs are sometimes used to ‘re-educate’ parents on the district’s views on equity, discipline, and gender, rather than empowering them with tools to hold the district accountable.
Recommended Action Plan
Monitor: Attend the presentation (Item III.1) or watch the recording. Pay close attention to the language used and the topics covered. Is this about partnership or pushing an agenda?

Heritage Month Resolution with ‘Equity’ Language
The board is voting on a resolution for Hispanic Heritage Month that includes the keywords ‘equity’ and ‘inclusion.’ The resolution directs the Superintendent to distribute ‘educational resources,’ which could be used to introduce controversial political theories into the classroom under the cover of a cultural celebration.
Recommended Action Plan
Monitor: This is a good opportunity to ask the district to publicly list the ‘educational resources’ that will be used for Hispanic Heritage Month. Email the Governing Board (see Official Agenda link for contacts): ‘We support celebrating Hispanic heritage with a focus on history and culture, not political agendas. Please ensure the curriculum is transparent and age-appropriate.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Ideological Curriculum Creep
