District Renews $215,000+ Contract with Student Data-Mining Firm Panorama Education
Financial documents reveal the district is paying Panorama Education over $215,000 for its services. Panorama is a controversial vendor known for collecting sensitive student data through ‘Social Emotional Learning’ (SEL) surveys, creating detailed psychological profiles on children without full parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a critical threat to student privacy. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘I demand to know why the district is paying Panorama Education over $215,000 to collect psychological data on our children, especially without a competitive bid. Terminate this contract immediately. Vote NO on any budget that includes this vendor.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $215,353.80

Policy Allows Teachers to Voice Personal Opinions on Controversial Topics
Policy 2240, attached to Item 4.C, explicitly permits teachers to express their personal opinions on controversial issues in the classroom. While the policy states this should happen after student discussion, it gives a green light for educators to use their position of authority to influence students on sensitive political, social, or religious topics.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND POLICY CHANGE: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Policy 2240, referenced in Item 4.C, must be revised. Teachers should be neutral facilitators, not advocates for their personal beliefs in the classroom. Remove the provision allowing teachers to share personal opinions on controversial topics.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Classroom Politicization

District Pushes ‘Global Citizenship’ Over American Civics
The ‘Global Citizenship’ monitoring report (Item 4.D) reveals a district-wide focus on reframing academics through a globalist lens. The policy explicitly aims to teach students their ‘role, responsibilities, and place in a global society’ and links this goal to acquiring ‘social and emotional skills,’ confirming it’s a vehicle for SEL.
Recommended Action Plan
DEFEND AMERICAN VALUES: Contact the Board (see Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item 4.D, the district’s focus should be on academic excellence and American civics, not ‘Global Citizenship.’ I urge you to rescind Results Policy R-4 and restore the focus to preparing students to be informed citizens of the United States.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Replacing Civics with Activism

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |

Mandatory ‘Equity’ and ‘Belonging’ Training for All Staff
The Instructional Program report (Item 4.C) confirms that 100% of staff must participate in professional learning on ‘equity practices’ through a program now called ‘RUSD BELONG.’ This type of mandatory training often promotes divisive concepts about race and identity, creating a hostile environment for staff and students who hold traditional values.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY: Contact the Superintendent’s office (see Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item 4.C, I demand access to all training materials for the ‘RUSD BELONG’ program. Taxpayer funds should not be used for politically-charged staff indoctrination. What is being taught to our teachers?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Divisive Staff Indoctrination

Pattern of Spending on Social Emotional Learning (SEL) Vendors
Financial reports show a pattern of spending on multiple SEL vendors, including over $138,000 to ‘Center for the Collaborative Classroom,’ $33,600 to ‘Inner Explorer,’ and $20,979 to ‘Character Strong.’ This shows a systematic effort to embed SEL ideology into the district, often at the expense of academic instruction.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘I am concerned about the pattern of spending on SEL vendors found in the OE-6 Financial Report (Item 4.B). I request a full, public audit of all SEL-related spending and its academic impact. Our tax dollars should fund academics, not social engineering.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Over $192,000

District Deploys Suite of Student Data-Mining Assessment Tools
The Instructional Program report (Item 4.C) and its appendices reveal the district uses a wide array of digital assessment tools, including Amira, HMH Growth Measure, and AimswebPlus. These platforms collect vast amounts of data on student learning, behavior, and even speech patterns, creating privacy risks and normalizing constant digital surveillance.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask for the Deputy Chief of Assessment, Curriculum & Instruction: ‘Regarding the assessment tools in Item 4.C, what specific data is collected on my child, who owns it, and how is it used? Please provide the parental consent and opt-out forms for Amira, HMH Growth Measure, and AimswebPlus.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Privacy
