| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |
|
District to Monitor Parent-Teacher Communications for Bonus Pay
The proposed teacher and administrator bonus plans (Items 7.8 and 7.9) require teachers to use the “Rooms” communication platform to talk to parents. Administrators are then required to “monitor” teachers’ use of this platform, effectively creating district surveillance of private parent-teacher conversations as a condition of employment and pay.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a critical violation of privacy. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and tell the board: ‘I do not consent to the district monitoring my private communications with my child’s teacher. Vote NO on the Pay for Performance plans in Items 7.8 and 7.9.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Privacy

District to Spend $202,800 on Foreign Teacher Placement
Buried in the Accounts Payable section of the consent agenda (Item 6.3) is a $202,800 payment to “International Alliance Group, LLC” for placing J-1 Visa teachers in the district. This uses a large amount of taxpayer money to hire foreign teachers instead of local educators, with no public review of their qualifications, training, or ideological alignment.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and demand: ‘Item 6.3, specifically the $202,800 payment to International Alliance Group, must be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and vote. Who are these teachers, what are their qualifications, and why are we not hiring locally?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $202,800

Ideological Training and SEL Programs Hidden in Spending
The consent agenda (Item 6.3) bundles payments for ideological programs, including $5,300 to “Character Matters” for an SEL-style program and over $11,000 to vendors like Corwin Press and LinkedIn for teacher training. These expenses push social agendas into the classroom and staff development, bypassing public discussion.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and state: ‘Pull Item 6.3 from the consent agenda. Parents deserve a public discussion before you approve spending on vendors like Character Matters and Corwin Press.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Over $16,000

District Goals Confirm Push for Social-Emotional Programs
The district’s official Goals, Projects, and Initiatives (GPIs) for 2026-27 (Item 8.6) explicitly prioritize “social-emotional growth,” “student well-being,” and the “BASE education program.” This confirms a district-wide strategy to implement SEL ideology in the classroom, shifting focus away from core academics.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘The GPI documents under Item 8.6 prioritize social-emotional programming. I demand the board explain how this focus on “well-being” improves academic outcomes in math, reading, and science.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Focus on Academics

District to Collect Career Assessment Data on Middle Schoolers
Item 7.4 approves an agreement to give all 7th and 8th graders in a partner elementary district the “YouScience” career assessment. The agreement explicitly states that “All data results from the assessment will be given to Buckeye Union HS District,” creating a data file on children before they even enter high school.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item 7.4, what are the specific data points collected by YouScience, who owns the data, and will parents be given an explicit opt-out form before their child is assessed?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Data

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The agenda includes payroll vouchers under the consent agenda (Item 6.2), but the attachment detailing the expenses was not provided in the public board packet. This prevents public review of payments before the vote.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘AGENDA ITEM 6.02a Payroll Vouchers SUPPORT FY2627 20260914’ attached to Item 6.2 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm what is being approved.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed
