| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |

District Approves Vendor Ownership of Student Survey Data
Under Consent Item VIII.j, the district is amending a contract with Learner-Centered Collaborative, giving the vendor the right to survey students and become the “sole and exclusive owner” of their raw data. The vendor will not share raw, identifiable student responses with the district or parents, but reserves the right to use the data for its own research, marketing, and fundraising.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a critical threat to student privacy. Email the Board of Education (contact info on district website): ‘Vote NO on the Learner-Centered Collaborative contract in Item VIII.j. Our district must never sell ownership of our children’s private data to a third-party vendor.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $10,000 / Your Child’s Privacy

Applying for $1.2M in Federal Grants with Potential Strings
Under Consent Item VIII.f, the district is applying for over $1.2 million in federal Title I, II, III, and IV grants. These funds often come with strings attached, mandating specific curricula or data collection related to Social Emotional Learning (SEL) or DEI, especially under the “Student Support” block grant (Title IV).
Recommended Action Plan
Email the Board of Education (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item VIII.f, I demand the full Consolidated Application be made public for parental review before you vote to accept over $1.2 million in federal funds. We must know what strings are attached.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $1.2M (Federal Strings Attached)

Vendor Contract Allows Classroom Observation, Use of Student Images
A $3,000 contract with Sobrato Early Academic Language (SEAL) in Item VIII.j allows the vendor to conduct “classroom observations” and collect “participant data.” The contract also grants SEAL the right to use photos and videos from sessions for its own promotional purposes, putting the burden on the district to get parental consent for any media featuring minors.
Recommended Action Plan
Email the Board of Education (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the Sobrato contract in Item VIII.j, what is the specific parental consent process for allowing this vendor to use our children’s images for their own promotion? Parents must have an explicit opt-in, not a passive opt-out.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $3,000 / Your Child’s Image Rights

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The agenda includes a Classified Personnel Report (Item VIII.a) on the consent calendar, but the attachment containing the details of 6 employments, 2 FTE increases, 2 transfers, and 7 resignations was not provided in the agenda packet. Hiding personnel actions in un-viewable attachments prevents public oversight of who is being hired to interact with children.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file for Item VIII.a attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm it does not contain any controversial hires or position changes.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Transparency
