District Pays $160,850 for Student Data-Mining and SEL Surveys
A payment of $160,850 to Panorama Education Inc. was found in the August check register (check #552973). Panorama is a controversial vendor known for collecting sensitive student data through “Social Emotional Learning” (SEL) surveys, often without full parental knowledge or consent. This opens the door to psychological profiling of children and building data dossiers on them and their families.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a massive data-mining operation targeting our children, hidden in a payment report. Email the Board (contact info on district website) and sign up for public comment: ‘We do not consent to the psychological profiling of our children. I demand the Board immediately terminate the contract with Panorama Education, referenced in check #552973 in the August payment report, and provide parents with all data already collected.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $160,850

District Spends $150,062 on Controversial “i-Ready” Curriculum
The district paid $150,062 to Curriculum Associates, the creator of the i-Ready platform (check #552891). While presented as a tool for math and reading, i-Ready has been criticized for embedding Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and other ideological concepts directly into academic lessons.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding payment #552891 to Curriculum Associates, I demand a public review of all Social Emotional Learning content within the i-Ready platform. Parents have a right to know if academic time is being used for social engineering.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $150,062

District Spends $68,475 on Student App with SEL Content
A payment of $68,475 was made to Seesaw Learning, Inc. for their student communication app (check #552850). This platform is not just a digital portfolio; it includes a pre-made library of lessons that often contain Social Emotional Learning (SEL) content, which can be pushed into classrooms without going through a formal curriculum review.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND VETTING: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding payment #552850 to Seesaw Learning, what is the district’s policy for vetting the SEL content in the app’s lesson library? Parents must have the right to review and opt-out of any non-academic materials.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $68,475

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
Agenda items 7.1 and 7.2 approve large batches of “District Contracts” and “School Contracts” without disclosing the vendors or the purpose of the agreements in the main agenda. The attached PDF files, which contain the actual contracts, were not provided in the text for analysis. These bundles could conceal contracts with ideological vendors for SEL, DEI, or other controversial programs.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the files ‘Contracts – District All.pdf’ and ‘Contracts – Schools All.pdf’ attached to items 7.1 and 7.2 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether they contain sensitive policy changes or contracts with ideological vendors.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Spending

District Pays for “Restorative Practices” Training
The district paid $3,167.22 to “Restorative Life Today” (check #24270). The vendor’s name strongly suggests it provides “Restorative Practices” or “Restorative Justice” training, which often replaces traditional discipline with therapy-style talking circles and can diminish consequences for misbehavior.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding payment #24270 to Restorative Life Today, please provide the training materials. Parents need to know if this training promotes “Restorative Practices” that weaken classroom discipline and student accountability.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $3,167.22

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
Item 11.2 approves an “Educator Preparation Provider/LEA Primary Partnership Agreement” without naming the partner institution or providing the text of the agreement. These partnerships, often with university schools of education, can lock the district into specific, often ideological, teacher training and recruitment pipelines.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘LEA Primary Partnership Agreement.pdf’ attached to Item 11.2 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to identify the partner institution and check for ideological commitments in teacher training.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Ideological Teacher Pipeline
