District Using Panorama SEL Surveys on K-8 Students
A presentation for Olympia Brown K-8 school (Item 3.A) reveals a goal to track and increase your child’s ‘sense of belonging’ using data from Panorama surveys and dedicated ‘SEL lessons.’ Panorama is a controversial vendor known for collecting sensitive social-emotional data on students, often functioning as psychological profiling without parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This presentation (Item 3.A) confirms the district is using Panorama surveys. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘We do not consent to the psychological profiling of our children. I demand to know what data Panorama is collecting, who has access to it, and to see the full survey before it is given to any student.’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

District Confirms School-Wide ‘Character Strong’ SEL Curriculum
The ‘Learning Environment’ report (Item 8.K) confirms the district is implementing a comprehensive Social Emotional Learning (SEL) program using the ‘Character Strong’ curriculum. The report also details the use of ‘Student Supports + Environment’ surveys to collect data on students’ feelings, turning teachers into unqualified therapists and taking time away from core academics.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: Item 8.K confirms the district is using the ‘Character Strong’ SEL curriculum and climate surveys. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘We want our children learning reading, writing, and math, not subjected to psychological programming. We demand a full public review of the ‘Character Strong’ curriculum and an immediate halt to all non-academic student surveys.’
💰 Impact: Focus on Academics

‘Equity’ Language Inserted into Instruction Policy
Under Item 6.G on the consent agenda, the district is modifying its core instructional policy to focus on ‘addressing significant inequities.’ This language shifts the focus from academic achievement for all students to an ‘equity’ agenda, which often leads to lowering standards and introducing group-based politics in the classroom.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND A REAL VOTE: Item 6.G must be pulled from the consent agenda for a separate roll-call vote. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Do not change our instructional policy to focus on ‘inequities.’ Our schools must focus on academic excellence and equal opportunity for every single student, not equal outcomes.’
💰 Impact: Academic Standards

District Caps Public Comment at 2 Minutes Per Person
The agenda (Item 5.A) limits public comment to just two minutes per speaker, with a total cap of one hour for all public comments. This severely restricts parents’ ability to voice their concerns to the board and can be used to silence dissent on controversial topics.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TO BE HEARD: The two-minute time limit and one-hour cap on public comment (Item 5.A) is an attempt to manage, not listen to, parents. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Two minutes is not enough time to address the Board on complex issues. We demand you extend public comment time to ensure all parental voices are heard.’
💰 Impact: Your Right to Speak

Board to Vote on Secret Cell Phone Policy
The Board is scheduled to vote on a new district-wide cell phone policy (Item 10.B), but the final text of the policy has not been made public. The Board should not vote on a policy that parents and the public have not had a chance to review and comment on.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: The Board must postpone the vote on Item 10.B until the full text of the cell phone policy statement is published for public review. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Do not vote on secret policies. Table Item 10.B until parents can read the proposed cell phone rules.’
💰 Impact: Lack of Transparency

District Hiding DEI in Financial Policy
Buried in the consent agenda (Item 6.F), the district is modifying its financial policy to give preference in bidding to businesses based on owner identity, including race and gender. This inserts identity politics into the use of taxpayer money, prioritizing a social agenda over finding the best value for our schools.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Pull Item 6.F from the consent agenda for a full discussion. Taxpayer funds should be spent on the best value for our schools, not to advance a social agenda in procurement.’
💰 Impact: Taxpayer Dollars

High School Pushing ‘Restorative’ Practices
The Case High School presentation (part of Item 3.A) outlines a strategy of using ‘Restorative Circles’ to build a ‘Culture of Belonging.’ Restorative practices often replace traditional discipline and consequences with group therapy sessions, which can undermine classroom order and parental authority.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE BOARD: Regarding the Case High School presentation (Item 3.A), what specific training are staff receiving for ‘Restorative Circles’? Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Parents need to know if restorative practices are replacing consequences for misbehavior. Please provide the policy and training materials for this program.’
💰 Impact: Classroom Discipline

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The Superintendent’s consent agenda includes ‘Overnight Field Trips’ (Item 8.E), but the details are only in an attachment that could not be reviewed. Parents need to know where their children are going, who is supervising them, and what the activities are before the Board approves these trips.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘8E Overnight Field Trips October 2026.pdf’ attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm the destinations and supervision plans for these trips. Email the Board immediately if anything is concerning.
💰 Impact: Student Safety
