Heads up! We have scanned the upcoming agenda for BELLE PLAINE PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT. We found 6 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Undisclosed Partnership with County Library System
The superintendent is discussing a ‘Scott County Library Partnership’ (Item 6.1.3) with zero details provided to the public. These partnerships can be a backdoor for introducing ideologically-driven books, digital content, and programs into our schools, bypassing parental review.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: This is an ‘Undisclosed / Transparency Violation.’ Email the board before the meeting: ‘What are the full terms of the Scott County Library Partnership under Item 6.1.3? Parents demand to see the agreement and review all materials and programs it would bring into our schools before any partnership is formed.’
💰 Impact: Bypassing Parental Review

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
New AI Policy Opens Door to Student Surveillance
The district is discussing a new policy (Item 6.1.2) for Artificial Intelligence. While the policy includes some privacy language, it also creates a framework for ‘AI-assisted surveillance or behavioral monitoring tools’ and establishes a new ‘AI Committee’ to oversee it.
Recommended Action Plan
GET ON THE COMMITTEE: This is a discussion item, not a vote. Email the board and superintendent: ‘Parents must have a seat on the new AI Committee proposed in Policy 625 to ensure student privacy is protected and surveillance tools are banned.’ Find contacts on the district website.
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |

Board Voting on Blank-Check Grant
The board is scheduled to vote on ‘MSHSL Grant’ (Action Item 7.2) without providing any information about the grant’s purpose, the dollar amount, or any ideological strings that might be attached. This is not responsible governance of our tax dollars.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: This is an ‘Undisclosed / Transparency Violation.’ Contact the board immediately: ‘Postpone the vote on Action Item 7.2, the MSHSL Grant, until the full grant application and all terms and conditions are made public for parental review.’ Find contacts on the district website.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed (Strings Attached?)

| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
District Hiding Details on $2.4M in Spending
The board is set to approve nearly $2.5 million in monthly spending under Consent Item 5.2, but the detailed payment lists are missing or unreadable in the public agenda. Parents have no way to see if their tax dollars are going to controversial vendors or programs.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the files attached to Item 5.2 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether they contain payments to ideological vendors. Email the board to demand these detailed spending reports be published in a readable format for public review before the vote.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Secret Hires on the Consent Agenda
The board plans to approve a list of personnel changes as part of the consent agenda (Item 5.3), but the document showing who is being hired or reassigned is unreadable. Parents have a right to know who is in the classroom with their children before they are approved.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The ‘Consensus – Personnel’ attachment for Item 5.3 is unreadable. Contact the District Office and demand a clear, legible list of all personnel changes be provided to the public before the board votes. Find contacts on the district website.
💰 Impact: Unvetted Staff
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 3) |
|
Lobby Group Briefs Board on State Ballot Measure
Under Item 6.1.1, the board is receiving a presentation on a state constitutional amendment from the Minnesota School Boards Association (MSBA), a taxpayer-funded lobbying group. This is how outside political agendas begin to influence local school policy.
Recommended Action Plan
MONITOR: Pay attention to whether the board takes an official position on this ballot measure in the future. Public school districts should not be spending resources or political capital to lobby for or against state legislation.
💰 Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying
