SEL ‘Breaking Down the Walls’ Workshop Hidden in Finances
Buried within a $2.3 million purchase order list (Item I.2.a) is a $9,900 contract with ‘Ignite 2 Unite, LLC’ for a ‘Breaking Down the Walls Workshop.’ These programs often replace academic instruction with Social Emotional Learning (SEL) exercises focused on student emotions, identity, and group dynamics, without parental oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Education (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the Purchase Order list in Item I.2.a, please pull the $9,900 contract with Ignite 2 Unite, LLC for a separate discussion and vote. Parents deserve to know what a ‘Breaking Down the Walls’ workshop entails before our children participate.’
💰 Impact: $9,900

District Rushing $77,573 in Student Software Contracts
The board is set to approve $77,573 for four different student-facing software programs (ESGI, Edgenuity, myON/Accelerated Reader, MY Access!) bundled into the consent agenda. The district has not provided any independent evidence that these programs improve academic outcomes, nor have they disclosed how much daily screen time they will add for students.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Education (contact info on district website): ‘I demand the EdTech contracts in Consent Items I.1.c and I.2.a be pulled for a separate discussion and vote. Before approving $77,573 in software, please publish the independent, non-vendor-funded evidence of academic gains and the total daily screen time these programs will add.’
💰 Impact: Increased Student Screen Time

First Reading of New Bullying Policy Without Public Text
The board is introducing a new bullying policy, BP 5131.2, for a first reading under Item K.1. However, the actual text of the proposed policy has not been included in the public agenda, preventing parental review of definitions and procedures before the board discusses it.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file for Item K.1, ‘BP 5131.2, Bullying,’ in the Official Agenda (linked above) to see if the text is available. Email the Board (contact info on district website) and demand the full text be posted publicly with adequate time for parent review before any vote, and watch for definitions of bullying based on gender identity or other ideological concepts.
💰 Impact: Hidden Policy Language
