Heads up! We have scanned the upcoming agenda for Natrona County School District #1. We found 5 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |

Over $111,000 in Mental Health Contracts This Month
The district is set to approve payments totaling $111,653.86 to three outside mental and behavioral health providers: Rocky Mountain Behavioral Health ($16,067.83), Central Wyoming Counseling Center ($45,214.83), and Wyoming Behavioral Institute ($50,371.20). This raises questions about whether the district is creating a shadow mental health system in schools that operates without direct parental consent or involvement for every service.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website) before the Oct. 26 meeting: ‘Regarding the payments in Consent Item D.4, I demand to know what specific services are being provided by these mental health vendors, what parental consent is required for a student to receive them, and whether parents are present. Pull these items for a public discussion.’
💰 Impact: $111,653.86

District to Pay $30,478 for ‘Behavior Management’
A payment of $30,478 is scheduled for ‘Behavior Advantage LLC.’ Vague terms like ‘behavior management’ are often used to introduce Social Emotional Learning (SEL) or controversial discipline systems like ‘Restorative Practices’ into schools without parental review.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website) before the Oct. 26 meeting: ‘Regarding the $30,478 payment to Behavior Advantage LLC in Consent Item D.4, what specific program or service is this for? The Board must provide parents with all associated curriculum and training materials for public review before approving this payment.’
💰 Impact: $30,478

Board to Discuss State-Level Lobbying Resolutions
Under item E.2, the board will report on ‘Wyoming School Board Association Resolutions.’ These resolutions often direct the association to lobby for or against specific state laws, using the collective weight of member districts. Parents have a right to know what political positions are being supported with their district’s influence and funds.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The resolutions were not attached to the agenda. Email the Board (contact info on district website) immediately: ‘Regarding Item E.2, please publicly post all Wyoming School Board Association Resolutions under consideration so the community can review them before the Oct. 26 meeting. We must know what lobbying efforts our district is supporting.’
💰 Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying

District Spends $5,880 on ‘Live Inspired’ Program
The district is paying $5,880 to ‘Live Inspired LLC.’ While this may be a standard motivational assembly, these types of programs can be used to introduce SEL concepts to students or staff under the guise of inspiration.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the payment to Live Inspired LLC in Consent Item D.4, was this for a student assembly or staff training? Please provide a detailed summary of the content presented to ensure it aligns with our community’s focus on academic excellence.’
💰 Impact: $5,880

New Student EdTech Purchase
The district is spending $2,895 on Stukent Inc., a provider of digital courseware. Before approving any new student-facing software, the board must prove to parents that it improves academic outcomes and disclose how much daily screen time it will add.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND EVIDENCE: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Before approving the Stukent Inc. purchase under Item D.4, please publish the independent, non-vendor-supplied evidence that this product improves academic achievement and state the expected daily screen time per student.’
💰 Impact: Increased Screen Time
