District Spends $9,000 on Student ‘Climate Surveys’
A $9,000 purchase order (27-0426) reveals the district is buying ‘YouthTruth Surveys for Parents, Staff, and Students.’ These ‘climate surveys’ are used to collect sensitive, non-academic data about students’ feelings, beliefs, and home life under the guise of improving school culture.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM & OPT OUT: This is a massive data-mining operation hidden in the Consent Agenda (Item E.2). Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and demand PO 27-0426 be pulled for a public discussion. ‘We do not consent to psychological evaluations of our children disguised as surveys. Provide the parental opt-out form immediately.’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |

District Spending $17,250 on Behavioral Tracking System
Buried in the purchase order report are payments totaling $17,250 for ‘PBIS Support’ and ‘SWIS Annual License.’ PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) is a school-wide system for modifying student behavior, and SWIS is the software used to track and data-mine student discipline and behavior incidents.
Recommended Action Plan
PULL FROM CONSENT: This was hidden in the purchase orders under the Consent Agenda (Item E.2). Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and demand the board pull POs 27-0290, 27-0291, 27-0292, and 27-0302 for a separate vote. ‘Parents do not consent to a school-wide behavioral modification and data-tracking system.’
💰 Impact: $17,250

| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |

District Pays $8,400 for SEL-Focused After-School Program
The district is approving an $8,400 contract with ‘Nexplore’ for after-school enrichment, explicitly stating the programs support ‘social-emotional’ development. The vendor’s own materials confirm their focus is on SEL, using activities like LEGOs and game design as a delivery mechanism for their ideology.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ACADEMICS, NOT ACTIVISM: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and demand they vote NO on item G.10. ‘After-school programs should focus on academic enrichment and tutoring, not social-emotional engineering. Reject the Nexplore contract.’
💰 Impact: $8,400 (ELOP Grant)

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Restrictive Public Comment Time Limits
The board limits public comment to a total of 20 minutes for all non-agenda items and another 20 minutes for all agenda items combined. This severely restricts the ability of parents to voice their concerns, as only a handful of speakers can be heard at each meeting before the board cuts off public input.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TO BE HEARD: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and demand the Board remove the 20-minute aggregate time limit on public comment. ‘Our parental rights do not expire after 20 minutes. We demand you listen to every parent who takes the time to show up and speak.’
💰 Impact: Silencing Parental Voice

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Staff Attending ‘Sexual Health Education’ Training
The conference approval list, part of the Consent Agenda, shows staff are attending a ‘High School & Middle School Sexual Health Education’ training. This is often code for Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE), which includes topics like gender identity and sexual orientation. Parents need to know what is being taught to teachers so they can see what’s coming to the classroom.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TO REVIEW MATERIALS: This was in the Consent Agenda (Item E.3). Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding the Sexual Health Education training, I demand the district make all training materials available for parental review before any of this content is brought into classrooms.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Curriculum

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |

District Spends $158k on New ELA Curriculum
The district is spending $158,521 on a new ELA curriculum from McGraw Hill (PO 27-0345). While the specific product isn’t named, many modern ELA programs from large publishers embed Social Emotional Learning and DEI concepts directly into reading and writing lessons.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: This purchase was in the Consent Agenda (Item E.2). Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) about PO 27-0345: ‘Which specific McGraw Hill ELA product is being purchased? Parents demand the right to review all curriculum materials for ideological content before they are approved.’
💰 Impact: $158,521

| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Vague ‘Student Data Review’ on Agenda
The agenda lists a presentation on ‘Elementary School Student Data Review’ without any details or attached documents. This could be about academic progress, but it could also be the rollout of a data dashboard for tracking student behavior, attitudes, and beliefs under the guise of ‘school climate.’
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask for the presentation materials for item F.1, ‘Elementary School Student Data Review,’ to be posted publicly before the meeting. ‘Parents have a right to know what non-academic data the district is collecting on our children.’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Data
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
‘Expanded Learning’ Vendor Presentation
The board is hearing a presentation from a group called ‘ELEVO.’ These ‘Expanded Learning’ providers often use after-school programs to introduce Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and other ideological concepts outside the standard curriculum.
Recommended Action Plan
PAY ATTENTION: Attend the meeting to hear the ‘ELEVO’ presentation under item D.2. Take notes on any mention of ‘social-emotional learning,’ ‘equity,’ or ‘whole child’ and be prepared to ask the board if they plan to contract with this group.
💰 Impact: SEL Trojan Horse
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
$4,600 for ‘Crisis Prevention’ Behavior Training
The district is spending $4,600 on Crisis Prevention Institute (CPI) training for staff to handle ‘behavioral crises.’ While de-escalation is important, these programs can be an entry point for ‘restorative practices’ and other SEL-based behavior management systems that replace consequences with therapy.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) regarding item G.9. ‘What specific “behavioral supports” are included in the CPI training, and does this training align with a “restorative practices” or “positive behavior” (PBIS) framework?’
💰 Impact: $4,600
