Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Blue Valley. We found 4 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Payments to Multiple SEL & “Wellness” Vendors
The district’s claims report, buried in the Consent Agenda, reveals payments to several vendors known for ideological content. These include “mental wellness” program Sources of Strength ($12,000), curriculum provider Amplify Education ($36,637), and data-gathering platform Seesaw ($65,851), among others. These programs can replace academics with social engineering and collect sensitive data on students.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND VENDOR REVIEW: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link): ‘I am concerned about the payments to ideological vendors like Sources of Strength and Amplify Education in the Claims Report under Item C.6. We demand a full public review of these programs and their curriculum before any further payments are made.’

Board to Vote on Property Tax Increase
The Board will hold a hearing and then vote on a budget that increases the property tax rate for residents. The proposed budget will levy over $257 million in taxes, exceeding the “revenue neutral” rate which would have kept tax revenue flat. This directly impacts the wallets of every family in the district.
Recommended Action Plan
SHOW UP FOR THE HEARING: This is your money. Attend the hearing on Item A.3 and sign up for public comment to demand the Board justify every dollar of this tax increase before they vote on Item E.1. Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Vote NO on any budget that increases the tax burden on families.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $257,433,509

District Spending $233k on More Interior Cameras
Hidden in the Consent Agenda under “Bids and Contracts” is a $233,379 purchase from American Digital Security to update and install interior cameras in six elementary schools. While framed as a safety measure, this expands student surveillance without a clear policy on who can view the footage and for what purpose.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Pull the American Digital Security contract from Consent Agenda Item C.4 for a full discussion. Parents need to know the district’s policy on who can access this footage and how student privacy will be protected.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $233,379.49

| ALERT (LEVEL 3) |
|
Public Comment Time Capped at 30 Minutes
The district’s “Open Forum” policy, detailed in the agenda, limits total public comment to only 30 minutes per meeting, with a 3-minute cap per speaker. This severely restricts the ability of parents to voice their concerns to the board on important issues like the proposed tax increase.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND MORE TIME: Contact the Board President (see the Official Agenda link): ‘The 30-minute total cap on public comment for Item A.6 is not enough time for parents to be heard. We request you extend the public comment period, especially on nights with major votes like the budget.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Parent Voice Limited
