Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Centennial SD. We found 7 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |
|
District Hires Social Workers for Family Intervention
Item 7.1 introduces new job descriptions for “Social Worker” and “Home and School Visitor,” massively expanding the district’s role into family life. The Social Worker will assess “family structure” and provide “therapeutic support,” while the Visitor will conduct “home visits” to investigate family circumstances, turning schools into social service hubs and positioning staff to intervene in your home.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a critical threat to parental rights. We need every available parent at the September 8th meeting. Sign up for public comment and email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Vote NO on Item 7.1. The school’s job is to teach academics, not to be a therapeutic clinic or send investigators into our homes. We do not co-parent with the district.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Parental Authority

Expanding Student Data-Mining Platform
The district is spending $17,625 to expand the IXL Learning platform, which continuously analyzes and monitors student performance. These “personalized learning” systems collect vast amounts of student data, creating detailed profiles that go beyond traditional academics and can be used to track non-academic attributes without direct parental oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Consent Item 6.9(a), I demand this item be pulled for a separate vote. What specific student data does IXL collect, who owns that data, and with which third parties is it shared? Provide the district’s data privacy agreement with IXL before this is approved.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $17,625.00 (Student Data)

Controversial ‘Wit & Wisdom’ Curriculum Purchase
Buried in the financial reports under Item 9.2 is a $15,488 payment to Great Minds for the “Wit & Wisdom” curriculum. This ELA program has been flagged in other districts for containing divisive and age-inappropriate content under the guise of “rich, complex texts.”
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND REVIEW: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the payment to Great Minds in the Pending Bills List (Item 9.2), parents demand a full and transparent review of all “Wit & Wisdom” materials. Has this curriculum been approved by a parent review committee?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $15,488.32

Student Data Collection via ‘Naviance’ Platform
The district is paying $11,447.55 to renew its license for Naviance, a college and career platform owned by PowerSchool (Item 9.2). These platforms collect extensive personal data on students, including their interests, skills, and personality traits, to guide their future, creating a detailed digital dossier outside of parental control.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the Naviance renewal in the Pending Bills List (Item 9.2), what is the process for parents to review their child’s data profile and to opt their child out of this data collection platform?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $11,447.55 (Student Data)

| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Student ‘Climate Projects’ and ‘Inclusion’ Program
The board is receiving a presentation on the “Where Everyone Belongs” (WEB) program. While framed as a mentoring club, it uses ideological language like “inclusion,” “welcoming culture,” and “student-led climate projects,” which are often entry points for SEL and DEI initiatives that shift focus from academics to social engineering.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item 2.1, what specific training do the student leaders in the WEB program receive? Will parents have the right to review all materials and discussion topics used in the ‘Monthly Themed Discussions’ and ‘Student-Led Climate Projects’ before they are presented to students?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: SEL Programming

| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Staff Training in ‘Nonviolent Crisis Intervention’
A payment of $1,414.14 is listed under Item 9.2 for “Nonviolent Crisis Intervention” training from the Crisis Prevention Institute. This type of behavioral management training is often a component of “Restorative Practices” or SEL frameworks that can minimize consequences for disruptive behavior.
Recommended Action Plan
REQUEST DETAILS: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the Crisis Prevention Institute training in the Pending Bills List (Item 9.2), please provide the training materials for parental review. We need to ensure this approach aligns with district discipline policy and does not compromise classroom safety.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $1,414.14

Vague Policies for Adoption — Manual Review Required
The board is set to adopt three policies (330, 339, 716) related to overtime, leave, and pest management. While the titles appear administrative, the full text of the policies is not included in the agenda packet.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the files attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) for items 8.2(a), 8.2(b), and 8.2(c) to confirm they do not contain any language that impacts parental rights or district governance.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Policy Text
