| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |

District Pays $16,800 to Controversial i-Ready Vendor
The district is paying $16,800 to Curriculum Associates, the company behind the i-Ready software, for ‘Professional Learning.’ This further embeds a program known for excessive screen time and unproven academic results into our schools, often at the expense of direct teacher instruction.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on the district website): ‘I demand Consent Item 5.B be pulled for a separate discussion and vote. Before approving $16,800 for Curriculum Associates, the Board must present independent evidence that i-Ready improves academic outcomes and disclose the total daily screen time it adds for students.’
💰 Impact: $16,800 (Federal Strings Attached)

Vague ’31aa Resolution’ May Hide New Mental Health Policies
The board is voting on a ’31aa Resolution’ with no public documents attached. State law ’31aa’ funds services for at-risk students, often including mental health screenings and ‘support services’ that can operate without direct parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file for Item 8.A.1 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains new mental health screening policies or services that bypass parents. Email the Board: ‘Post the full text of the 31aa Resolution immediately. Parents have a right to see any policy affecting our children’s mental health before you vote.’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

District Pays $4,000 for ‘Wraparound Service’ Provider
A $4,000 payment is going to ‘Communities In Schools,’ an organization that places outside coordinators inside schools to connect children with health and social services. This ‘whole child’ model can lead to data sharing and services being provided to your child without your full knowledge or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the Board (contact info on the district website): ‘Regarding the payment to Communities in Schools in Item 5.B, what specific services are being offered and what data is being collected on our children? Provide the parental consent and opt-out forms for this program before the vote.’
💰 Impact: $4,000 (State/Local Grant)

District Spends on ‘PBIS’ Behavior Management System
The district paid $1,911.75 for ‘PBIS Rewards’ from Navigate360. PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) is a school-wide system for tracking and modifying student behavior, often prioritizing social compliance over academic learning.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: Email the Board (contact info on the district website): ‘Regarding the Navigate360 payment in Item 5.B, what specific student behaviors are being tracked by the PBIS Rewards system and who has access to this data? Parents must be able to review their child’s behavior file.’
💰 Impact: $1,911.75 (Federal Strings Attached)

District Spends $3,108 on More Classroom Software
The district is spending $3,108 on ‘PlanbookEdu,’ another piece of instructional software. The board has not provided any independent evidence that this program improves academic outcomes or justified the increase in student screen time.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND PROOF: Email the Board (contact info on the district website): ‘Before approving the $3,108 for PlanbookEdu in Item 5.B, please publish the independent, non-vendor-supplied evidence of its academic effectiveness and state how much daily screen time this adds for students.’
💰 Impact: $3,108
