| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |

District Buys Biometric Fingerprint Scanners for Students
The district is paying IdentiMetrics Inc. $4,246 for “Biometric Software.” This technology uses students’ unique biological data, like fingerprints, to track them in the cafeteria or library. This creates a permanent digital record of your child’s physical identity that can be compromised or misused.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a major violation of student privacy. Email the Board of Trustees (contact info on district website): ‘I demand to know why you are collecting my child’s biometric data. Vote NO on the expenditure for IdentiMetrics Inc. in the September 4th report. Our children are not products to be scanned.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $4,246

| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |

District Purchasing Multiple SEL Programs
Multiple payments reveal the district is buying into Social Emotional Learning (SEL) systems, including “Conscious Discipline” and “The Leader in Me.” These programs often replace academic instruction with psychological conditioning and data collection on student attitudes and beliefs.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND A HALT: Email the Board of Trustees (contact info on district website): ‘I see purchases for SEL programs like Conscious Discipline and The Leader in Me. I demand the district halt all spending on psychological programming and refocus on academic excellence. Our schools are for education, not therapy.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Replacing Academics

District Buys Gallup “Survey Code” for Student Polling
A purchase was made from Gallup for a “Survey Code.” Gallup is known for student surveys that ask invasive, non-academic questions about students’ feelings, beliefs, and home life, functioning as a data-mining tool.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the Board of Trustees (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the Gallup survey purchase, what survey is being given to students, and what questions does it ask? Provide parents with the full survey and an explicit opt-out form immediately.’

District Pays Unknown Consultant $7,400 for “Professional Development”
The district paid “Crafted Consulting LLC” $7,400 for staff professional development. The purpose of this training is not specified, and this vendor is not a known academic provider, raising red flags that this could be for ideological training like DEI or SEL.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: This payment is in the August 28th expenditure report. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask: ‘What specific services and training materials did Crafted Consulting LLC provide for $7,400? Parents have a right to know what consultants are teaching our teachers.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $7,400

District Spends $7,150 on Another Vague “PD” Consultant
The district paid “AccuTrain PD LLC” $7,150 for “PD for staff during management week.” Like other large, unexplained consultant fees, this lacks transparency and could be a vehicle for introducing controversial ideologies to teachers.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: This payment is in the September 4th expenditure report. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask: ‘What specific training did AccuTrain PD LLC provide for $7,150? We demand to see the training materials before our tax dollars are spent on unknown consultants.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $7,150

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |

District Renews Subscription to Flocabulary
The district is paying for a “yearlysubscription” to Flocabulary by Nearpod. This platform has been flagged in other districts for embedding one-sided political and social commentary into its educational rap videos, bypassing traditional curriculum review.
Recommended Action Plan
REQUEST REVIEW: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘I am concerned about the ideological content found in some Flocabulary lessons. I request a parental review of all Flocabulary materials being used in classrooms before the subscription is utilized.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Ideological Content

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The Consent Agenda includes a “Certified and Classified Personnel Report” (Item E.3), but the attachment containing the details could not be extracted. These reports can include the hiring of new administrative positions for roles like “DEI Coordinator” or “SEL Specialist.”
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached to Item E.3 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains hiring for ideological roles. If it does, we need to challenge it before the positions are filled.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Hires
