School Admits Using ‘Safe Survey’ for Targeted Interventions
The Administrators’ Report (Attachment 17) reveals the district uses a ‘Safe and Healthy Spaces Survey’ to identify and target students. The report explicitly states that for students who answered ‘no’ about having a ‘trusted adult,’ the school has ‘already initiated targeted relationship-building efforts,’ potentially without parental knowledge or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a major parental rights violation. Sign up for public comment for the meeting on October 19. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘We demand to see all questions on the ‘Safe and Healthy Spaces Survey’ and the full protocol for ‘targeted relationship-building efforts.’ We do not consent to our children being data-mined for intervention.’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Data

District Pays $9,459 for Staff Training Software
A payment of $9,458.88 to Vector Solutions for ‘staff training software’ is buried in the monthly bills. This company is a known provider of online training modules that can include controversial topics like DEI, ‘implicit bias,’ and other ideological content.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: This $9,459 purchase is in the bills list under the Consent Agenda (Item V). Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Before approving the payment to Vector Solutions, please provide the public with a list of all training modules included in this package and confirm none contain DEI or ‘anti-racism’ content.’
💰 Impact: $9,458.88

District Spends $7,632 on Digital Student Surveillance
The district is paying $7,632.56 for ‘Securly EHall pass software’ for the Middle and High School. This system digitally tracks student movements in the hallways, collecting data on where they go and for how long. This replaces traditional hall passes with a system of digital surveillance.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: The payment for Securly EHall pass software is in the Consent Agenda (Item V). Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the Securly EHall pass, what data is collected on students, who owns it, and how can parents opt their children out of this digital tracking system?’
💰 Impact: Student Privacy

District Financials Confirm ‘Home Visits’ Program
A mileage reimbursement for Kelli Churchman for ‘Home Visits’ confirms the district is sending staff to students’ homes. This practice raises serious privacy concerns and represents a significant government overreach into family life.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: A line item in the bills (Attachment 9) confirms the district conducts ‘Home Visits.’ Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘What is the official district policy governing home visits? Under what circumstances are they conducted, and what are the specific parental consent and notification requirements?’
💰 Impact: Your Family’s Privacy

District Pushes Staff ‘Wellness’ Programs
The Administrators’ Report (Attachment 17) details a new initiative for ‘educator wellness,’ using terms like ‘wellness dimension’ and ‘SMART goals.’ This is the language of Social Emotional Learning (SEL), and programs that start with staff often expand to students, shifting focus from academics to feelings.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the ‘educator wellness’ goals mentioned in the Admin Report, how does this program improve student academic achievement, and what is the total cost in staff time and district funds?’
💰 Impact: Focus on Academics

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The consent agenda includes an $11,424.69 payment to Johnson Controls, but the attachment detailing the expense was not included in the public packet. Johnson Controls provides building systems, but parents have a right to see what this specific large payment is for before it’s approved in a bundled vote.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file for Consent Agenda item V.ii.c, ‘Johnson Controls – $11,424.69’, attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm the purpose of this expense.
💰 Impact: $11,424.69
