District to Pay Panorama Education for Student Data Mining
The committee will review a $9,210 contract (Item 4) with Panorama Education for ‘community climate surveys’ of students, staff, and families. The contract’s fine print states the district gives consent ‘on behalf of parents’ for data collection and grants Panorama a perpetual license to use student data for its own research and development.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a critical threat to parental rights and student privacy. Email Fiscal Oversight Committee Co-Chairpersons Saul Ramos ( sramos@palisadessd.org) and Chris Berdnik ( cberdnik@palisadessd.org): ‘We do not co-parent with the government. Vote NO on Item 4, the Panorama Education contract. Parents will not consent to the district signing away our children’s data privacy rights.’
💰 Impact: $9,210 + Your Child’s Data

Over $136k for Curriculum Vendor ‘Amplify’ Hidden in Budget Transfer
Item 17, a routine budget transfer sheet, contains transfers totaling $136,694.16 for the curriculum vendor Amplify. Amplify is known to embed ideological content in its materials, and this large purchase is being moved without public review of the specific curriculum being bought.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email Fiscal Oversight Committee Co-Chairpersons Saul Ramos ( sramos@palisadessd.org) and Chris Berdnik ( cberdnik@palisadessd.org): ‘Regarding Item 17, I demand the Board provide the full purchase orders and curriculum details for the $136,694 in transfers to Amplify. Parents have a right to review curriculum before it is purchased, not after the money is spent.’
💰 Impact: $136,694

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
Item 11, the UBCTS Budget Update, includes three attachments (‘2024 2025 Refund to Districts’, ‘2027 2028 ADM Analysis for District Contributions’, ‘2027 2028 Budget Timeline’) that were not available for review. While the titles seem administrative, they should be checked to ensure no policy changes are hidden within.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the files attached to Item 11 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm they are purely administrative and contain no hidden policy changes.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed
