District Spends $43,500 on Student Data-Mining Vendor
The district’s purchase orders confirm a $43,500 payment to Panorama Education Inc. Panorama is a controversial vendor known for collecting sensitive student data through ‘climate surveys’ to measure Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and Equity metrics, often without meaningful parental consent. This creates a detailed psychological profile of your child that can be used to advance ideological agendas.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a critical threat. Email the board at board@pasadenaisd.org and demand to know why the district is contracting with a known student data-mining firm. ‘We do not consent to psychological profiling of our children. The Panorama Education purchase order found in the attachments for Item VI.4.B must be explained. We demand you cease all business with this vendor.’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

District Proposes $4.15M Contract with Ideological Vendors
The board is set to approve a massive $4.15 million contract for ‘Special Education Services’ that bundles dozens of vendors together on the consent agenda. Hidden in this list are providers of Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and behavioral ideology like ‘Rethink Autism’ and ‘Social Thinking,’ which can replace academic support with social engineering. This bundle makes it impossible for parents or the board to properly vet each provider.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: This massive contract is on the Consent Agenda to avoid scrutiny. Email the board at board@pasadenaisd.org: ‘I demand Item VI.4.A, Special Education Services RFP #27R-001EZ, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. Parents deserve to know exactly which ideological vendors will have access to our special needs children.’
💰 Impact: $4.15 Million

Board to Approve Sexually-Charged Books for Middle Schoolers
The consent agenda includes a list of new library books for approval, including ‘Written in the Stars’ and ‘Love Is In The Air’ for middle school. These books contain mature LGBTQ+ romantic themes that are not age-appropriate for young students. This is an attempt to normalize adult concepts and bypass parental guidance on sensitive topics.
Recommended Action Plan
PROTECT OUR KIDS: Email the board at board@pasadenaisd.org and demand they review the books they are approving. ‘Pull the library materials list (Item VI.7) from the Consent Agenda. The board must not approve sexually explicit books for middle school libraries. Vote NO on this list.’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Innocence

District Approves Massive Spending on Unproven EdTech
Buried in the purchase orders are massive contracts for student-facing software, including IXL Learning ($228k), Magic School AI ($233k), Studies Weekly ($125k), and Renaissance Learning ($100k). This represents a huge shift from teacher-led instruction to screen time, with no public evidence that these expensive programs improve academic outcomes.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND PROOF: Email the board at board@pasadenaisd.org: ‘Regarding the EdTech purchases in Item VI.4.B, where is the independent, non-vendor-supplied evidence that these programs produce academic gains? Before spending hundreds of thousands on screens, the board must show parents the proof and disclose how much daily instruction time these programs will replace.’
💰 Impact: Over $686,000 + Lost Instruction Time

District Pays for More Social Emotional Learning Programs
The district’s purchase orders show payments to ‘Franklin Covey’ ($14,595) and ‘CharacterStrong’ ($4,500). Franklin Covey’s ‘Leader in Me’ and CharacterStrong are both well-known Social Emotional Learning (SEL) programs that embed therapeutic and behavioral instruction into the school day, often at the expense of academics.
Recommended Action Plan
STOP SEL SPENDING: Email the board at board@pasadenaisd.org: ‘The purchase orders in Item VI.4.B for Franklin Covey and CharacterStrong are for SEL, not academics. We want teachers teaching, not acting as therapists. Stop spending our tax dollars on social engineering.’
💰 Impact: $19,095 + Academic Time

District Program Pushes ‘Global Citizenship’ Over Academics
The Multilingual Education Spotlight (Item VIII.1) presents a program evaluation framed around turning students into ‘global citizens’ in an ‘inclusive environment.’ These are common euphemisms for shifting the focus from core academic skills like reading and math to politically-charged social and cultural agendas.
Recommended Action Plan
REFOCUS ON ACADEMICS: Email the board at board@pasadenaisd.org: ‘Regarding Item VIII.1, the goal of the multilingual program should be academic excellence and fluency, not training students to be ‘global citizens.’ Please ensure the district’s focus remains on core instruction, not social engineering.’
💰 Impact: Focus on Academics

District Accepts Federal Grant with Potential Strings Attached
The board is approving a $50,048 federal grant for ‘Homeless Children and Youth’ (Item VIII.2). These grants often require the district to share sensitive student and family data with outside agencies and can be used to justify ‘wrap-around services’ that operate outside of parental oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE HARD QUESTIONS: Email the board at board@pasadenaisd.org: ‘Regarding the TEHCY grant in Item VIII.2, what specific data-sharing requirements does this grant impose on the district and our families? Parents have a right to know before you accept federal money with hidden strings.’
💰 Impact: $50,048 (Federal Strings Attached)
