Heads up! We have scanned the upcoming agenda for Saydel Comm School District. We found 4 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7)
Over $11,000 in New Tech and Screen Time Hidden in Bills
πŸ“… October 26, 2026
The board is set to approve a $3,500 typing program (‘Typing.com’) and $7,784.50 in new iPads and laptops for students, buried in the bills list. The district has provided no evidence that this new technology improves academic outcomes or any information on how much daily screen time it will add for children.
Recommended Action Plan

Email the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contacts): ‘Pull the payments to Apple and Typing.com from Consent Agenda Item II.A.1. Before voting, please provide the independent, non-vendor-funded evidence showing these products produce academic gains, and publish the total daily screen time these purchases will add for students.’

πŸ’° Impact: $11,284.50
MONITOR (LEVEL 5)
New Hires and Clubs Approved Without Public Disclosure
πŸ“… October 26, 2026
Item II.C.1 asks the board to approve a list of ’employment agreements and clubs,’ but the document containing the names and positions is not accessible in the agenda. This process allows the district to hire staff for ideological roles or approve controversial clubs without any public oversight.
Recommended Action Plan

INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘261026 Personnel Listing’ under Item II.C.1 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm who is being hired and what clubs are being approved before the vote. This is where ideological roles can be hidden.

πŸ’° Impact: Undisclosed Hires/Stipends
ALERT (LEVEL 4)
District Spends $2,499 on ‘Crisis Prevention’ Training
πŸ“… October 26, 2026
Hidden in the bills list under the Consent Agenda is a $2,499 payment for a ‘Crisis Prevention Institute’ (CPI) trainer recertification. These programs can be a gateway for ‘restorative practices’ that undermine traditional discipline and accountability in the classroom.
Recommended Action Plan

Email the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contacts): ‘Regarding the payment to Crisis Prevention Institute in Consent Agenda Item II.A.1, what specific behavioral management philosophy does this training teach, and how does it align with the student code of conduct? Parents must be informed before these methods are used on our children.’

πŸ’° Impact: $2,499
ALERT (LEVEL 3)
Secret School Agreement on Consent Agenda
πŸ“… October 26, 2026
Under Item II.A.2.b, the board plans to approve a ‘Facility Usage Agreement with Grand View Christian School’ on the consent agenda, meaning no public discussion. However, the actual contract was not included in the public agenda packet, preventing parents from reviewing its terms.
Recommended Action Plan

INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘2026 Saydel_GVC Track Usage Agreement – Signed’ under Item II.A.2.b in the Official Agenda (linked above) to see the terms before the board votes.

πŸ’° Impact: Undisclosed Terms
