| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |
|
District to Adopt Formal “Behavior & Social Emotional Learning” Curriculum
The board is voting to approve new district goals that explicitly include implementing a “core Behavior and Social Emotional Learning (BSEL) instructional resource” in all elementary schools. This formalizes the replacement of academic time with psychological programming and social engineering, using the MTSS framework to track and intervene in student behavior and emotions.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is the vote to formally install a district-wide SEL curriculum. Email the Board at boe@bluevalleyk12.org and sign up for public comment: ‘I demand you strip the BSEL curriculum and MTSS behavior framework from the district goals. Focus on academics, not emotional engineering. Vote NO on Item E.3.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Replacing Academics

District Pays for “Everyday Speech” SEL Video Curriculum
The claims report includes a payment of $8,639.84 to “Everyday Speech LLC,” a company that explicitly sells a Social-Emotional Learning video curriculum. This is a direct purchase of ideological material being hidden on the consent agenda for rubber-stamp approval.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board at boe@bluevalleyk12.org: ‘Pull the $8,639 payment to the SEL vendor “Everyday Speech” from the Consent Agenda (Item C.6). The district should not be buying SEL video programming for our children.’

Massive $744k Curriculum Purchase from “Amplify”
Buried in the claims report under the consent agenda is a $744,842 payment to Amplify Education Inc., a major national curriculum publisher. Amplify’s materials have been criticized for containing SEL components and aligning with controversial educational trends.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board at boe@bluevalleyk12.org: ‘I demand the $744,842 Amplify Education payment (Item C.6) be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and vote. Parents deserve to know what is in a curriculum that costs three-quarters of a million dollars.’

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Contract with External “Behavioral Services” Provider
A payment of $35,468.50 to Summit Behavioral Services is on the claims report, indicating the district is outsourcing mental and behavioral health services. This raises serious questions about parental consent, privacy, and who is providing psychological services to students during the school day.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board at boe@bluevalleyk12.org: ‘Regarding the $35,468 payment to Summit Behavioral Services (Item C.6), what specific services are being provided to students, and what are the parental notification and consent policies before a child is treated?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

The district is paying $16,605.10 for Securly Inc., a company that provides student web filtering and online activity monitoring, often using AI to flag student behavior. This software surveils students’ digital lives, creating a record of their online activity and thoughts.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the Board at boe@bluevalleyk12.org: ‘Regarding the Securly Inc. purchase (Item C.6), what data is being collected on my child, who has access to it, and for how long is it stored? Parents must have the right to opt their children out of this digital surveillance.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $16,605.10

District Renews Elementary Ed-Tech Platform “Seesaw”

Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the Board at boe@bluevalleyk12.org: ‘Regarding the Seesaw contract renewal (Item C.4), who owns the student data and work uploaded to this platform? Please confirm that parents can opt-out of their child’s participation without academic penalty.’
