District Hires SEL Data-Mining Vendor Panorama Education
Hidden in the bill payments is a $2,030 contract with Panorama Education for “Class Companion.” Panorama is a nationally-known vendor that uses student surveys and data dashboards to implement Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and track student attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a critical threat. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘I demand Item 10.B be pulled from the Consent Agenda. The contract with Panorama Education, a known student data-mining firm, must be publicly debated and voted down. We do not consent to psychological surveillance of our children.’

New Coordinator Hired to Implement “BARR” SEL Program
The district is hiring a “District ND Climbs/BARR Elementary Coordinator” for $24,071. BARR (Building Assets, Reducing Risks) is a Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) program that integrates social-emotional and mental health interventions into the academic day, often without specific parental consent for each intervention.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the BARR Coordinator contract in Item 9.A, what specific social-emotional curriculum will be used? Parents must have the right to review all materials and opt their children out of any psychological or behavioral programming.’

New Handbook Policy Allows School to Hide Student Pregnancy
The proposed High School Handbook states that if a student discloses a pregnancy, the school counselor will “encourage” her to inform her parents “if such advice is in the best safety interest of the student.” This policy creates a loophole for the school to deliberately conceal a student’s pregnancy from her parents, a major violation of parental rights.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a direct assault on parental rights. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Vote NO on the High School Handbook (Item 9.G). The policy on pregnant students must be amended to require immediate parental notification, not counselor discretion. You do not have the right to keep secrets about our children’s health.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Parental Notification Rights

District Spends $9,370 on Student Surveillance Software
The bill payments include a $9,370 purchase from Minga Solutions for a “Hall Pass Bundle” and “Behavior Module.” This software tracks student movements and behavior throughout the day, creating a digital record of their activities and potentially flagging them for interventions based on subjective data.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the Minga Solutions payment in Item 10.B, who has access to this student behavior data? What is the district’s policy for data retention and parental access to their own child’s record?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $9,370

District Pays $35,672 for Vague “Educational Coaching”
The district is approving a $35,672 agreement with the North Central Education Cooperative for “educational coaching.” The agreement uses vague language like “collaborative, non-evaluative process that focuses on reflection, growth, and the application of evidence-based strategies,” which often serves as a cover for implementing SEL and other progressive teaching methods.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Before approving the $35k contract in Item 9.H, parents demand to see the specific training materials the North Central Education Cooperative will use with our teachers. We will not fund ideological training.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $35,672

“Equity” Language Embedded in Superintendent Oversight Policy
The Superintendent’s monitoring report, up for approval, is based on a policy that requires him to prevent any condition that is “inequitable.” His interpretation of the policy also commits him to preventing conditions that “compromise safety, equity, sound judgment.” This embeds the political concept of “equity” (equal outcomes) over equality (equal opportunity) into the highest level of district governance.
Recommended Action Plan
PUT THEM ON RECORD: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item 6.A, please define “equity” as it is used in this policy. Does it mean equal opportunity for all students, or are you committing the district to engineering equal outcomes?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Replacing Equality with Equity

School Handbooks Detail Rights to Conduct Sensitive Student Surveys
The High School handbook includes a “Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA)” section, notifying parents of the school’s right to survey students on sensitive topics. These topics include political beliefs, mental health, sex behavior, and religious beliefs.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: This is your legal notice. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘I am formally opting my child out of any and all surveys covered under PPRA for the 2026-2027 school year. Please confirm receipt and provide the district-wide opt-out form.’

The consent agenda includes a $20,000 contract with Schatz and Associates, LLC for “Executive Coaching support for the Superintendent and District Leadership Team.” The agreement is vague on specific deliverables, creating a risk that taxpayer money could be used for ideological or political consulting.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item 9.B, what are the specific goals and deliverables for the $20,000 Schatz and Associates contract? Parents need to know what this “executive coaching” will entail before it is approved.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $20,000
