| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
Teachers Trained on “MTSS” Data Collection Framework
A Teacher Institute Day agenda reveals training on Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS). This system is often used to collect non-academic data on students’ behavior and emotional state to assign interventions, sometimes without full parental consent or knowledge.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a major red flag. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and show up to the meeting to ask: ‘What specific non-academic data is collected under the MTSS framework? What is the district’s policy for notifying and obtaining consent from parents before a child is placed in a behavioral or emotional intervention tier?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Data

District Pays $15,390 for Politically Biased Classroom Content
The district is paying Newsela, Inc. $15,390 for instructional materials. Newsela is known for providing news articles that often frame issues from a progressive viewpoint, potentially introducing political bias into subjects like history and English without parental awareness.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask: ‘Which specific classrooms and subjects will be using the Newsela platform? I demand the right to review all Newsela content assigned to my child and request alternative, unbiased materials.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $15,390

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required for New Hires
The board is set to approve a “Personnel Consent Agenda” for new extra-curricular hires and volunteers. The actual list of individuals and their specific roles was not included in the provided agenda packet, preventing public review before the vote.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached to Item 13.A in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm who is being hired. If controversial positions or individuals are listed, immediately email the Board to demand this item be pulled for public discussion.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Lack of Transparency

District Pays Mental Health Advocacy Group
A payment of $220.07 was made to the “National Council for Mental Wellbeing.” This group advocates for school-based mental health services, which can lead to students receiving counseling or screenings at school without parental presence or explicit consent for each session.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask: ‘Does this payment signify the adoption of any mental health screening programs? Please provide the parental notification and opt-out policy for all mental health services and surveys conducted on school grounds.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $220.07

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
District Spends $4,569 on Ed-Tech with SEL Components
The district paid $4,569.90 to Renaissance Learning Inc., a major educational software company. While used for academic assessments, Renaissance has been integrating Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and DEI concepts into its platforms, which can shift focus away from core academics.
Recommended Action Plan
Monitor: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) to ask: ‘Are the SEL components of the Renaissance Learning platform enabled for our students? What is the process for parents to review this content?’ Track for future scope creep.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $4,569.90
