Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Bondurant-Farrar Comm School District. We found 7 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
Massive Policy Overhaul Lacks Transparency
The board is reviewing, redlining, rescinding, or creating dozens of policies in a single agenda item. The actual text of these proposed changes was not successfully extracted from the agenda, preventing public review of potentially significant shifts in district governance and parental rights.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: This is a State B alert. The file ‘Board Policies for 1st review 8.10.26.pdf’ is referenced but its text is not available here. Go to the official agenda (linked above) and open this attachment immediately. We must see what is hidden in these dozens of policy changes before they get a first reading.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Board Oversight

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |

Paying Teachers Stipends to Push ‘Portrait of a Bluejay’
The district’s Teacher Quality (TQ) plan offers teachers a $300 stipend to implement the ‘Portrait of a Bluejay’ program. This program requires teachers to embed non-academic ‘competencies’ like ‘resiliency’ into their lessons and create ‘authentic learning projects’ to track student growth in these subjective skills.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘I oppose using taxpayer-funded stipends (TQ Plan) to incentivize teachers to replace core academics with subjective social-emotional programming like ‘Portrait of a Bluejay.’ Focus on academics, not attitudes.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Academics Replaced by Social Engineering

District-Wide Professional Development Plan Embeds Ideology
The 2026-2027 Professional Development plan details a district-wide strategy to implement several ideological frameworks. These include ‘Trauma Sensitive Schools,’ ‘restorative practices,’ ‘High-Reliability Schools (HRS),’ and Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS), which can lead to student surveillance and non-academic interventions without full parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘The District PD Plan commits to controversial frameworks like ‘restorative practices’ and ‘trauma-informed’ care. What specific, opt-outable curriculum and student interventions will result from this plan?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: System-Wide Ideological Shift

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
District to Use Collection Agency for School Lunch Debt
An internal memo recommends referring families with overdue school meal balances to a third-party collection agency. The district is carrying over $80,000 in debt, and this proposal would implement an existing policy to pursue collections against families, potentially including those with students on free/reduced lunch.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: Contact the Board (see district website for emails): ‘Using collection agencies against families for school lunch debt is wrong. Find a compassionate solution that doesn’t punish struggling parents and children. Vote NO on this aggressive collection strategy.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Financial Hardship for Families

Consultant Hired to Embed ‘Competencies’ into School Culture
The district is paying ‘Learning Couture, LLC’ $13,350 to support the ‘Portrait of a Bluejay’ initiative. The goal is to embed these ‘competencies’ into daily instruction and the ‘overall school culture,’ shifting focus from core academics to subjective social skills and attitudes.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding the $13,350 Learning Couture contract, what specific ‘competencies’ are being taught? Parents have a right to review all materials from this vendor before it is embedded in our school culture.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $13,350

Career Planning Software May Collect Student Data
The district is spending $10,001.86 on ‘Xello,’ a ‘Career Information System,’ using Regional Planning Partnership funds. These types of platforms often collect extensive personal and attitudinal data on students under the guise of career planning, which can be shared with third parties.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding the Xello contract, what specific student data is collected, who owns it, and with whom is it shared? Please provide the parental opt-out form for this data collection program before the vote.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $10,001.86 (Strings Attached)

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |

Online Academy Courses Not NCAA Approved
The handbook for the district’s ‘Bluejay Academy’ online program explicitly states its courses are not NCAA accredited. This could make student athletes who use the program ineligible to play Division I or II sports during their freshman year of college, a critical detail for families planning for athletic scholarships.
Recommended Action Plan
INFORM PARENTS: Share this information with families of student athletes. This is a critical detail that could impact their child’s future. The district must be more transparent about the academic and athletic consequences of choosing the online academy.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s NCAA Eligibility
