Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for South St. Paul Public School Dist. We found 5 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Police in Schools Mandated for “Anti-Racism” and “Implicit Bias” Training
The district’s new two-year agreement with the South St. Paul Police requires School Resource Officers (SROs) to undergo “implicit bias and anti-racism training.” The agreement also designates SROs as “school officials,” giving them access to private student data under FERPA, blurring the line between law enforcement and school discipline.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask: ‘Regarding Item VI.A, what specific curriculum will be used for the SROs’ anti-racism and implicit bias training? Will parents be allowed to review this training material before our children interact with these officers?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Student Data Privacy

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
Item VI.D seeks approval for a new two-year collective bargaining agreement with the clerical union. The full contract detailing changes to work rules and policies is not attached to the public agenda, only a brief cover memo, preventing public review before the vote.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes. If the full contract is not attached, email the board: ‘I demand Item VI.D be tabled until the full text of the OPEIU collective bargaining agreement is made public for parental review.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Public Oversight

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Large Payment to Outside Health Vendor
The district made a $35,125 payment to “Infinite Health Collaborative.” Large payments to outside health providers can signal the presence of school-based health services that may operate without direct parental consent or presence.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask: ‘What specific services does Infinite Health Collaborative provide to students, and where are they provided? Are parents required to be present and provide explicit, written consent for every student interaction with this vendor?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $35,125.00

District Pays $12,170 for “Leadership” Consultant
The district paid $12,169.51 to Studer Education LLC, a consulting firm that often uses “climate surveys” and data-driven methods to implement organizational change. These surveys can be a vehicle for collecting sensitive social-emotional data on students and staff without full parental transparency.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask: ‘Regarding the payment to Studer Education in the Financial Claims, is this vendor conducting student or staff surveys? If so, I demand to see the survey questions and the parental opt-out form before any data is collected.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $12,169.51

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
“Future-Ready” Student Software Purchase
The district spent $9,348.50 on XELLO, a “college and career readiness” software platform. These platforms can embed Social Emotional Learning (SEL) concepts and “global citizen” priorities under the guise of preparing students for the future.
Recommended Action Plan
Monitor: Ask your high school student if they are using the XELLO platform and what kind of questions or modules it includes. Report any non-academic, value-based, or SEL-related content to your chapter leadership.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $9,348.50
