| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
District Approving $27,775 for Student Monitoring Software
Buried in the $4.7M bill payment list is a $27,775 payment to Stryke Security Inc for “Lightspeed Filter” and “Lightspeed Alert.” This software can monitor students’ online activity, raising significant privacy and data collection concerns.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: This was hidden in the Consent Agenda. Contact the District Office: ‘Regarding the $27,775 payment to Stryke Security for Lightspeed, what data is collected on students, who has access to it, and is there an opt-out for parents? This requires a public discussion, not a rubber stamp.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $27,775 / Student Privacy

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |

Sex Ed Curriculum Review Occurred in July Meeting
The minutes from the July 27th meeting confirm the district’s Sex Education Advisory Board (SEAB) presented a curriculum material review. This happened without advance notice to parents for this month’s meeting, and we need to know what materials were reviewed and if they are being considered for adoption.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: Contact the District Office: ‘What specific curriculum materials were presented by the Sex Education Advisory Board on July 27th? We demand these materials be made public for parental review before any adoption is considered.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Parental Consent Bypassed

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Board Member Attended Conference Tied to Anti-Parent NSBA
The July minutes show the board approved a member to attend the Council of Urban Boards of Education (CUBE) Conference. CUBE is affiliated with the National School Boards Association (NSBA), the group that infamously asked the Biden administration to investigate parents as potential domestic terrorists.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE HARD QUESTIONS: Contact the District Office: ‘Which board member attended the CUBE conference in October? We deserve a public report on what they learned and what positions they supported with our district’s resources, given CUBE’s affiliation with the anti-parent NSBA.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Alignment with Anti-Parent Groups
|
| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Board Appointing Delegates to State Lobbying Group
The board is certifying delegates for the Michigan Association of School Boards (MASB). MASB often lobbies the state legislature on education policy, sometimes taking positions that undermine parental rights. This uses local district standing to influence state law.
Recommended Action Plan
PUT THEM ON NOTICE: Contact the District Office: ‘We expect our board’s delegates to the MASB to represent the will of parents and taxpayers, not the education bureaucracy. Please confirm your delegates will vote against any resolutions that weaken parental rights.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying
|
| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Vague Contract with Dropout Recovery Vendor
The district is paying “Graduation Alliance, Inc.” over $11,000 for dropout recovery services. The curriculum and methods used by these third-party vendors are often opaque and can include alternative, non-academic content that bypasses normal parental review.
Recommended Action Plan
VERIFY THE CURRICULUM: Contact the District Office: ‘Regarding the payments to Graduation Alliance, can you provide parents with full access to the curriculum and materials this vendor uses with our students? We need to ensure it aligns with our community’s academic standards.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $11,306.34
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
New Social Worker Hired, Parental Consent is Key
The district is hiring a Special Education Social Worker under the consent agenda. While social workers can provide valuable support, their services can also lead to interventions or collection of sensitive student data without full parental knowledge or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
ESTABLISH BOUNDARIES: Contact the District Office: ‘Regarding the new social worker position, please confirm the district has a clear, written policy requiring signed parental consent before a student receives any non-academic counseling or intervention services.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Services Without Consent
