| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |
|
District Spends $180,890 to Spy on Students
Buried in the bill list is a $180,890 payment to Gaggle.net, Inc. Gaggle is a surveillance company that uses AI to monitor student emails, online documents, and chats, flagging keywords for administrators and violating student privacy.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a massive violation of student privacy. Email the Board of Education (see the Official Agenda link for contact details): ‘I demand an immediate end to the contract with Gaggle.net, found in the bill list under Item 16.A. You do not have parental consent to spy on our children.’

School Pays $280,238 for Group Therapy Programs
A massive $280,238 payment was made to “Youth Guidance.” This organization runs school-based counseling and mentorship programs like “Becoming a Man” (BAM) that function as group therapy, replacing the role of parents in a child’s emotional and social development.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: Email the Board of Education (see the Official Agenda link for contact details): ‘Regarding the $280k payment to Youth Guidance (Item 16.A), what are parents’ specific opt-out rights for these programs? We do not co-parent with outside social service agencies.’

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
Math Class Replaced with Social Justice Curriculum
The district paid $172,118 for math curriculum from Carnegie Learning, Inc. This vendor is known for embedding Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and “social justice” concepts into math lessons, taking time and focus away from core academic skills.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND CURRICULUM REVIEW: Email the Board of Education (see the Official Agenda link for contact details): ‘Parents demand a full public review of the Carnegie Learning math curriculum (Item 16.A) before it is used in classrooms. We must ensure math class is for math, not social engineering.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Core Academics

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |

Key ‘Wraparound Services’ Director Position Opening
The personnel report shows the “Director of Wraparound Center Services” is retiring. “Wraparound services” is a key component of the “Community Schools” model, which often involves school-based health clinics and mental health services that operate without direct parental involvement, positioning the school to replace the family.
Recommended Action Plan
ENGAGE THE HIRING PROCESS: Email the Board of Education (see the Official Agenda link for contact details): ‘Regarding the retirement of the Director of Wraparound Services (Item 13.B), parents demand to be included in the hiring process for this critical role. We will not accept a director who believes the school, not the family, is the center of a child’s life.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Parental Authority

District Pays $87,000 for Teacher ‘Equity’ Training
An $87,000 payment was made to BloomBoard Inc. for teacher professional development. This platform often provides “micro-credentials” in ideological topics like DEI, SEL, and equity, training teachers to become activists in the classroom.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Education (see the Official Agenda link for contact details): ‘Regarding the BloomBoard contract (Item 16.A), please provide a list of all courses and “micro-credentials” teachers are taking. Taxpayer money should fund academic training, not political indoctrination.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $87,000

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Preschool Curriculum Creates Digital Dossiers on Kids
The district is spending $56,235 on a preschool curriculum called “Creative Curriculum Gold” and its “Teaching Strategies GOLD” assessment tool. This system creates online data profiles for preschool students by having staff log observations of their learning, building a digital dossier on your child from their first days in school.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Education (see the Official Agenda link for contact details): ‘Regarding Item 10.A, what specific data points are collected on preschool students through Teaching Strategies GOLD? Who owns this data, and with whom is it shared? Parents must have the right to review and delete their child’s data profile.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Data Profile

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |

Taxpayer-Funded Trip to Ideological Summit
The district is spending $1,135 for the Superintendent to attend the “Association of Latino Administrators and Superintendents (ALAS)” summit. ALAS is a professional organization that often promotes equity, identity politics, and other ideological frameworks that will be brought back and implemented in our schools.
Recommended Action Plan
PUT THEM ON NOTICE: Email the Board of Education (see the Official Agenda link for contact details): ‘Regarding Item 13.A, I object to taxpayer funds being used for the Superintendent to attend ideological conferences. Our district’s focus should be on academic excellence for all students, not identity-based administrative training.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $1,135

Consultant Contract with Ideological Buzzwords
The district is paying “Walker Quality Services” up to $30,684 for “Child Nutrition” consulting. The scope of work includes vague but concerning items like “Wellness Policy review,” “Civil Rights compliance training,” and assisting with “Wellness committees,” which can be entry points for non-academic social agendas.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Email the Board of Education (see the Official Agenda link for contact details): ‘Regarding Item 11.C, what specific “Civil Rights compliance training” will Walker Quality Services provide? Parents need assurance that this contract is focused on nutrition, not social engineering.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $30,684

| ALERT (LEVEL 2) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
Item 11.B approves $122,343.61 for “General Supplies,” but the primary attachment detailing the purchase (“FY27 GENERAL SUPPLIES.pdf”) was not accessible for analysis. While likely routine, large supply contracts can sometimes hide supplemental curriculum or other materials.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘FY27 GENERAL SUPPLIES.pdf’ attached to Item 11.B in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm it only contains routine school supplies and no supplemental curriculum materials.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $122,343.61
