District Renews Student Surveillance Contract with Panorama Education
The district is spending $34,827 to renew its contract with Panorama Education for K-12 “SEL Screeners.” This program surveys students three times a year on their private thoughts and feelings to identify “non-academic barriers” and assign them to interventions, with teachers filling out the survey for children as young as kindergarten.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a critical threat to student privacy. Email the Board of Education (contacts on district website): ‘I do not consent to psychological screening of my child. Pull Item 10.I from the Consent Agenda and Vote NO on the Panorama contract.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $34,827 + Your Child’s Privacy

District Expands School-Based Mental Health Services
The district is paying nearly $50,000 to the Center for Childhood Resilience and Lurie Children’s Hospital for “mental health” training. This program trains school staff to screen students and run “group interventions” for issues like trauma and coping, creating a pathway for clinical services at school without direct parental involvement.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Education (contacts on district website): ‘Regarding Item 10.J, what are the specific parental notification and consent policies for these mental health screenings and interventions? This item must be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a full public discussion.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $49,808.10

Board Proposes New Rules to Police Itself
The Board is voting on “Progressive Response Protocols” to address “questionable conduct” by its own members. These vague rules could be used to intimidate and silence board members who represent parents and challenge the administration’s agenda.
Recommended Action Plan
PROTECT YOUR VOICE: Email the Board of Education (contacts on district website): ‘Vote NO on Item 20.B. Vague conduct protocols are often used to silence dissent. The public, not an internal policy, should be the judge of a board member’s performance.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Board Oversight

District to Pay $100,000 for SEL Mentoring Program
The district plans to give $100,000 to the “Dream Big Youth Foundation” for a “breakfast club” and after-school program. The program uses school data to target students for support in areas like “behavior, engagement, belonging” and provides Social Emotional Learning (SEL).
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE HARD QUESTIONS: Email the Board of Education (contacts on district website): ‘Regarding Item 10.A, what is the specific SEL curriculum used by Dream Big Youth Foundation? Parents have a right to review all materials before you spend $100,000 on this outside group.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $100,000

District Spends $41k on “Equity” and “Identity” Art Curriculum
The district is spending $41,018 to renew the “Art of Education” curriculum specifically because it “elevates equity” and provides “identity-affirming” resources. This shifts the focus of art class from skill and creativity to political and social concepts.
Recommended Action Plan
FOCUS ON ACADEMICS: Email the Board of Education (contacts on district website): ‘Regarding Item 10.U, art class should be about art, not ideology. Please pull this from the Consent Agenda and find a curriculum focused on foundational art skills.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $41,018.40
