Heads up! We have scanned the upcoming agenda for Wayne-Westland Community School District. We found 5 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Vague “Audio Enhancement” Purchase
The board is voting on a $49,970 purchase for “Audio Enhancement” technology across the district (Item VII.b). The vague description and missing attachment could conceal surveillance technology capable of monitoring or recording students in classrooms.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) regarding Item VII.b. Ask: ‘What is the ‘Audio Enhancement’ platform? Does it have the capability to record audio or video in classrooms? Who has access to the data it collects?’
π° Taxpayer Impact: $49,970

Undisclosed Superintendent Contract Changes
The board plans to approve an amendment to the Superintendent’s contract as part of the Consent Agenda (Item V.b.iv), with no details provided. This prevents public scrutiny of changes to the district leader’s pay, performance goals, or other responsibilities, which could be substantial.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Board of Education (see the Official Agenda link) and demand that Item V.b.iv, the Superintendent Contract Amendment, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and public vote. Parents have a right to know about changes to the superintendent’s compensation and duties.
π° Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Board Oversight

Undisclosed Vendor Payments Hidden in Consent Agenda
Item V.c.i bundles all ‘Payment of Invoices’ for a single vote without disclosing the vendors or amounts. This is a common tactic to push through payments to controversial ideological consultants or curriculum providers without parental oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and demand that the full check register for Item V.c.i be made public before the vote. Hiding vendor payments prevents parents from seeing if their tax dollars are funding controversial programs.
π° Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |

District Adopts “Whole Child” Focus Over Academics
The Student Achievement Committee minutes (part of Item VI.a) confirm a board member directed the superintendent to focus on supporting the “whole child.” This is a well-known euphemism for Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and signals an intentional shift away from core academics toward psychological programming in the classroom.
Recommended Action Plan
PUSH FOR ACADEMICS: Contact the Board of Education (see the Official Agenda link) regarding the Student Achievement Committee report (Item VI.a). State: ‘The committee’s purpose should be academic excellence, not ‘whole child’ social programming. Prioritize reading, math, and science.’
π° Taxpayer Impact: Focus Shift from Academics

| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
District Hires “Behavior Coordinator”
Buried in the HR placements on the Consent Agenda (Item V.b.ii) is the hiring of a “Behavior Coordinator.” This role is often key to implementing non-academic systems like Restorative Practices, which can replace consequences for misbehavior with therapeutic interventions and data tracking.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) about the HR placements in Item V.b.ii. Ask: ‘What specific discipline framework will the new Behavior Coordinator implement, and does it replace traditional discipline with therapeutic models?’
π° Taxpayer Impact: Ideological Discipline
