Heads up! We have scanned the upcoming agenda for Shakopee Public School District. We found 6 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
‘Blank Check’ Bond Vote Without Public Documents
The board is scheduled to vote on a resolution for a major facilities bond, but the final documents will not be made public until after the bond is sold on the day of the meeting. This prevents any public review or input on a significant financial decision that impacts taxpayers for years to come.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND A DELAY: Contact the School Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info) and demand: ‘Do not vote on Item 9.1, the bond resolution, until the final documents have been public for at least 72 hours. Voting on a financial instrument the public has not seen is a violation of public trust.’
💰 Impact: Taxpayer Debt Without Review

Public Comment Limited to 15 Minutes Total
The board is capping the entire public comment period for all parents and community members at only 15 minutes total. This severely restricts the ability of parents to voice their concerns and hold the board accountable on important issues.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TO BE HEARD: Contact the School Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info) and state: ‘Regarding Item 5, the 15-minute total limit on public comment is an unacceptable restriction on parental rights. We demand you extend this time to allow for meaningful community feedback at every meeting.’
💰 Impact: Suppressed Parent Voice

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The board is voting to approve ‘Plan A’ for the Pearson Early Learning Center (Item 9.3), but the actual plan documents are not attached to the agenda. Early learning centers are often where social-emotional learning and other ideological programs are first introduced to the youngest students.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘PELC Work Group Plan A Recommendation’ attached to Item 9.3 in the Official Agenda (linked above). Scrutinize it for keywords like ‘social-emotional learning,’ ‘equity,’ ‘whole child,’ or partnerships with ideological vendors.
💰 Impact: Hidden Early Childhood Curriculum

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
Item 6.3 approves the payment of all district bills, but the list of vendors and amounts was not included in the agenda packet. This ‘blank check’ could hide payments to ideological consultants or controversial curriculum providers without public scrutiny.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file for Item 6.3 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether the list of bills has been uploaded. If it has, scan for payments to vendors like Panorama, CASEL, or other SEL/DEI providers.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending
|
| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
Item 6.4 approves wire transfers, but the report detailing these transfers was not included in the agenda packet. This prevents parents from seeing large financial transactions before they are approved.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file for Item 6.4 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether the wires report has been uploaded. Check for any large or unusual fund transfers.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Transfers
|
| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The board is voting to renew ‘Academy Champion Agreements’ (Item 9.4), but the actual contracts are not attached. These corporate partnerships could involve student data sharing or grant curriculum influence to outside groups, but parents can’t know without seeing the documents.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the files attached to Item 9.4 in the Official Agenda (linked above). Review the agreement renewals for any clauses related to student data privacy, curriculum development, or other ‘strings attached’ to the partnership.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Corporate Influence
