Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Guttenberg School District. We found 4 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
Student Data Mining Platform Approved Without Discussion
Buried in the Claims List (part of the consent agenda) is a $36,912 payment to ‘Linkit! Advanced Assessment Systems.’ This is a massive student data collection and analysis platform. These systems create detailed digital profiles of students, tracking their academic performance and potentially other data points, often without direct, ongoing parental consent. This is a major step towards data-driven social engineering in the classroom.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: This must be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate vote. Email the Board of Education: ‘Regarding PO #27-00090, I demand a public discussion on the LinkIt! data platform. Who owns my child’s data? What specific data points are being collected? Provide the parental opt-out form before this is approved.’ Advise members to find board contact information on the district website.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $36,912.00

New Student Behavior Surveillance Systems
The district is paying ‘EdClick, Inc.’ for ‘Behavior Management’ software ($2,880) and ‘Navigate 360’ for ‘visitor Management’ ($455.82). Navigate 360 is a major national vendor that bundles Social Emotional Learning (SEL) with threat assessment and student surveillance. ‘Behavior Management’ software creates a permanent digital disciplinary record for your child. These are not simple administrative tools; they are the foundation for a school-wide surveillance system.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the Board of Education: ‘Regarding POs #27-00069 and #27-00066, what specific student behaviors are being tracked by EdClick and Navigate 360? How is this data used and who can access it? Parents must have the right to opt their children out of this digital monitoring.’ Advise members to find board contact information on the district website.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $3,335.82

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Teacher Training Shifted from Academics to ‘Attitudes’
The district’s new Professional Development Plan (Item 7.02) states a goal of infusing training with ‘affective level concepts to improve attitudes and environmental factors.’ This is classic doublespeak for Social Emotional Learning (SEL). It directs teachers to focus on shaping a child’s feelings, beliefs, and attitudes, taking precious time away from core subjects like math, reading, and history. This is a shift from education to indoctrination.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY: Email the Board of Education: ‘Regarding Item 7.02, I demand a clear definition of ‘affective level concepts.’ Teacher training must focus on academic excellence and content knowledge, not on modifying student attitudes and beliefs. Vote NO on this plan until all SEL language is removed.’ Advise members to find board contact information on the district website.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed cost of teacher training time and resources.

Secret Policy Vote Violates Transparency
Under Item 8.01, the Board is scheduled to approve the ‘First Reading of a Staff Lateness Policy,’ but the actual text of the policy is not attached to the public agenda. Parents and taxpayers have a right to see the full text of any policy before the board votes on it. Approving undisclosed documents is a major transparency violation and sets a dangerous precedent for future, more controversial policies.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Education: ‘I demand that the vote on Item 8.01, the Staff Lateness Policy, be postponed until the full text of the proposed policy is made public on the district website for at least 48 hours. Do not vote on secret documents.’ Advise members to find board contact information on the district website.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: N/A
