Massive $16.3M Spending Package on Consent Agenda
The board is set to approve over $16.3 million in spending as part of a single ‘consent agenda’ vote, with no public discussion or breakdown of where the money is going. This bundles all spending, from routine bills to potentially controversial vendors or programs, into one vote to avoid scrutiny by parents.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Education (contact info on the district website) before the meeting: ‘Regarding Consent Item 3.C, I demand the full bill list be made public and that any payments to third-party consultants, curriculum providers, or ideological vendors be pulled for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. Parents have a right to know how our $16.3 million is being spent.’
💰 Impact: $16,371,930.83

District Recommends New Student Data & Assessment Software
The board is voting on a subscription to ‘Renaissance Illuminate Software,’ a student-facing educational technology platform used for testing and data collection. This purchase increases student screen time and raises questions about data privacy, yet the district has not provided evidence that this software improves academic outcomes or disclosed what student data will be collected.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Education (contact info on the district website) regarding Item 6.A.2.b: ‘Before approving the Renaissance Illuminate software, please provide the public with independent, non-vendor-supplied evidence of its academic effectiveness, the total daily screen time it will add for students, and the full data privacy policy. Parents deserve proof of value before you purchase more screen time for our kids.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Cost, Student Data

‘Child Find’ Policy Revision Introduced Without Public Text
The board is introducing a ‘First Reading’ of a revised ‘Child Find’ policy. While this is a required federal program to identify students with disabilities, these policies can be expanded to include subjective behavioral or mental health screenings without full parental consent. The actual text of the proposed policy revision has not been included in the agenda for parents to review.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The text for Policy 2000.03 is not in the agenda. Email the Board of Education (contact info on the district website): ‘Please provide the full text of the proposed revision to Policy 2000.03 – Child Find before the first reading at the November 10th meeting. Parents must be able to review any changes related to student screening and identification.’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Privacy
