📄 View Official Agenda
Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Forest Hills Public Schools. We found 4 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7)
Renewal of Massive Student Data System
📅 2026-06-03
Minutes from the previous meeting show the district renewed its contract with PowerSchool, a major student information system. These platforms can include modules for tracking student behavior and social-emotional status, often without direct parental consent for each data point collected.
Recommended Action Plan

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office. ‘Which specific PowerSchool modules has the district purchased? I am requesting a full list of all student data points collected and stored in the PowerSchool system and with whom that data is shared.’

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Privacy
⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6)
New Literature Textbooks for Middle School
📅 2026-08-05
The board is considering new literature textbooks (“Into Literature” from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt) for all 6th-8th graders. Parents have a right to know if these materials contain embedded ideological content and to review them before they are purchased with tax dollars.
Recommended Action Plan

DEMAND REVIEW: Contact the District Office. ‘I request that the full “Into Literature” curriculum from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt be made available for parental review online or in-person before the Board votes on this significant purchase.’

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Ideology in ELA
👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5)
Student Progress Monitoring or Data Mining?
📅 2026-08-05
The district is renewing its contract for NWEA MAP Growth testing for all K-8 students. While presented as a tool to measure academic progress, these systems collect vast amounts of student data that can be used for purposes beyond just academics.
Recommended Action Plan

OPT-OUT ALERT: Contact the District Office. Ask for the specific parental opt-out policy for NWEA MAP testing and inquire how student data is stored, who it is shared with, and for what purposes beyond academic assessment.

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Data
ALERT (LEVEL 4)
Approval of Book with Mature Themes for 9th Grade
📅 2026-08-05
The board is approving the book “orbiting jupiter” for a 9th-grade honors English class. The book deals with sensitive topics including abuse and the juvenile justice system, which parents must be made aware of before it is assigned to their children.
Recommended Action Plan

DEMAND NOTIFICATION: Contact the District Office. ‘Regarding the approval of “orbiting jupiter,” what is the district’s policy for notifying parents of books with mature themes and providing an alternative assignment upon parental request?’

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Parental Notification
