Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for UNIVERSITY CITY. We found 7 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |
|
“Teen Outreach” Program Injects SEL into Class Time
The district is approving a multi-year contract with the Wyman Teen Outreach Program (TOP) to be embedded in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade Social Studies classes. The program includes “sexuality content” and grants the vendor broad access to student data, including grades, attendance, and demographic information, with consent bundled into the general school registration process.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a Trojan horse for SEL and data mining. Contact the Board of Education (see Official Agenda link): ‘Vote NO on the Wyman TOP contract in Item 1.01. Do not replace academics with social programming or sign away our children’s data privacy.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Student Data & Privacy

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
Mental Health Program Sidelines Parents
The district is approving a partnership with NAMI St. Louis for a mental health program called “Ending the Silence.” The agreement explicitly states the program will discuss sensitive topics like suicide and self-harm, and makes sending permission slips home to parents optional for the district.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Board of Education (see the Official Agenda link for contact info). ‘Regarding Item 1.01, the NAMI MOU must be amended to require mandatory, opt-in parental consent before any child is exposed to presentations on suicide and self-harm. The district must not have the option to hide this from parents.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Parental Consent

District to Pay $31K for “Equity” Science Coaching
The district is paying Washington University’s “Sci314 Program” $31,500 to “transform science teaching” through an “equity” lens. The contract includes “embedded coaching” for teachers and grants the university access to a wide range of student data, including test scores, work samples, and demographics.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Board of Education (see Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item 1.04, I oppose spending $31,500 on equity consultants. Focus on core academics, not social engineering in science class. Who owns the student data collected by Washington University?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $31,500 + Student Data
