Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Bondurant-Farrar Comm School District. We found 4 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Massive Batch of Policy Changes Hidden from View
The board is conducting a “first review” of dozens of board policies, including creating new ones (like 503.11), redlining others, and rescinding some. The actual text of these proposed changes is in an attachment that could not be extracted, making public review before the meeting impossible. This is how districts quietly change rules on student discipline, gender identity, and parental notification.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE & DELAY: The file ‘Board Policies for 1st review 8.10.26.pdf’ attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) must be reviewed immediately. Email the Board: ‘We demand the First Reading of all policy changes under Item 2.A be postponed until the full redlined text is made public for at least 7 days for parental review.’

SEL Program Found Buried in Invoice List
A payment of $276 to “Emotional ABCs, Inc.” is listed in the prepaid invoices. This is a Social Emotional Learning (SEL) program being purchased by the district, likely for use with younger students, without being listed as a major curriculum adoption. This is how SEL gets a foothold in our schools — not through a curriculum vote, but slipped into the budget as a minor line item.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask: ‘Regarding the $276 payment to Emotional ABCs Inc., which schools and grades will use this SEL program? I demand to review the full curriculum and receive the official opt-out form before it is used on my child.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $276.00

District Plans to Overhaul “Guidance/Counseling” Curriculum
The district’s long-term curriculum plan shows that “Guidance/Counseling/At Risk” programs are scheduled for analysis this school year, with potential adoption next year. This is the primary channel through which districts introduce Social Emotional Learning (SEL), mental health screenings, and other psychological programming into schools.
Recommended Action Plan
GET AHEAD OF IT: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask for the immediate formation of a parent-led review committee for the ‘Guidance/Counseling’ curriculum analysis. We must have a seat at the table before a vendor is chosen, not after.

District Spends $41K on Student Data Screening Platform
The district is spending $41,555 on a suite of software from Renaissance Learning, including STAR and Freckle programs. While presented as academic tools, these programs are built on “universal screeners” and continuous “progress monitoring” to collect detailed data on students for “targeted interventions.” This creates a data profile on your child and is the infrastructure for a Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS).
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding the Renaissance Learning purchase, who owns the student data collected by this platform? Please provide the specific parental opt-out form for STAR assessments and Freckle data collection before this is used.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $41,555.40
