District to Pay $72K for Student Truancy & Data Platform
The district plans to spend $71,985 on a contract with EveryDay Labs for a “personalized truancy solution.” This program will share extensive student and family data—including names, addresses, contact info, and demographics—with this third-party vendor to analyze data, coordinate “interventions,” and track student progress.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a massive student data-mining operation disguised as attendance help. Call Board President Sara Elaqad at (216) 838-0000 and email Superintendent Warren Morgan II at warren.morgan@clevelandmetroschools.org: ‘Vote NO on Item 8.01. We do not consent to sharing our family’s private data with EveryDay Labs for undefined ‘interventions’.’

District Approving $372K for GPS and Student Tracking Software
Under the consent agenda, the district is authorizing a $372,912.00 contract with Education Logistics for software that includes routing, GPS, and student tracking. This technology creates a detailed surveillance record of student movements and activities, justified by safety and efficiency.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email Superintendent Warren Morgan II at warren.morgan@clevelandmetroschools.org: ‘I demand Item 7.01 be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. Parents deserve to know the full extent of the student tracking and surveillance capabilities in this $372,912 contract.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $372,912.00

Absenteeism Strategy Reframed Around Student Feelings
The district’s progress report on “chronic absenteeism” frames the problem in social-emotional terms, citing student “connectedness,” “belonging,” and “relationships” as key factors. The proposed solutions include implementing “district-wide classroom culture plans” and “Check In/Check Out” protocols, shifting focus from academics to emotional management.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE HARD QUESTIONS: During public comment for Item 11.01, ask the board: ‘What exactly is in a ‘district-wide classroom culture plan’? How do you measure ‘belonging’ and ‘connectedness’, and how does this focus on feelings, rather than academics, solve the truancy crisis?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Replacing Academics with SEL

After-the-Fact Approval for “Leadership Academy”
Buried in a list of after-the-fact payments under Item 5.02 are two payments totaling $9,000 to “Effective Leadership Academy (ELA).” This appears to be payment for services that were rendered without a proper purchase order, likely for a Social Emotional Learning (SEL) program that bypassed standard approval.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Item 5.02 is on the Consent Agenda. Email Superintendent Warren Morgan II at warren.morgan@clevelandmetroschools.org: ‘Regarding the ‘Then and Now’ certificate for Effective Leadership Academy in Item 5.02, what services were provided to students? Parents deserve to know about SEL-style programs before they are purchased, not after the fact.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $9,000
