School to Implement “Character Strong” SEL Screener
The Prairie Heights improvement plan introduces a new goal to measure students’ ‘Prairie Ready Skills’ using a ‘Character Strong Strengths and Needs Screener.’ This is a Social Emotional Learning (SEL) program that functions as a psychological survey, collecting data on student attitudes and behaviors like self-regulation.
Recommended Action Plan
Email the School Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the Prairie Heights School Improvement Plan under Item II, I am concerned about the use of the ‘Character Strong’ SEL screener. What specific data is collected on students, who has access to it, and what is the parental notification and opt-out process? We need academics, not attitude surveys.’

School Adopts “Culturally Responsive” DEI Practices
The Prairie Hill improvement plan states its attendance goals will be achieved through ‘culturally responsive practices’ with a focus on specific racial subgroups. This approach injects race-based ideology into school policy, prioritizing group identity over individual student needs and academic achievement.
Recommended Action Plan
Email the School Board (contact info on district website): ‘The Prairie Hill plan’s focus on ‘culturally responsive practices’ under Item II is concerning. School policies should be applied equally to all students, regardless of race. Please ensure the district is focused on academic excellence for every child, not on divisive racial ideology.’
💰 Impact: Dividing Students by Race

District to Survey Students on Feelings of “Connectedness”
The Prairie Crest plan includes a goal for students to report a high score for ‘Connectedness’ on the ‘School Perceptions Student Survey.’ This is a school climate survey that collects subjective data on student feelings and attitudes, a form of psychological surveillance that has no place in academics.
Recommended Action Plan
Email the School Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the Prairie Crest plan under Item II, parents must be able to review the full ‘School Perceptions Student Survey’ and have a clear opt-out process for their children. Please provide a link to the survey questions and the opt-out form before any students are surveyed.’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

District Expanding “MTSS” Intervention Framework
The Prairie Ridge and Prairie Crest improvement plans explicitly state a goal to ‘implement and sustain MTSS structures’ to manage student attendance. MTSS (Multi-Tiered System of Supports) is a framework that can lead to students being targeted for behavioral or academic interventions and data tracking, often without full parental knowledge or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
Email the School Board (contact info on district website): ‘The School Improvement Plans under Item II mention implementing MTSS structures. What specific interventions does this involve, what data is collected on students placed in tiers, and what is the process for parental notification and consent before a child is moved into a higher tier of support?’
💰 Impact: Labeling Your Child

District Increases Student Screen Time with i-Ready
Multiple School Improvement Plans show heavy reliance on the ‘i-Ready’ software for math assessment and instruction, with one school mandating up to 60 minutes per week. This increases student screen time and dependence on EdTech, yet the district provides no independent evidence that this software is more effective than direct teacher instruction.
Recommended Action Plan
Email the School Board (contact info on district website): ‘The School Improvement Plans under Item II rely heavily on i-Ready. Before the district continues using this software, please provide parents with independent, non-vendor-funded studies proving its academic effectiveness and state how much daily screen time it adds for a typical student.’
💰 Impact: More Screen Time
