$1.3M for ‘Intervention’ Tutoring Contract, Details Undisclosed
The board plans to approve a $1.3 million contract with Brainfuse for math ‘intervention’ tutoring for 1,500 students under item 5.10. While academic help is good, the term ‘intervention’ is often a gateway for Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and student data collection. The actual contract detailing the program’s content was not attached to the public agenda, preventing parental review.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE & DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email Chief Academic Officer Leenet Campbell-Williams at leenet.campbell-williams@detroitk12.org: ‘Regarding Item 5.10, the $1.3M Brainfuse contract must be pulled for public review. Parents need to see the full contract to verify this “intervention” is purely academic and does not include SEL or invasive student data collection.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $1,311,700

District Approving $760k for ‘Key Messaging’ and Rebranding
The board is set to approve a $759,937 contract with Adwater Media, Inc. for marketing services under item 5.02. The contract is intended to ‘saturate Detroit’ with the district’s ‘key messaging’ and promote its updated Strategic Plan. Parents need to know exactly what ‘key messaging’ is being pushed to the community with this large amount of taxpayer money, and whether it aligns with a focus on academics or a different agenda.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email Chief Engagement Officer Sharlonda Buckman at sharlonda.buckman@detroitk12.org: ‘Regarding Item 5.02, before approving $760,000 for marketing, the board must present the “key messaging” and the updated Strategic Plan to the public. We will not fund a PR campaign for an agenda we haven’t seen.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $759,937
