SEL Vendor Purchase Hidden in Consent Agenda
A payment of $2,999.95 to ‘Everyday Speech LLC,’ a known Social Emotional Learning (SEL) curriculum provider, is buried deep within the bill list. The board plans to approve this payment without discussion as part of the Consent Agenda (Item 6.C.e.4), preventing public scrutiny of this ideological purchase.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM. Email the Board (contact info on the district website): ‘I demand Item 6.C.e.4, Approval of Bills, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. The public deserves to know why the district is spending money on SEL curriculum from ‘Everyday Speech LLC’ instead of focusing on academics.’
💰 Impact: $2,999.95

District to Outsource Student Psychological Evaluations
The board is voting to approve a contract with an outside company, Psychoeducational Resource Services, Inc., to conduct psychological evaluations of students. This means private contractors, not district employees, will be performing sensitive testing and assessments on children at a rate of $250 per hour.
Recommended Action Plan
Email the Board before the meeting (contact info on the district website): ‘Regarding Item 6.C.a, parents must have the right to approve any outside psychological evaluators for their child. Who are these contractors and what are their methods? This contract requires full transparency and a public discussion.’
💰 Impact: Outsourced Psychological Testing

$28,000 Contract for Vague ‘AI Training’
The board plans to approve a $28,000 contract with an individual consultant, Joseph Fatheree, for ‘AI professional development services.’ The agreement provides no detail on what this training involves, how it benefits students, or what student data will be accessed.
Recommended Action Plan
Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item 6.C.b, I request the Board table the $28,000 contract with Joseph Fatheree until a public presentation is made explaining exactly what ‘AI professional development’ is and what safeguards are in place for student data.’
💰 Impact: $28,000

District Complies with Financial Transparency Request
Agenda item 6.C.c shows the district properly and promptly fulfilled a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for vendor payment records. This is a positive sign of the district’s commitment to transparency and accountability to taxpayers.
How to Lock It In
Show up to thank the Board during public comment for their compliance with the Freedom of Information Act under item 6.C.c. Publicly acknowledging good behavior encourages more of it and puts on the record that parents are watching and appreciate transparency.
✅ Why It Matters: Taxpayer Accountability
