District Approves $69k Contract with Student Data-Mining Firm
Buried in the consent agenda is a $68,950 payment to Panorama Education, a company known for collecting sensitive social-emotional data on students through surveys. This contract allows the district to build psychological profiles on our children, often without meaningful parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a critical threat. Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details) and demand ‘Item VIII.2, specifically PO #0000032391 to Panorama Education, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a full discussion and roll-call vote. We do not consent to psychological data-mining of our children.’
💰 Impact: $68,950.00

District Pays $16k for Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Software
The district is paying nearly $16,000 for software from CharacterStrong, a vendor that sells Social Emotional Learning (SEL) curriculum. This diverts classroom time and resources from core academics to focus on teaching subjective values and emotions.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details) and ask: ‘Regarding Warrant #12018300 to CharacterStrong in Consent Item VIII.2, where can parents review the full curriculum before it is used with students? Is this curriculum mandatory, and what is the parental opt-out process?’
💰 Impact: $15,992.00

District Accepts $70,000 with Ideological Strings Attached
The district is accepting a $70,000 state-funded stipend to join a ‘Community Engagement Initiative’ run by the California Collaborative for Educational Excellence (CCEE). This program uses vague language like ‘difficult conversations’ which are often Trojan horses for DEI and equity initiatives that don’t improve academic outcomes.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: This is an ‘Information’ item (VI.1), not a vote, but you can still speak on it. Ask the Board during public comment: ‘What specific ‘difficult conversations’ will this $70,000 initiative facilitate? Will parents be able to review all materials and opt-out of any related surveys or activities?’
💰 Impact: $70,000 (State Strings Attached)

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The district is entering a partnership with Escondido Education COMPACT to provide services like counseling and social-emotional learning to students. These outside partnerships can operate without full parental oversight, and the actual agreement (MOU) was not included in the agenda packet for public review.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) for Item VIII.6 to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes. Email the Board: ‘Please postpone the vote on the MOU with Escondido Education COMPACT until the full text of the agreement is made easily available for public review.’
💰 Impact: Parental Oversight

‘Portrait of a Learner’ Initiative Pushes Social-Emotional Skills
The district is presenting a ‘Portrait of a Learner’ under agenda item III.2. These initiatives often sound good but are used to shift focus from core academics like reading and math to subjective, values-laden concepts like ‘global citizenship’ and social-emotional skills.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Attend the meeting and ask the Board during the presentation on Item III.2: ‘How will this ‘Portrait of a Learner’ be measured? How does it prioritize academic achievement over subjective social-emotional traits, and will parents have the right to opt their children out of any related surveys or instruction?’
💰 Impact: Focus on Academics

Board Mandates Stricter Training for Itself
The Board is voting to require its members to complete mandatory training in district finance, ethics, and their responsibilities as mandated reporters. This increases accountability and ensures Board members are better equipped to oversee the district responsibly.
How to Lock It In
SUPPORT & SECURE: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details) to thank them for adopting Item IV.1, BB 9240. Publicly supporting good governance makes it harder to reverse later and encourages more accountability.
✅ Why It Matters: Increased Accountability
