| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |
|
New Student Data-Mining Software Purchased
The district paid $8,435.13 for ‘eduCLIMBER’ and ‘FastBridge’ software. These are data dashboard and screening systems used to collect and analyze extensive non-academic data on students for ‘interventions,’ often without full parental knowledge or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a major student surveillance system. Contact the School Board (see official agenda link for details): ‘Vote NO on approving the payment for eduCLIMBER (Check #82972). What specific data is being collected on my child, who will have access to it, and how can I opt out? We do not consent to data-mining our children.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $8,435.13

District Placing $3 Million Referendum on Ballot
A state financial report shows the district is placing a referendum on the November 3rd ballot to exceed the revenue cap by $750,000 per year for four years, totaling $3 million. The stated purpose is vague, listed only as ‘Non-Recurring Purposes,’ which gives the district a blank check.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND A DETAILED PLAN: This is a massive tax increase. Attend the meeting and contact the School Board (see district website): ‘Before we vote on a $3 million referendum, parents demand a detailed, line-item budget showing exactly how every dollar will be spent. We will not approve a blank check.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $3,000,000 Tax Increase

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
District Buys ‘Social Emotional’ Curriculum
The district spent $2,999 on ‘Character Strong,’ a curriculum for ‘social, emotional, and character development.’ This type of program often replaces core academics with subjective lessons on feelings and social skills, which can be a vehicle for ideological content.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: This was approved without public review. Email the School Board (contact info on district website): ‘I demand to see the full curriculum and teacher training materials for the ‘Character Strong’ program (Check #82938) before it is used in any classroom. Parents have a right to review what our children are being taught.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $2,999.00

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
New Student Cell Phone Policy (First Reading)
The board is considering a new policy to regulate student use of personal devices like cell phones. This is a critical opportunity for parents to influence a policy that affects student safety, privacy, and the learning environment.
Recommended Action Plan
SHAPE THE POLICY: Review the draft policy (po5136) in the agenda attachments. Email the School Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the new cell phone policy, we support the strongest possible restrictions to protect the learning environment and urge you to adopt Option C, which prohibits use during school hours.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Student Privacy & Safety

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Tax Dollars Fund Lobbying Group
The district paid $3,769 in membership dues to the Wisconsin Association of School Boards (WASB). This group lobbies the state legislature on education policy, often taking positions that weaken parental rights and local control.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE BOARD: Contact the School Board (see district website for contact info): ‘What specific legislation is the WASB lobbying for with our tax dollars? Does the Board have a process for reviewing the WASB’s platform to ensure it aligns with the values of Glenwood City parents?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $3,769.00

New ‘WIN’ Program May Be Hidden Intervention System
The Middle School principal’s report introduces a new ‘MS WIN’ (What I Need) program. While framed as academic support, these types of programs are often vehicles for Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) which can involve behavioral and emotional interventions without parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
SEEK CLARITY: Email the School Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the new MS WIN program, please provide details on what specific ‘needs’ will be addressed. Will this program involve any social-emotional or behavioral screening or intervention, and what is the parental notification and opt-out process?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Student Interventions
