Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Grand Rapids Public Schools. We found 2 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7)
Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying Against Parental Rights
📅 July 27, 2026
Under Item 4.2, the Board is appointing delegates to the Michigan Association of School Boards (MASB) Assembly. The MASB is a powerful lobbying group in Lansing that frequently opposes parental rights initiatives, such as curriculum transparency and parental notification bills. This action uses local district resources to empower a statewide organization that may actively lobby against the interests of Grand Rapids parents.
Recommended Action Plan

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Education. ‘Before you vote on Item 4.2, please state for the public record which specific MASB legislative positions you will direct your delegates to support. Will they be instructed to vote in favor of parental rights and full curriculum transparency? Parents deserve to know how our district will be represented.’ We recommend members verify board member emails on the district website.

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Using district resources to fund political lobbying.
⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6)
Using ‘Mental Health’ Grant for School Surveillance
📅 July 27, 2026
Item 6.1 details a ‘Purchasing Agenda Addendum’ that spends over $675,000 from a ‘School Mental Health and School Safety Grant.’ Instead of funding counselors or student support, the money is being used to buy a massive surveillance package: district-wide vape sensors, new video cameras, walk-through weapons detectors for daily student entry, and electronic key boxes. This shifts ‘mental health’ funding towards treating students like suspects and creating a prison-like environment, rather than addressing root causes of student wellness.
Recommended Action Plan

OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the Board of Education. ‘Regarding Item 6.1, why is a ‘Mental Health’ grant being spent on surveillance hardware instead of actual mental health support for our children? Parents want more counselors, not metal detectors. Please provide a full accounting of this grant’s spending restrictions before the vote.’ We recommend members verify board member emails on the district website.

💰 Taxpayer Impact: $675,822 (Strings-Attached Grant Money)
