District Pays Vendor for Social-Emotional Learning (SEL)
The vendor report shows a $599 payment to Everyday Speech LLC, a company that sells a video-based Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) curriculum. This indicates the district is spending money on SEL materials, which often replace academic instruction with subjective social engineering.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘The vendor report lists a payment to “Everyday Speech LLC,” an SEL curriculum provider. What is this program, which students will receive it, and will parents have the right to review all materials and opt their children out?’
💰 Impact: $599

Board to Vote on Undisclosed Staff Stipends
Item 4.A, ‘Staff Stipends,’ is on the agenda for a vote with no attached documents, description, or cost. This prevents public oversight of how taxpayer money is being spent and whether it is for academic purposes or to fund ideological clubs or roles.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Item 4.A, Staff Stipends, must be tabled until a full public disclosure is provided detailing the recipients, purpose, and total cost of these payments. We demand a transparent vote, not a blank check.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed

District Renews Contract with Biased News Source for Students
The district is spending $4,873.05 on a subscription to Newsela, an online news platform for students. Newsela has been criticized for curating articles with a significant left-leaning bias, which can influence how students perceive current events without parents’ knowledge.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK FIRST: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Regarding the $4,873.05 payment to Newsela, what is the district’s process for vetting the ideological bias of digital content providers before they are used in the classroom? Parents deserve to know these materials are balanced and age-appropriate.’
💰 Impact: $4,873.05

District Spends on Screen-Time Software for Special Ed
The district is spending $599 on IXL software for math skills, specifically for special education students. Parents need to know what this screen time replaces and what independent, non-vendor-funded evidence the district has that this software improves academic outcomes.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Regarding the $599 purchase of IXL software, what is the expected daily screen time for students using this program? Please provide the independent, non-vendor-funded studies showing this product’s effectiveness before the vote.’
💰 Impact: $599
