| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |

District Using Panorama Education for Student Surveys
The district is paying Panorama Education $18,000 annually for ‘Perception Surveys’ given to students, staff, and families. Panorama is a data-mining firm known for collecting sensitive social-emotional data on students and promoting SEL and DEI ideologies, often without full parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a critical threat to student privacy. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘I demand you terminate the contract with Panorama Education. We do not consent to our children’s sensitive emotional data being collected and analyzed by third-party vendors. Vote NO on using these survey results.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $18,000 Annually

Undisclosed Personnel Hires on Consent Agenda
The board is voting to approve a list of new hires and other personnel changes bundled into the ‘Consent Agenda’ without public review. The attached report was not available for analysis, potentially hiding the appointment of ideological positions like DEI or SEL coordinators from public scrutiny.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Pull Item 13.a, the Personnel Report, from the Consent Agenda for a separate public discussion. Parents have a right to know who is being hired to teach our children.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Ideological Staffing

|
Undisclosed Spending on Consent Agenda
The board is approving a ‘Purchase Order List’ as part of a bundled vote, but the list of vendors and amounts is not included in the agenda. This tactic can be used to approve spending on controversial curriculum, consultants, or software without a public discussion.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Pull Item 13.e, the Purchase Order List, from the Consent Agenda. All district spending must be transparent and subject to public review before approval.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed

| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |

Consultant Hired for ‘Play-Based’ TK Training
The district is paying consultant Kristine Mraz $13,000 to train Transitional Kindergarten (TK) teachers on ‘learning through play’ and ‘play-based curriculum.’ While this sounds innocent, these terms can be used as cover to introduce Social Emotional Learning (SEL) concepts and reduce academic focus at a highly impressionable age.
Recommended Action Plan
VERIFY THE VENDOR: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item 13.d, please provide the public with Kristine Mraz’s training materials for review. Parents must be able to verify that TK instruction remains focused on academic readiness, not social engineering.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $13,000

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |

New Artificial Intelligence Policy – Manual Review Required
The board is adopting a new policy on Artificial Intelligence (BP 0441) based on a template from the California School Boards Association. The actual policy text was not available for review, making it impossible to know what protections are in place for student data privacy or to prevent the use of AI for student surveillance or biased instruction.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘R24-26-27’ attached to Item 11.a in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm the policy language. Email the Board with any concerns about student data collection, privacy, and parental oversight.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Privacy
