Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Livonia Public Schools School District. We found 3 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
District to Spend $115k on Student Data-Mining Platform
The board plans to approve a $115,288.80 contract with Curriculum Associates for their “i-Ready” assessment software for every K-8 student. This platform is an “adaptive diagnostic” that collects vast amounts of student data, and the vendor is known for embedding Social Emotional Learning (SEL) content into its academic materials.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on the district website): ‘Regarding Item IV.C, what specific student data does i-Ready collect and who is it shared with? Parents must be given a clear opt-out from this data-mining platform before you approve this $115,000 contract.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $115,288.80 + Student Data

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Full Curriculum Approval Without Public Disclosure
The board is voting to approve the entire course catalog for the 2026-27 school year under item IV.A, but the specific list of courses and curriculum details are not included in the public agenda packet. This prevents parents from reviewing what their children will be taught before it’s approved.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The agenda asks the Board to approve the entire 2026-27 course list, but the list isn’t attached. Email the Board (contact info on the district website): ‘I demand the full 2026-27 Course of Study be made public for parental review before any vote is taken on Item IV.A.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Lack of Transparency
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 3) |
|
District Normalizing “Virtual Instruction” Days
The district plans to use up to six “virtual instruction” days for testing and emergencies, requiring all students to use Google Classroom. While framed as a convenience under state law, this normalizes remote learning and could be expanded in the future, reducing valuable in-person instruction time.
Recommended Action Plan
Monitor: This seems administrative for now, but track how often ‘virtual days’ are used. Ensure they are only for true emergencies and not a backdoor to hybrid schooling.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Lost In-Person Instruction
