| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |
|
SEL Screening for Elementary Students via ‘Wayfinder’
The district is spending over $50,000 in grant money to renew ‘Wayfinder,’ a ‘universal screener’ for all elementary students. This program surveys children to collect social-emotional data and funnels them into ‘Tier 2/3’ interventions, potentially without full parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a mental health screening program disguised as a survey. Email the Board ( info@pasoschools.org): ‘I do not consent to my child being psychologically screened at school. Vote NO on Consent Item H.15. Focus on academics, not data-mining our children’s feelings.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $50,208.00 (Grant Strings Attached)

District Paying $94k for ‘Trauma-Invested’ Consultant
The district is renewing a $94,000 contract with consultant Kristin Souers to implement ‘Trauma Invested Practices’ district-wide. This approach treats all students as potentially traumatized, replacing traditional discipline and academics with therapeutic techniques that belong in a doctor’s office, not the classroom.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board ( info@pasoschools.org): ‘Pull Item H.17 from the Consent Agenda for a full discussion. Parents do not want our schools turned into therapy clinics. What specific classroom practices will this $94,000 consultant implement?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $94,000

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
Student Data Surveillance Platform ‘Parsec’ Renewed
The district is spending $131,764 to renew ‘Parsec Education,’ a data platform that tracks students through ‘clear data metrics, reports, and graphs.’ This system allows administrators to monitor student discipline and attendance data, creating a permanent digital record that follows your child.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email Assistant Superintendent Erin Haley (contact info on district website) and the Board ( info@pasoschools.org): ‘Regarding Item H.14, who owns the student data collected by Parsec? I demand to know what specific data points are being tracked on my child and how I can opt out.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $131,764.00

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |

Silencing Parents: Public Comments No Longer Read Aloud
The district has changed its public comment policy to no longer read written comments aloud during meetings. Instead, comments emailed before 3:00 p.m. will be attached to the agenda but not voiced publicly, effectively silencing parents who cannot attend in person.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a direct attempt to reduce public accountability. Email the Board ( info@pasoschools.org) and sign up for public comment to demand they reverse this policy. ‘Our comments must be read into the public record, not buried in an attachment. Restore the public’s voice now.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Voice in the Boardroom

Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying via CSBA Membership
The board is renewing its membership with the California School Boards Association (CSBA) for over $20,000. The CSBA is a political lobbying group that frequently opposes parental rights legislation in Sacramento, meaning local tax dollars are being used to lobby against parents’ interests at the state level.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY: Email the Board ( info@pasoschools.org): ‘I object to my tax dollars funding the CSBA’s political lobbying in Sacramento, which often undermines parental rights. Vote NO on Item H.8 and stop funding groups that work against families.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $20,655.00+

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Over $17 Million in Spending Hidden in Consent Agenda
The board is set to approve over $17 million in purchase orders and payments (Items H.9 and H.10) with a single vote. The attachments detailing these massive expenditures were not available for review, preventing any public oversight of where this money is going.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the files attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether they contain sensitive policy changes. Email the Board ( info@pasoschools.org): ‘Pull items H.9 and H.10 from the consent agenda. The public deserves a detailed explanation for over $17 million in spending before it is approved.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $17.7M+ with No Transparency

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Mental Health Interns Placed in Schools
The district is approving contracts for a Mental Health Therapist (MHT) intern and a Psychologist intern to provide services to students. While presented as ‘support,’ this expands the school’s role into providing mental health services, which can occur without direct parental involvement or knowledge.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE HARD QUESTIONS: Email the Board ( info@pasoschools.org): ‘Regarding Items H.5 and H.6, what is the district’s policy for obtaining active, written parental consent before a student is seen by a mental health intern? We must have an opt-in system, not opt-out.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Parental Oversight
|
| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Book Vending Machines for Behavior Modification
The district plans to spend up to $105,000 on book vending machines that use a ‘token reward system for positive behavior.’ This system turns reading into a transactional reward for compliance, a form of social engineering that is often part of a larger Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) framework.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND CLARITY: Email Assistant Superintendent Erin Haley (contact info on district website) and the Board ( info@pasoschools.org): ‘Regarding Item I.6, what specific behaviors will be rewarded with book tokens? Parents need to see the full behavior matrix before approving a $105,000 social-engineering tool.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $105,000
