District Spends Over $7,700 on AI Chatbot
Hidden in the credit card payments is $7,784.67 for ‘ANTHROPIC* CLAUDE TEAM,’ a powerful AI chatbot service. The district has not explained how this student-facing technology will be used, what data it collects on our children, or provided any proof of its academic value.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the U.S. Bank payments on the October 13th agenda, I demand to know the purpose of the $7,784 spent on the AI service ‘Anthropic/Claude.’ What is the specific classroom use, what student data is being collected, and where is the proof of academic benefit?’
💰 Impact: $7,784.67

Board to Vote on ‘Closed Sessions’ Policy
The Board is holding a second reading on Policy 1410, which governs when they can meet in ‘Executive or Closed Sessions’ away from public view. Changes to this policy could reduce transparency and allow the board to discuss sensitive topics like student discipline or controversial contracts in secret.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the attachment for Item VIII.A in the Official Agenda (linked above). Confirm if this policy change makes it easier for the Board to hide discussions from the public.
💰 Impact: Reduced Board Oversight

Please publish the data on student achievement gains from this product, and the total daily screen time it adds, before renewing this contract.’
💰 Impact: $31,413
