District to Buy ‘Social Skills’ Curriculum for Special Needs Students
The board is set to approve a $345,900 contract with Teachtown for an ‘Alternate Core Curriculum’ for K-12 special needs (ALE) students, hidden in the procurement packet. This program explicitly includes ‘social skills and transition lessons,’ embedding social-emotional programming into core subjects for the district’s most vulnerable children.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: This is on the Consent Agenda (Item 3.I), meaning it could pass without discussion. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and demand Item 3.I be pulled for a separate discussion and vote. Ask the board: ‘Parents deserve to know what ‘social skills’ Teachtown will be teaching our special needs students.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $345,900 (Federal/State Strings)

District to Spend $357k on Unvetted Online Tutoring Service
The board plans to approve a $357,266 contract with ‘Papaya Tutoring Services, Inc.’ for online literacy and math help at four schools, using federal Title I and state funds. The curriculum and data privacy policies of this online vendor are not detailed, creating a risk for ideological content and student data mining.
Recommended Action Plan
VERIFY THE VENDOR: This is on the Consent Agenda (Item 3.G). Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask: ‘Before approving the $357k Papaya Tutoring contract, please provide the public with this vendor’s curriculum content and their student data privacy policy. We must ensure this isn’t another SEL Trojan horse.’

District Documents Reveal Formal ‘Social Emotional’ Goal
Agenda documents for items 2.G and 2.H reveal the district has a formal, board-level goal to ‘Improve Social Emotional Readiness in all Students.’ While not the focus of this meeting’s presentations, it confirms that SEL is an official district priority, creating a framework to justify future ideological programs.
Recommended Action Plan
PUT THEM ON NOTICE: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask: ‘Regarding the district goals listed in items 2.G and 2.H, what is the ‘SAISD Standard for Social Emotional Readiness’ and who determines it? Parents expect the district’s primary goal to be academic excellence, not measuring feelings.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Shift from Academics
