Student Surveillance System ‘MTSS’ Being Implemented
The Curriculum Update (VIII.v) confirms the district is implementing a Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) and aligning with the ‘Tiered Fidelity Inventory.’ MTSS is a framework for data collection and behavioral intervention that can lead to student surveillance and labeling without full parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Regarding item VIII.v, what specific data is collected on students under MTSS, who has access to it, and what is the explicit opt-out process for parents? We do not consent to behavioral surveillance of our children.’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

Ideological Spending Hidden in Consent Agenda
Item IX.iii, the Accounts Payable report, is buried in the ‘routine’ Consent Agenda but contains payments to ideological vendors. These include ‘Everyday Speech LLC,’ a known SEL curriculum provider, and ‘One Cool Earth,’ an environmental activist group, hiding controversial spending from public debate.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘I demand the Accounts Payable report (Item IX.iii) be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and vote. The Board must publicly justify spending taxpayer money on the political agendas of Everyday Speech and One Cool Earth.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed (multiple payments)

District Adopts ‘Leader in Me’ SEL Program
School reports for Cappy Culver (VIII.iii) and Lillian Larsen (VIII.iv) confirm the district is implementing the ‘Leader in Me’ Social Emotional Learning (SEL) program, including all-day staff training on its ‘7 Habits.’ This program shifts focus from core academics to subjective behavioral and emotional conditioning.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details) and ask: ‘How many hours of academic instruction per week will be replaced by the Leader in Me SEL program? I request the Board publish the full curriculum for parental review before further implementation.’
💰 Impact: Classroom time on academics

District Expands ‘i-Ready’ Screen Time Program
The Lillian Larsen school update (VIII.iv) details the district-wide use of the i-Ready software for reading and math diagnostics and interventions. The district has not provided independent evidence that this program improves academic outcomes or disclosed how much daily screen time it adds, replacing direct teacher instruction.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND EVIDENCE: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Before renewing or expanding i-Ready, please provide parents with the independent, non-vendor-funded studies proving its effectiveness and a report on the total daily screen time it requires per grade level.’
💰 Impact: Replaces direct instruction

New AI Policy Uses ‘Equity’ as a Trojan Horse
Under Item XI.i, the board is reviewing a new policy on Artificial Intelligence that uses vague, ideological language like ‘Equity and Access.’ Such policies can open the door to adaptive learning software that tracks student data and pushes personalized, unvetted content without parental oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
SHAPE THE POLICY: This is a First Reading. Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details) and demand they add language to Policy 0441: ‘Require explicit, opt-in parental consent before any student is placed on an AI-driven learning platform and guarantee parents can review all content delivered to their child.’
💰 Impact: Student Data Privacy

District Partners with External Activist Group
The Superintendent’s Report (VIII.ii) announces a partnership with MICOP (Mixteco/Indígena Community Organizing Project) to provide a ‘Family Liaison.’ This uses Community Schools Grant funds to embed an external activist organization into the district, potentially creating services based on identity politics rather than universal student need.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Regarding the MICOP partnership, what are the specific duties of the Family Liaison, and what oversight will the district have over this external organization’s interactions with students and families?’
💰 Impact: Grant funds for activism
