Student Data Piped Between Two Tech Companies
The district is authorizing a direct data pipeline to send your child’s information from ‘Amira Learning’ to another company called ‘Branching Minds.’ This is being done to feed a ‘Multi-Tiered System of Supports’ (MTSS), a system often used for behavioral and psychological tracking, not just academics.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a major privacy violation hiding on the consent agenda. Email the Board (contact info on the district website): ‘I demand Consent Item E-19 be pulled for a separate discussion and vote. What specific student data is being shared between Amira and Branching Minds, and how can parents opt their children out of this data collection?’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

Board Bans Public Comment at Special Meeting
The Board is using a ‘Special Meeting’ designation to legally prohibit any public comment. This means parents are silenced and cannot address the Board before they vote on student data sharing, curriculum software, and other important policies.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TO BE HEARD: Even if you can’t speak, show up to the meeting to send a clear message. Email the Board (contact info on the district website) and demand that any item with significant parental impact, like data sharing or major contracts, be moved to a regular meeting where public comment is allowed.
💰 Impact: Silencing Parental Voice

District Renews $106k Elementary Screen-Time Software
The board is set to renew a $106,244 subscription for ‘PebbleGo,’ a screen-based ‘reference database’ for elementary schoolers. The district has not provided any independent evidence that this software improves academic outcomes or justifies the cost and increased screen time for young children.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND PROOF: Email the Board (contact info on the district website) regarding Item E-20: ‘Before renewing a $106k contract for PebbleGo, please provide the independent, non-vendor-supplied studies proving its academic effectiveness. How many minutes of daily screen time does this add, and what instruction time does it replace?’
💰 Impact: $106,244.10

Student Data Shared for Summer Benefits Program
The district plans to enter a data-sharing agreement with the Muscogee (Creek) Nation for a summer EBT program. While the program may be beneficial, this agreement involves sharing student data with an outside entity, and it’s unclear what information will be shared or if parents must affirmatively consent.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK FIRST: Email the Board (contact info on the district website) about Item E-41: ‘Regarding the data sharing agreement with the Muscogee Nation, what specific student data will be shared? Is this an opt-in program requiring parental consent, or will student data be shared automatically without it?’
💰 Impact: Student Data Privacy
