Boone County School Board June 11
Notable at the June 11 meeting was a split vote on the consent agenda, which corralled many items into one for approval. Inclusion of Panorama Education was cited as the reason for the lone no vote. (Per Panorama’s website, the software “connect[s] student data and AI with action across MTSS, pathways, surveys, and instruction.”)

The Boone County School Board’s two conservative members voted no to Panorama. The school board spends $219K+ on Panorama, which the education services company says “collect[s] and act[s] on essential student behavior data” and provides “a valid and reliable survey tool to measure student perceptions of teaching and learning,” among other data collection applications. Parents are encouraged to do their own research on this program. Watch the Jill and Stacie Show June Boone County School Board Recap to learn more.
