What’s Going to Happen to Scottsdale School Board Official and Creepy Dossier About Parents He Disagreed With?

It recently came out that the former president of the Scottsdale Unified School District board appears to have compiled a creepy dossier full of personal information about parents who objected to CRT, COVID-19 restrictions and other parts of the progressive agenda being shoved down their kids’ throats without their approval. The Google Drive included over 160 pages about at least 50 parents containing background checks, a divorce paper, mortgage documents, hidden camera footage, Social Security numbers and screenshots of their social media posts. There were even some mental health status notes about a parent. There were offensive memes such as one comparing one of the mothers to a racist lynching of a black person.

Jann-Michael Greenburg, 28, who doesn’t have any children, reportedly lives with his parents and who sources say only held the position as a stepping stone for higher office, denies compiling the dossier, which is in the name of his father. However, the dossier, which parents accidentally got access to, showed that he had access to it and the information all revolved around interactions he had with the parents. 

Some of the folders in the dossier include “SUSD Wackos,” “Press Conference Psychos” and “Anti-Mask Lunatics.” The last one is interesting considering Greenburg was spotted walking around in a bar without a mask. His father is heard on bodycam footage saying that he has a private investigator following parents around and collecting their license plate numbers. Some of the screenshots of parents’ social media were obviously taken to document their support for former President Donald Trump and the fact they were Christians. 

The Scottsdale Police Department conducted an investigation but said there was no crime committed. However, they merely cited the fact the information collected was in the public domain. They never addressed other aspects which could be considered stalking or illegal, such as Greenburg’s father showing up and secretly recording parents while disguising his license plate, collecting license plate numbers, collecting Social Security numbers and the cruel memes (hate crimes?) and photos of one parent’s young children.

Greenburg’s father has a history of this type of behavior. He ran a parody website and Twitter account attacking the board’s president, Barbara Perleberg, in 2018. Apparently his goal was to destroy her reputation to make room for his son to become school board president. Perleberg said the spoof accounts "went on to attribute comments to me debasing AIDS and the Holocaust.”

The dossier was originally discovered when Greenburg attacked a Scottsdale parent, accusing her of anti-Semitism. He sent a screenshot of an online conversation to her, and she noticed a Google Drive address in the photo. Despite all the evidence, Greenburg denied having anything to do with the dossier to YourValley.net and appeared to threaten legal action if the paper indicated so.

The Scottsdale school district won’t take any action, sending a letter to parents saying it was out of their jurisdiction. The Arizona Attorney General’s Office is currently investigating accusations that Greenburg violated Open Meeting laws, in order to keep parents out of meetings. 

The other members of the school board removed Greenburg as president, but he is still on the board. There is a recall effort in place to remove him in addition to other school board members who had prior knowledge of the dossier but didn’t do anything about it. 

When this was brought to the attention of a prominent columnist who writes about parents and education, he declined to write about it saying this kind of thing happens constantly, it’s no longer even news. Unfortunately, because the left has hyped up attacks on parents concerned about what their children are learning lately, it’s proving difficult to get any justice here. 

While the harassed parents may receive no justice in a criminal court of law, perhaps they will with lawsuits and restraining orders. I obtained a restraining order against a stalker for far less worse behavior. Leading Trump-supported Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake has held rallies supporting the parents, calling for Greenburg’s resignation.

Parents say they were attacked by Greenburg merely because they became advocates for increased transparency in the school district. They were essentially attacked for free speech. Meanwhile, Greenburg continues on his rise in public office, filing paperwork to run for the Maricopa County Community College District board. He apparently has no shame and will not stop if something isn’t done about it.
