Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for WILLIAMSVILLE CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT. We found 7 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |
|
Board to Adopt “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” as Official District Goal
The Board is voting to make “advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion” a core goal for the 2026-2027 school year under items 20.D and 21.B. This goal explicitly aligns the district with the controversial New York State Board of Regents’ DEI framework, committing taxpayer money and school resources to ideological initiatives rather than academic excellence.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is the vote that sets the district’s agenda for the entire year. Email the Board via District Clerk Lynn Carey at LCarey@williamsvillek12.org: ‘I demand you reject the proposed DEI goal in Item 21.B. Focus on academic achievement, not political agendas. Vote NO or face a recall effort.’

Discipline Report Confirms Shift to “Restorative Practices”
The 2025-2026 Discipline Report (Item 6.C) and the amended Code of Conduct (Item 13.C) confirm the district is fully committed to “Restorative Practices.” This approach often reduces consequences for misbehavior and focuses on analyzing discipline data for racial “disproportionality” instead of ensuring classroom safety and order.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY: Email the Board via District Clerk Lynn Carey at LCarey@williamsvillek12.org: ‘Regarding the Discipline Report (Item 6.C), parents expect clear consequences for misbehavior. Restorative Practices can lead to unsafe classrooms. Prioritize safety and accountability over social experiments.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Classroom Safety

District Pushing “Equitable” Homework and Grading Policies
A presentation on “Homework, Grading, and Reporting” (Item 6.B) reveals a push towards “equitable” and “proficiency-based” grading. These policies, promoted by activist consultants, often lead to eliminating deadlines, grade inflation, and removing consequences for not doing work, lowering academic standards for all students.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ACADEMIC RIGOR: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask for the email of Assistant Superintendent for Instruction Dr. Marie Balen: ‘Regarding Item 6.B, parents want their children prepared for the real world, which has deadlines and standards. Reject “equitable grading” policies that cheapen our children’s education.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Lowered Academic Standards

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |

District Appointing Gender Ideology Coordinators in Every School
Under Item 13.E, the district is appointing “Dignity for All Students Act (DASA)” coordinators for every school. The district’s own documents state these roles are responsible for promoting “awareness and sensitivity” on topics including “sexual orientations, gender identity or expression,” embedding this ideology into the official school structure.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board via District Clerk Lynn Carey at LCarey@williamsvillek12.org: ‘Regarding the DASA coordinators in Item 13.E, what specific training materials will they use? Parents have a right to review all materials related to gender identity and sexual orientation before they are presented to students.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Normalizing Gender Ideology

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Vague Policies on Student Intervention Require Review
The board is scheduled for a second reading and adoption of Policy 7212, “Response to Intervention (RTI) Process.” RTI systems can be used to collect data and apply behavioral or academic interventions to students without full parental consent. The policy document was referenced but its text is not present in the provided materials.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) for Item 15.A to confirm whether Policy 7212 allows for student interventions without explicit, written parental consent for each instance.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Intervention Without Consent

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
New Attendance Plan Expands Student and Family Surveillance
The district’s new attendance report (Item 6.D) details a “multi-tiered” plan to combat “chronic absenteeism” by tracking students through data dashboards like “EduClimber.” The plan involves interventions for mental health, anxiety, and trauma, and includes training that tells parents how to handle their “anxious” children, representing an overreach into family life.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask for the email of Director of Student Services Dr. Denise Stappenbeck: ‘Regarding Item 6.D, what data is being collected in the EduClimber dashboard and who has access to it? Parents must have the right to opt-out of any non-academic data collection and mental health screening.’

Good moves worth showing up to support so they stick.

| Major Win (LEVEL 8) |
|
WIN: New Code of Conduct Bans Personal Cell Phones
The newly amended Code of Conduct (Item 13.C) includes a “Distraction-Free School Zones” policy. This policy prohibits student use of personal devices, including smartphones and smartwatches, during the entire school day to reduce distractions, cyberbullying, and help students focus on learning.
How to Lock It In
AMPLIFY THIS WIN: Show up to thank the Board for passing the cell phone ban in the new Code of Conduct (Item 13.C). This is a huge step toward restoring focus in the classroom. Let’s get this on the record so it can’t be quietly reversed and use it as a model for other districts.
✅ Why It Matters: Return to Academic Focus
