Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Cons HSD 230. We found 5 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Plan to Issue Millions in Debt Without Voter Approval
A presentation outlines a plan to issue $20 million to $50 million in ‘Life Safety Bonds’ for building projects. The document states these bonds ‘do not require a back door referendum,’ meaning the district can take on this massive new debt without direct voter approval. This sidesteps taxpayer oversight on major financial decisions that will impact property taxes for years.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND A VOTE: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Taxpayers deserve a direct vote on tens of millions in new debt. I urge you to subject any new bond issuance of this magnitude to a public referendum, not a non-referendum process.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $20M – $50M in new debt

External Students Granted Access to District Counselors
The district is renewing a lease to house a special education program from an outside co-op (SWCCCASE). The agreement grants these students access to the district’s own psychologists and guidance counselors. This creates a pathway for school-based mental health services, potentially including SEL or other ideological frameworks, to be provided to students without direct district oversight of their curriculum.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE QUESTION: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding the SWCCCASE agreement, what specific social-emotional frameworks and training materials are used by the school psychologists and counselors who will be serving these students?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Mental Health

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The agenda lists item 5.D, ‘Treasurer Report,’ with an attached file. The text of this critical financial document was not included in the agenda packet provided. Parents must review the file themselves to ensure financial transparency.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘July Treasurer report B&F.pdf’ attached to Item 5.D in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm it does not contain questionable expenditures or financial transfers.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Financial Transparency

District Funds Invested with Bank of China
The district’s detailed financial report shows multiple investments, including a Certificate of Deposit and other holdings with the ‘Bank of China, NY’. This means taxpayer funds are being held by a bank owned and controlled by the Chinese Communist Party. While potentially a standard investment, it raises questions about financial risk and priorities.
Recommended Action Plan
Monitor: Ask the Board to review its investment policies. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Can you please explain the district’s policy for vetting financial institutions and why a state-owned Chinese bank is considered a secure investment for our community’s tax dollars?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Geopolitical Risk

| Major Win (LEVEL 8) |
|
District Rejects External Mental Health Partnership
The administration is recommending against entering an agreement with ‘Care Solace,’ a third-party mental health coordination service. The district explicitly states it wishes to ‘remain agnostic to how to support families outside of the school environment’ and not enter into an ‘active partnership.’ This is a significant victory for keeping the school’s role clearly defined and respecting parental authority in their children’s mental and emotional health.
How to Lock It In
SECURE THE WIN: Show up to thank the Board and administration for this decision. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Thank you for rejecting the Care Solace partnership and for respecting the boundaries between school and home. We support your commitment to an academic focus.’
