Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for TUCKAHOE UNION FREE SCHOOL DISTRICT. We found 5 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Secretive Teacher Union Agreement Up for Vote
The board is voting to approve a Memorandum of Agreement with the teachers’ union, but the document itself is not public. These contracts can lock in policies on everything from teacher training to student discipline for years, completely outside of public view.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND A DELAY: Contact the Board of Education (see official agenda for contact info): ‘Do not vote on Item H.4, the MOA with the Tuckahoe Teachers Association, until the full text has been made public for at least 30 days. We will not accept secret agreements that affect our children.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Lack of Transparency
|
| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Special Education Changes Hidden in Consent Agenda
The board plans to approve new ‘Special Education Committee Recommendations’ without a separate discussion by bundling them into the consent agenda. The actual recommendations are not included in the agenda text, preventing parents from reviewing changes that could affect their children’s services and rights.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘I demand Item G.2, Special Education Recommendations, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a full presentation and separate vote. Parents of special needs children deserve to know what you are voting on.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Board Oversight
|
| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
District Adopting New ‘Equity’ and ‘Belonging’ Mission
The board is voting to adopt new mission and vision statements that use ideological language like ‘equitable,’ ‘belonging,’ and creating ‘ethical, meaningful contributors.’ These buzzwords often signal a shift away from core academics toward social and emotional programming.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE BOARD: Email the Board of Education (see official agenda for contact info): ‘Regarding Item H.1, how does the district define ‘equitable’ outcomes, and will this new mission statement be used to justify changes to grading, discipline, or curriculum? Parents expect a focus on academic excellence, not social engineering.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Shift from Academics

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Blank Check Budget Transfers Hide Spending
The board is asking for approval to transfer budget funds without providing any details on the amounts or the accounts involved. This lack of transparency makes it impossible for taxpayers to know if money is being quietly moved to fund ideological programs or consultants.
Recommended Action Plan
FOLLOW THE MONEY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item H.6, please provide the detailed budget transfer report for public review before the board votes. Taxpayers deserve to know how their money is being spent.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed
|
| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Vague ‘Safety Plan’ Requires Parent Investigation
The board is holding a public hearing on and then voting to adopt a new ‘District-Wide Safety & Emergency Plan,’ but the plan’s text was not provided in the agenda. These plans can sometimes include controversial policies on student surveillance, mental health screening, or threat assessments that bypass parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the ‘District-Wide Safety & Emergency Plan 2026-2027.docx’ file attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains policies on mental health screening or student data collection. Ask the board during public comment what new surveillance or screening measures are included.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Privacy
