Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for GOSHEN CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT. We found 6 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Board Cedes Control Over Student Data Privacy
The board approved a resolution allowing a regional entity (RIC ONE ROC) to negotiate data privacy agreements with vendors on the district’s behalf. This outsources critical oversight of your child’s data and makes it easier for districts to adopt vendors without rigorous local review.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND LOCAL CONTROL: Contact the Board (see Official Agenda link): ‘Parents elected you, not a regional bureaucracy, to protect our children’s data. We demand that all vendor data privacy agreements be reviewed and approved individually by this board in public session.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Loss of Local Control

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Board Policy Restricts Parent Voices
The board’s public comment policy severely limits parents’ ability to speak. It caps the total time at 32 minutes, prohibits naming staff, prevents the board from responding, and forces groups to appoint a single spokesperson, silencing other voices.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND YOUR RIGHT TO SPEAK: Contact the Board (see Official Agenda link): ‘Your public comment policy is designed to silence parents, not hear them. We demand you remove the 32-minute total time cap and the single-spokesperson rule to restore accountability.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Board Oversight
|
| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Taxpayer-Funded Advisors for Ideological Clubs
The minutes from the previous meeting confirm the district is paying stipends to staff for running an “LGBTQ Club” and a “Cultural Diversity” club. This is a direct use of taxpayer funds to promote ideological and identity-based student groups.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY: Contact the Board (see Official Agenda link): ‘Why are taxpayer funds being used to pay advisors for political and identity-based clubs instead of academic clubs? School resources should focus on academics, not activism.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $8,125
|
| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Taxpayer-Funded “Choose Love” SEL Program
The consent agenda includes stipends for two “Choose Love Ambassadors.” “Choose Love” is a Social Emotional Learning (SEL) program that can replace traditional character education with therapeutic and ideological concepts.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Board (see Official Agenda link) and demand Item 8.1 be pulled from the Consent Agenda. Ask: ‘What is the “Choose Love” program, what does it teach, and why are we paying staff extra to be its “ambassadors”?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $3,708
|
| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
“Trauma-Informed” Ideology in Safety Plan
The new District Safety Plan, up for adoption on the consent agenda, incorporates “Trauma-Informed” procedures and focuses on “Mental Health Services.” This language often signals a shift away from discipline and safety towards therapeutic interventions that can pathologize normal student behavior and undermine parental authority.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK HARD QUESTIONS: Contact the Board (see Official Agenda link) and demand Item 10.6 be pulled from the Consent Agenda for discussion. Ask: ‘How does a “trauma-informed” approach change student discipline for clear rule violations? Parents expect safety and order, not the school acting as a therapy clinic.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undermining Discipline
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
“Tiered Intervention” System Expands in Literacy
The August 3rd minutes show the district is expanding its use of “tiered intervention” systems in literacy. While framed as academic support, these systems are often the delivery mechanism for MTSS (Multi-Tiered System of Supports), which can lead to student data collection and behavioral interventions without full parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Contact the District Office (see Official Agenda link) and ask: ‘What specific data is collected on students in Tier 2 and Tier 3 interventions, and what is the explicit opt-out process for parents who do not consent to this tracking?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Privacy
