Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Jackson Township School District. We found 7 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
Guidance Counselors Rebranded as SEL/Data Agents
The district is changing job titles from “Guidance Counselor” to “School Counselor” and adopting new job descriptions based on the activist ASCA National Model. These new roles are explicitly tasked with promoting “social/emotional development,” implementing “Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS),” advocating for “equity, diversity, and belonging,” and serving on “Behavioral Threat Assessment” teams. This builds a permanent therapeutic and surveillance infrastructure inside our schools, shifting the focus from academic guidance to psychological intervention.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a systemic shift to embed social engineering into the school’s structure. Email the Board (see Official Agenda link): ‘I oppose the new job descriptions under Item N.15. The role of a counselor is academic guidance, not social-emotional programming or student surveillance. Vote NO on this ideological shift.’

District Accepts $3.3M in Federal ESEA Funds
The board is accepting over $3.3 million in federal ESEA funds (Title I, II, III, IV). This federal money often comes with serious strings attached, mandating the adoption of specific curricula, data-sharing on students, and the implementation of DEI/SEL initiatives. This is how federal priorities get forced on local schools, bypassing parents.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (see Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item J.7, what specific mandates, curriculum requirements, and data-sharing agreements are attached to the $3.3M in ESEA funds? Parents have a right to know what ideological commitments the district is making in exchange for federal money.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $3.3M (Federal Strings Attached)

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |

District Approves Vague “Confidence Closet” Donation
The board is accepting a $10,000 donation to support a “Confidence Closet” at the Middle School. While this could be for students needing basic clothing, these closets are frequently used by activists to provide gender-affirming items like chest binders to students without parental knowledge or consent. The lack of a clear definition for this closet is a major red flag.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND CLARITY: Email the Board (see Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding the donation in Item J.25, I demand a public and binding definition of what items the “Confidence Closet” will and will not contain. The board must guarantee this will not be used to provide gender-altering items to minors behind their parents’ backs.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Parental Exclusion

Staff Training on Student Intervention and Data-Mining
Under Item L.9, the district is paying for staff training on Intervention and Referral Services (I&RS). The training focuses on “implementing interventions, collecting data for progress monitoring, analyzing data to create action plans,” which is the playbook for the Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS). This system creates a framework for labeling and intervening with students based on subjective behavioral and emotional data, often without full parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the Board (see Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding the I&RS training in Item L.9, what is the district’s specific opt-out policy for parents who do not consent to this non-academic data collection and intervention for their child? This must be clarified before the system is expanded.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $1,800 (RISE Grant)

Outside Activist Group to Hold Student Workshops
The district is approving workshops for students and parents from “The Latino Institute” (Items L.11 and L.12). The student workshop specifically targets “9-12 multilingual learner students,” creating an affinity group. We have no information on this vendor or the ideological content they will present to students in this segregated setting.
Recommended Action Plan
VERIFY THE VENDOR: Email the Board (see Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Items L.11 and L.12, all curriculum and materials from The Latino Institute must be posted publicly for parental review at least 30 days before any workshops. We will not approve a contract with an unvetted ideological group.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $3,100 (Title III Grant)

Preschool Teachers Trained by SEL Data-Mining Vendor
The district is paying Teaching Strategies INC. $12,555 for a preschool staff workshop. This vendor is known for its “Teaching Strategies Gold” assessment tool, which collects subjective social-emotional data on children as young as three. This training could be a precursor to implementing this controversial data-gathering system in our preschools.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE QUESTION: Email the Board (see Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item L.16, is this training from Teaching Strategies INC. related to the implementation of their Gold assessment tool? Parents do not consent to subjective social-emotional data collection on their preschool children.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $12,555 (Grant Funded)

✅ Wins to Defend
Good moves worth showing up to support so they stick.

| Major Win (LEVEL 9) |
|
District Bans Student Cell Phones During School Day
The board is adopting a new policy, P. 5516, that prohibits student use of internet-enabled devices like cell phones from the first bell to the last. This policy replaces the old rule that allowed phone use for educational purposes, and requires phones to be turned off and stored away all day. This is a major step toward removing distractions and returning the classroom’s focus to academics.
How to Lock It In
SECURE THE WIN: Show up to thank the Board for passing Policy 5516. Publicly praising this common-sense policy makes it harder to weaken or reverse later and provides a model for other districts to follow. Contact the Board (see Official Agenda link) and say: ‘Thank you for prioritizing education and protecting our kids from classroom distractions by passing Policy 5516.’
✅ Why It Matters: Restored Academic Focus
