| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |

Suspicious “Wellness” and “Security” Vendors on Consent Agenda
The board is approving a slate of contracts without discussion, including “Long Island Health & Wellness,” which could be a front for school-based clinics, and “Flock Safety,” a surveillance company. Also included is “SCOPE,” a known provider of professional development that can include ideological training for teachers.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Pull item N.5 from the Consent Agenda. Parents deserve a public discussion on the contracts with Long Island Health & Wellness, Flock Safety, and SCOPE before they are approved.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Student Privacy & Data

Over $1.4M in Vague Budget Transfers on Consent Agenda
The board is approving three separate budget transfers totaling over $1.4 million with no public explanation for what the money is being moved to cover. This lack of transparency prevents parents from knowing if their tax dollars are funding academic essentials or ideological programs.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding items N.2, N.3, and N.4, I demand a detailed public explanation for these budget transfers totaling over $1.4 million before they are approved on the consent agenda.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $1,420,864.20

Undisclosed Personnel Hires on Consent Agenda
The board is approving a “Personnel Agenda” without disclosing its contents. This is where districts often hire ideological positions like “DEI Coordinators” or “SEL Coaches” without public scrutiny.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the ‘Personnel Agenda’ file attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to see exactly who is being hired and for what roles before the board votes.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Staffing

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |

District Safety Plan Adoption — Content Unknown
The board is adopting the Districtwide Safety Plan. These plans can sometimes include provisions for student surveillance, mental health screenings, or “restorative justice” discipline that bypass parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The plan was posted on the district website. Find and review it for terms like ‘mental health screening,’ ‘threat assessment,’ ‘restorative practices,’ or ‘climate surveys’ before the board votes to adopt it.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Student Privacy

Board Bypasses Bidding Rules for Special Ed Contracts
The board is officially voting to ignore its own purchasing policy (the RFP process) to hire special education contractors. While justified for IEP compliance, this sets a dangerous precedent for reducing financial transparency and oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
QUESTION THE PRECEDENT: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘While we support special needs students, bypassing the district’s purchasing policy in item N.6 reduces transparency. What safeguards are in place to prevent this from becoming standard practice for other contracts?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Board Oversight

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |

Vague “NY Inspires” Curriculum Update
The district is presenting an update on “NY Inspires.” This vague, positive-sounding name could conceal ideological curriculum changes, and parents need to know what is being taught under this banner.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘What is the “NY Inspires” program mentioned in item G.1? Please provide a link to the curriculum materials and any associated professional development for teachers.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Ideological Curriculum
