| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |

Vague ‘Cooperative Services’ Contract with BOCES
The board is approving a contract for ‘Cooperative Educational Services’ with Eastern Suffolk BOCES, hidden on the consent agenda. These agreements can be used to purchase shared services, including controversial DEI or SEL programs, without direct district-level debate.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: The ‘AS-7 Contract’ is not attached. Email the Board (see district website for contacts): ‘Please pull item 5.D from the Consent Agenda for a separate vote. Parents demand to see the full text of the Eastern Suffolk BOCES AS-7 contract before you approve it.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Shared Ideological Programs

‘Dignity Act’ Coordinator Appointed
The board is appointing an administrator to be the ‘Dignity for All Students Act’ (DASA) Coordinator. While DASA is an anti-bullying law, it is frequently used as a gateway to introduce controversial gender ideology and DEI initiatives into the classroom.
Recommended Action Plan
MONITOR & ENGAGE: Note that Allyson Giaimo is the new DASA Coordinator. Email the Board (see district website for contacts): ‘Regarding the DASA Coordinator appointment, what specific training materials will be used for staff and students under the Dignity for All Students Act this year? Parents demand full transparency.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Ideological Gatekeeper

State Mandated ‘Educational Climate’ Data Reporting
The district is amending its policy for reporting safety and ‘educational climate’ data to the state. This data collection, especially under the vague term ‘climate,’ can be used to justify future SEL or DEI programs based on the ‘problems’ the data supposedly reveals.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE BOARD: Email the Board of Education (see district website for contacts): ‘Regarding Policy 5710, what specific metrics are collected under ‘Educational Climate’? Parents have a right to know exactly what data about our children’s attitudes and beliefs is being reported to the state.’

District Discards Failing ‘Balanced Literacy’ Curriculum
The district is declaring reading and writing curriculum from controversial authors Lucy Calkins and Fountas & Pinnell as ‘surplus and obsolete.’ This is a major victory for students, signaling a potential return to proven, phonics-based reading instruction over failed ‘whole language’ methods.
How to Lock It In
APPLAUD THE BOARD: Show up to thank the Board for removing the failed Lucy Calkins and Fountas & Pinnell materials. Email the Board (see district website for contacts): ‘Thank you for removing ‘Units of Study’ and returning our district’s focus to proven, evidence-based reading instruction. Please confirm what new phonics-based curriculum will replace it.’
✅ Why It Matters: Return to Academics
