Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for EAST QUOGUE UNION FREE SCHOOL DISTRICT. We found 5 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |

Board Rushing New Policies, Bypassing Public Review
Under item B.18, the Board plans to conduct a first reading of three new/revised policies, waive the second and third readings, and adopt them all in the same night. This tactic limits the time for parents to review the policies and provide public comment before they are enacted.
Recommended Action Plan
Sign up for public comment. Email the Board of Education (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item B.18, I object to waiving the second and third readings. Parents deserve adequate time to review new policies. Please table the final vote until the next meeting to allow for public input.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Public Oversight

District Goals Prioritize “Social Emotional” and “Mental Health” Interventions
The Superintendent’s 2026-2027 goals (Item 3.01) explicitly call for implementing “social and emotional” learning and creating a “mental health RTI document.” This shifts focus from core academics to psychological programming and student data collection.
Recommended Action Plan
Email the Board of Education (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item 3.01, I am concerned about the district’s focus on ‘social and emotional’ learning and ‘mental health RTI.’ Please prioritize academic excellence and leave psychological programming to parents and professionals.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Focus on Academics

Contracts with Two Unvetted Pre-Kindergarten Providers
The board is approving agreements with “Sunshine Academy” (Item B.9) and “Bloom” (Item B.10) to run the Universal Pre-Kindergarten program. UPK is often the entry point for SEL and other ideological curricula, and these vendors’ materials have not been disclosed for parental review.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Research ‘Sunshine Academy’ and ‘Bloom’ to see their curriculum philosophy. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Items B.9 and B.10, what curriculum will these UPK providers use? Parents have a right to review all instructional materials before these contracts are approved.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Curriculum

Contract with Unvetted Special Education Vendor
The board is set to approve a contract with “Tiny Transformations, Corp.” to provide special education services (Item B.8). The nature of these services and the vendor’s curriculum or approach are not disclosed in the agenda.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Research ‘Tiny Transformations, Corp.’ to determine if they have an ideological focus. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item B.8, please provide details on the services and curriculum provided by Tiny Transformations, Corp. before approving this contract.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed

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

| Major Win (LEVEL 8) |
|
New Policy Requires Parental Consent for Sensitive Surveys
Hidden inside the rushed policy adoption (Item B.18) is a major win. The revised Policy 8625 explicitly requires the district to get written parental consent before surveying students on topics like “mental or psychological problems,” “sex behavior or attitudes,” and political or religious beliefs.
How to Lock It In
Show up to thank the Board for Policy 8625. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Thank you for the strong parental consent protections in Policy 8625. Please pass this policy, but do not rush it by waiving multiple readings. This is a model policy that protects our children and our rights.’
✅ Why It Matters: Parental Rights Protected
