Heads up! We have scanned the upcoming agenda for Norwood Public School District. We found 4 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Key Safety and Health Plans Approved Without Public Review
The board is approving the ‘Nursing Services Plan,’ ‘District Emergency Response Plan,’ and ‘HIB School Self Assessment’ in a single bundled vote under Item H.8. These crucial documents, which can contain policies on student health privacy, parental notification, and discipline, have not been made public for parental review prior to the vote.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Board President and Superintendent (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘I demand that Administrative Items H.3, H.5, and H.6 be pulled from the bundled vote under Item H.8. Parents have a right to review the full text of the Nursing Services, Emergency Response, and HIB plans before you vote to approve them.’
💰 Impact: Parental Oversight

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |

Taxpayer Funds for School Boards Association Workshop
The district is spending over $5,800 ($2,400 registration plus hotel costs for five officials) for board members and the superintendent to attend the New Jersey School Boards Association (NJSBA) workshop. The NJSBA is a political lobbying group that often advocates for policies that weaken parental rights and local control.
Recommended Action Plan
CHALLENGE THE EXPENSE: Contact the Board President (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding Finance Item K.4, why are thousands of taxpayer dollars being spent to send five officials to a workshop hosted by a political lobbying group like the NJSBA? These funds should be spent in the classroom, not on political junkets.’
💰 Impact: $5,800+

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Staff Training in ‘Nonviolent Crisis Intervention’
The district is sending at least ten staff members for ‘Nonviolent Crisis Intervention Training.’ This type of training often serves as a gateway for introducing controversial Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and ‘restorative justice’ discipline models that can replace academic time and undermine traditional consequences for misbehavior.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK FOR THE CURRICULUM: Contact the Superintendent (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding Curriculum Item J.3, please provide the full training curriculum and materials for the ‘Nonviolent Crisis Intervention Training’ for public review. Parents need to know what behavioral and disciplinary philosophies are being taught to staff.’
💰 Impact: Classroom Discipline
|
| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The board is set to approve over $852,000 in monthly disbursements. The detailed check registers (‘August Handchecks.pdf’ and ‘SEPTEMBER CHECK RUN.pdf’) are listed but their contents were not provided in the main agenda, preventing public scrutiny of vendors before the vote.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the files ‘August Handchecks.pdf’ and ‘SEPTEMBER CHECK RUN.pdf’ attached to Item K.1 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether they contain payments to ideological vendors like Panorama, CASEL, or others.
💰 Impact: $852,118.85
