Mental Health Vendor ‘Astor Services’ on Consent Agenda
The board is approving an agreement with ‘Astor Services,’ a provider of behavioral and mental health services, under the consent agenda. These types of contracts can lead to school-based counseling that operates without direct parental consent or presence, creating a wedge between parents and children.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Education (contact info on district website): ‘Pull the Astor Services agreement from Consent Item 10.A. Parents demand to know the full scope of services this vendor will provide to students, and what parental notification and consent policies will be in place, before you approve this contract.’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

Board Limits Public Comment Time and Topics
The board is limiting total public comment time to only 15 minutes and restricting speakers to topics on the current agenda. This prevents parents from raising new concerns or addressing ongoing issues not listed for a vote, effectively silencing community feedback.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TO BE HEARD: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and email the Board of Education. ‘The restrictions on public comment in Item 5.A are unacceptable. Parents must have the right to address the board on any issue concerning our children, not just what you place on the agenda. Restore open public comment.’
💰 Impact: Silencing Parent Voices

Vague ‘Common Ground’ Vendor Contract Needs Investigation
The board plans to approve a contract with a vendor named ‘Common Ground’ as part of the consent agenda, but provides no details on what this service is. Vague names like this are sometimes used by consultants who provide DEI, SEL, or other ideological training.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The agreement with ‘Common Ground’ under Consent Item 10.A is completely undefined. Open the file ‘Common Ground.pdf’ attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether this is an ideological vendor. If so, demand the Board pull this item for a full public discussion.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed
