Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for HICKSVILLE UNION FREE SCHOOL DISTRICT. We found 6 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |
|
Secret ‘Trauma’ Program for Middle and High Schoolers
| 📅 Vote Scheduled July 29, 2026 |
Under ‘New Business,’ the board is voting on a contract with ‘Long Island TeamWorks’ to implement a ‘trauma-responsive program’ for students in grades 6-12. ‘Trauma-informed’ is often a trojan horse for school-based mental health interventions, student data mining, and social-emotional engineering that bypasses parental consent. The district has hidden the contract from the public agenda, giving parents zero details on what this program does or who is running it.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a critical threat. Email the Board of Education and demand they pull Item J.6 from the agenda. Ask: ‘What does a ‘trauma-responsive program’ entail, who is Long Island TeamWorks, and why is the contract not attached for public review?’ We must stop secret psychological programming in our schools. Verify board contact information on the district website.

Using Your Tax Dollars to Lobby Against Parents
| 📅 Vote Scheduled July 29, 2026 |
The board is voting to spend $125 per person to send members to a ‘Resolutions Dinner Meeting’ for their lobbying group, the Nassau-Suffolk School Boards Association. At this dinner, they will decide what political positions to take at the state level. This is how local school boards use our tax money to organize and lobby in Albany against parental rights bills and school transparency.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Education: ‘Regarding Item J.5, I demand to see the full list of resolutions you will be voting on at the N-SSBA dinner. Taxpayer funds should not be used to lobby against the interests of parents and students.’ Verify board contact information on the district website.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $125 per person

Hiring Staff in Secret
| 📅 Vote Scheduled July 29, 2026 |
The board is scheduled to approve a ‘Personnel Actions Report,’ but the report itself is missing from the public agenda. This is a classic tactic to approve controversial hires, such as DEI officers or SEL coaches, without public scrutiny. Parents have a right to know who the district is hiring to interact with their children.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Education: ‘I demand that the full Personnel Actions Report for Item H.1 be posted publicly before any vote is taken. The public has a right to review all new hires, titles, and salaries.’ Verify board contact information on the district website.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed – Report Not Provided

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Secret Special Education Spending and Placements
| 📅 Vote Scheduled July 29, 2026 |
The board is voting to approve three separate reports for Special Education (CSE), Pre-School Special Education (CPSE), and Section 504 student services. However, none of these reports are attached to the agenda. This is a massive transparency failure. While individual student information is private, the district must provide public-facing summaries of the programs, services, and costs being approved. Without them, parents are in the dark about major changes to special education.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Education: ‘Regarding Items J.1, J.2, and J.3, the public deserves a summary of the programs and services being approved. Please pull these items until a public-facing report is provided.’ Verify board contact information on the district website.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed – Reports Not Provided

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Paying for Last Year’s Social-Emotional Programming
| 📅 Vote Scheduled July 29, 2026 |
The board is giving final approval to last year’s (2025-26) massive contract with BOCES, a regional education provider. Buried in the fine print are payments for a ‘Mental Health Consortium’ and ‘Mental Health/Social Emotional PD (Professional Development).’ This confirms the district is spending money on and training teachers in social-emotional learning concepts. We need to know what this training included and if these programs are continuing this year.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the Board of Education: ‘Regarding the BOCES agreement (Item I.5), what did the ‘Mental Health/Social Emotional PD’ consist of, and which teachers attended? Are these programs continuing in the 2026-27 school year? Parents need to know if SEL is being infused into the classroom.’ Verify board contact information on the district website.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $4,835.64 for SEL PD, $3,250 for Mental Health Consortium (from 2025-26)

District Mandating Specific Curriculum for Pre-K
| 📅 Vote Scheduled July 29, 2026 |
The district is approving a contract for Universal Pre-K services with an outside provider, Heart & Mind STEM Center. The contract forces the provider to use the ‘High Scope Curriculum’ and attend district-led training on it. This shows the district is expanding its control over curriculum into private preschools, potentially introducing concepts to 4-year-olds that parents who chose a private provider would not expect.
Recommended Action Plan
MONITOR: Email the Board of Education: ‘Regarding the UPK agreement in Item K.3, why is the district mandating a specific curriculum for a private provider? Parents who choose private preschools deserve curriculum transparency and choice.’ Verify board contact information on the district website.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: N/A (Policy/Curriculum Mandate)
