Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for MOUNT VERNON SCHOOL DISTRICT. We found 5 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
Training School Leaders in Social-Emotional Ideology
| 📅 Vote Scheduled July 28, 2026 |
The district is spending nearly $80,000 in grant money for ‘professional development’ that trains Assistant Principals to implement an ideological framework based on ‘Rigor, Relevance, and Relationships.’ The description uses coded language like ‘students’ lived experiences,’ ‘climate data,’ and ‘powerful sense of belonging,’ which are hallmarks of Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and other progressive pedagogies that often replace academic focus with social engineering. This trains the entire leadership team to enforce these concepts in every school.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Education and Superintendent. (Parents should verify current contact information on the district website). Ask: ‘Regarding Item 9.18, please provide the full curriculum and all training materials for the Assistant Principal professional development. Parents have a right to know what ideological frameworks are being used to train our school leaders before you spend $80,000 on it.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $79,872.30 (Title II Grant)

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Bypassing Public Review to Rush New Policies
| 📅 Vote Scheduled July 28, 2026 |
The Board is holding a ‘first reading’ for three new policies (4321.6, 4321.7, 4321.8) and then immediately voting to waive the second and third readings for instant adoption in the very next agenda item (10.4). This is a procedural tactic to limit public scrutiny and prevent parents from having time to review the policies and provide feedback. This sets a dangerous precedent for future, more controversial policies.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: Sign up for public comment. Address the board: ‘We demand you vote NO on Item 10.4. Do not waive the second and third readings for any policy. The public deserves the standard time to review and comment on new policies. Rushing this vote is an unacceptable violation of transparency.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Erosion of public oversight and transparency.

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Vague Mental Health Services Contract
| 📅 Vote Scheduled July 28, 2026 |
Under the vague title ‘Student Personnel Services Memorandum #02-A,’ the board is approving a contract with an outside vendor, ‘KIDZ Educational,’ to provide psychology and social work (LMSW) services. This brings third-party mental health providers into contact with students. The specific terms of the contract, including parental consent requirements, data privacy, and the therapeutic models being used, are hidden within an attached PDF.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Review the file ‘2026-2027 Kidz Educational Agreement PE.pdf’ attached to Item 9.14 in the official agenda. Email the Board (verify contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the KIDZ Educational contract, what are the specific parental notification and consent policies for all psychology and social work services provided to students? Will parents be present for these sessions?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed contract amount.

Hiring Undisclosed ‘Strategic Planning’ Consultant
| 📅 Vote Scheduled July 28, 2026 |
The board plans to pay ‘K12 Coalition’ $32,500 to oversee a ‘Strategic Action Plan.’ These types of consulting gigs are often used to introduce controversial ‘Equity’ or ‘DEI’ initiatives under the guise of neutral-sounding ‘strategic planning.’ The district has provided no proposal, contract, or statement of work from this vendor, leaving parents completely in the dark about their agenda.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Superintendent and Board (verify contact info on district website). ‘I demand Item 9.25 be tabled until the full proposal and statement of work from K12 Coalition is made public. We will not approve a $32,500 contract for a secret plan for our district.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $32,500
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Secret Memo Approval on Consent Agenda
| 📅 Vote Scheduled July 28, 2026 |
The board is voting to approve ‘Student Personnel Services Memorandum #02’ as part of the consent agenda (Item 6.1). The abstract says it’s for accepting special education (CSE/CPSE) recommendations, but the actual memorandum is not attached for public review. The board is voting on a document parents cannot see.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the District Clerk, Rita James, at Rjames@mtvernoncsd.org. ‘Please provide the public with a copy of the document referenced in agenda item 6.1, Student Personnel Services Memorandum #02, before the board votes to approve it.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed.
