Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for BEACON CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT. We found 6 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
District Paying Teachers to Lead ‘School Equity Teams’
The board is approving stipends for five teachers to serve as ‘School Equity Team Leaders.’ This creates paid positions dedicated to pushing a divisive equity agenda inside our schools, shifting focus from academics to political activism.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: This item (11.04) must be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a full discussion. Email the Board of Education (contact info on district website): ‘What is the purpose, curriculum, and expected outcomes of the School Equity Teams? Parents have a right to know who is shaping school culture and what they are being paid to do.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $4,624.75 in Stipends

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
District Funds Race-Based ‘Black Student Union’ Club
Under item 11.14, the board is appointing and paying advisors for a ‘Black Student Union.’ This is a form of affinity group that segregates students by race, which is inherently divisive and contrary to the goal of uniting students.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: Email the Board of Education (contact info on district website): ‘Why are taxpayer funds being used to sponsor clubs that divide students by race? All school-sponsored clubs should be open to and inclusive of every student, regardless of their skin color.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Stipend

Developing ‘Portrait of a Graduate’ Framework
Item 11.13 appoints a teacher to a summer working group for the ‘NY Inspire/Portrait of a Graduate’ initiative. These frameworks often serve as a Trojan horse to replace traditional academic achievement with subjective, SEL-focused social goals like ‘Global Citizenship.’
Recommended Action Plan
GET AHEAD OF IT: Email the Superintendent: ‘Regarding Item 11.13, I demand that parents be included in the ‘Portrait of a Graduate’ working group. We must have a say in the standards our children are expected to meet for graduation, and they must prioritize academic excellence.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Replacing Academics

Vague Agreement with Psychologist – Manual Review Required
Item 13.01 approves an agreement with a Dr. Andreas Smoller, Ph.D., but the attached contract file could not be read. The purpose of this contract is not specified in the agenda, leaving parents in the dark about what services are being procured.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘Smoller IEE Contract_Redacted.pdf’ attached to item 13.01 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm the nature and cost of this psychological services contract.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Ideological Language Found in Special Education Plan
A presentation on the Special Education plan (Item 3.01) uses ideological buzzwords, including aligning student development with the ‘Portrait of a Graduate’ and fostering ‘Global Citizens.’ It also calls for strengthening ‘school-based mental health supports,’ which can open the door to services provided without parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK FOR DEFINITIONS: Email the Assistant Superintendent for Pupil Personnel Services: ‘Regarding the presentation for Item 3.01, please provide the district’s official definition of ‘Global Citizen.’ Also, what specific parental notification and opt-out procedures are in place for school-based mental health supports?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Ideological Creep
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 3) |
|
Vague Contractor Agreement – Manual Review Required
Item 14.02 approves agreements with three contractors, but the file for the Janson company was not included in the provided documents. While likely related to construction, parents have a right to see all contracts before they are approved.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘279180-24002.2 – A132-2019C – Owner-Contractor Agreement – TSC – Janson – Draft for Review (1).pdf’ attached to item 14.02 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm the scope and cost of this contract.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed
