Heads up! We have scanned the upcoming agenda for Bogota Public School District. We found 8 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
District Paying $14,354 for ‘Mental Health Services’
The bill list (Item 8.1) includes a $14,354.80 payment to ‘Care Plus’ for ‘MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES.’ School-based mental health programs can lead to student counseling, screenings, and interventions without full parental knowledge or consent, and this is being approved without discussion in a bundled vote.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Education (contact info on district website): ‘I demand Item 8.1, the Bill List, be pulled from the Consent Agenda. The Board must publicly discuss the $14,354 payment to Care Plus and confirm what specific mental health services are being provided to students and what parental consent is required.’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

Board Approving $5,610 for ‘Great Body Shop’ Health Curriculum
Hidden in the bill list (Item 8.1) is a $5,610 payment to ‘The Childrens Health Market’ for the ‘Great Body Shop’ curriculum. This is a health and wellness program that may contain sensitive topics on sexuality and development, being approved without public review of the materials.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND REVIEW: Email the Board of Education (contact info on district website): ‘Pull Item 8.1 from the consent agenda. Before approving $5,610 for ‘The Childrens Health Market,’ the Board must make the ‘Great Body Shop’ curriculum materials available for full parental review.’
💰 Impact: $5,610

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
District Partnering with DCF for ‘Support Services’
Item 6.9 approves a partnership with the Department of Children and Families (DCF) to provide an ‘alternative pathway’ and ‘support services’ for at-risk students. Involving an outside government agency like DCF in providing undefined ‘support services’ at school creates a risk of interventions that bypass parental authority.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND OVERSIGHT: Email the Board of Education (contact info on district website): ‘Pull Item 6.9 from the consent agenda for a full discussion. What specific ‘support services’ will DCF provide on campus, and what is the policy for parental notification and consent before a student receives them?’
💰 Impact: Bypassing Parents

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |

Ideological Curriculum and Memberships Hidden in Bill List
The bill list in Item 8.1 contains multiple payments to ideological vendors being approved without discussion, including $3,243 to Renaissance for ‘Flocabulary,’ $7,158 to TCI for social studies curriculum, and $300 for a membership to the Kean University Diversity Council. This is spending taxpayer money on social engineering and DEI initiatives.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND A ROLL-CALL VOTE: Email the Board of Education (contact info on district website): ‘Pull Item 8.1 from the consent agenda. I demand a separate discussion and roll-call vote on the payments to Renaissance/Flocabulary, TCI, and the Kean University Diversity Council. Stop funding ideological programs with our tax dollars.’
💰 Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Ideology

University Researcher Studying Student Surveillance Program
Item 6.3 approves a doctoral student to conduct a study on the ‘Check & Connect Mentoring Program.’ This program is a student monitoring system used to track behavior and academics, and this study will involve collecting data on Bogota students without clear parental consent policies.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the Board of Education (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item 6.3, please provide the specific parental consent and opt-out forms for the ‘Check & Connect’ study before this is voted on. What student data will be collected and who will have access to it?’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Data

| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
New District Goal Targets ‘Chronic Absenteeism’
Item 6.17 approves the 2026-2027 District Goals, which includes a specific goal to decrease ‘chronic absenteeism.’ This terminology is often a gateway for intrusive tracking measures, data dashboards, and even home visits to investigate student absences.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND CLARITY: Email the Board of Education (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the ‘Chronic Absenteeism’ goal in Item 6.17, what specific new policies or programs will be implemented to achieve this? Parents must be informed of any new tracking or intervention measures before they are approved.’
💰 Impact: Family Privacy

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
Item 7.15 approves revised job descriptions for ‘Athletic Director’ and ‘Supervisor of Early Childhood,’ but the actual documents showing the changes are not attached to the agenda. Changes to the Early Childhood Supervisor role could introduce new ideological duties or qualifications without public review.
Recommended Action Plan

| Major Win (LEVEL 7) |
|
WIN: District Goals Prioritize Math and Reading Proficiency
The new District Goals for 2026-2027 (Item 6.17) explicitly focus on improving student proficiency in mathematics and English Language Arts. Goals 1 and 2 set clear, measurable targets for academic achievement in core subjects, a welcome return to basics.
How to Lock It In
AMPLIFY THIS WIN: Show up or email the Board to thank them for prioritizing core academics in the new District Goals (Item 6.17). Publicly praising this focus on math and reading makes it harder for the district to shift focus back to social agendas later.
✅ Why It Matters: Return to Academics
