Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Carlstadt Public School District. We found 7 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
Board Bypassing Public Review to Rush New Policies
Items 2.3 and 2.4 ask the Board to suspend its own rules requiring two public readings for new policies (5516 and 8662). This tactic is used to rush controversial policies into place before parents have a chance to review them or speak out.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and email the Board: ‘Do not suspend Bylaw 0131. The public deserves the standard two-reading process to review any new policy. What are you trying to hide by rushing this vote?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Board Oversight

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
Blanket Approval of All K-8 Curriculum
Item 1.10, buried in a consent vote, asks the board to approve the entire K-8 curriculum for all subjects in one motion. This prevents any public review or discussion of specific materials, effectively hiding what your child will be taught next year.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and email the Board: ‘I demand Item 1.10 be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion. Parents have a right to see and discuss the curriculum before it is approved.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: No Parental Review

District Pays $15,928 for Student Data Platform
The bill list includes a $15,928.77 payment to LINKIt, a student data and assessment platform. These systems collect vast amounts of academic and non-academic data on students, creating digital dossiers that can follow them for years without full parental knowledge or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND DATA PRIVACY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and email the Board: ‘Regarding the LINKIt payment, what specific data points are being collected on students? Who owns this data, and with which third parties is it shared? Provide the district’s data privacy policy.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Final Vote on ‘Equity’ Policy for Classrooms
Item 2.1(i) is the final vote to adopt ‘P2260 Equity in School and Classroom Practices.’ These policies often introduce divisive concepts and prioritize equal outcomes over equal opportunity, changing both what is taught and how it’s taught.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is the final vote. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and email the Board: ‘Vote NO on Policy 2260. Our schools must focus on academic excellence and equal opportunity for all students, not divisive equity agendas.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Ideology in the Classroom

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Payment to SEL Vendor ‘The Positivity Project’
The bill list reveals a $3,795 payment to ‘The Positivity Project LLC,’ a known Social Emotional Learning (SEL) vendor. SEL programs often replace academic instruction time with subjective psychological programming and character training that belongs in the home.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and email the Board: ‘Why is the district spending money on The Positivity Project? Provide the full curriculum for parental review and confirm parents can opt their children out of all SEL programming.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $3,795
|
| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Vague Contract for ‘Classroom Instruction’ Support
Item 4.5 approves a contract with ‘Educational Leadership & Learning Center’ for ‘K-8 support ELA standards and classroom instruction.’ The cost is not disclosed, and the vague description could hide training on controversial instructional methods like ‘anti-racism’ or ‘equity’.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and email the Board: ‘Regarding the contract with Educational Leadership & Learning Center in Item 4.5, what is the total cost and what specific services and training will be provided? Parents deserve to know before you approve this.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed
|
| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
District Accepting Over $148k in Federal ESEA Funds
Item 4.9 approves the acceptance of $148,753 in federal ESEA funds (Title I, II, III, IV). This money often comes with ideological strings attached, mandating specific programs or data collection requirements that align with federal priorities, not local parent values.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE QUESTION: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and email the Board: ‘Regarding Item 4.9, what specific curriculum, training, or data collection mandates are attached to the ESEA funds? Parents must be informed of all strings before this money is accepted.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $148,753 (Federal Strings Attached)
