CONNETQUOT CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT — Reorganization Meeting, Tuesday, July 14, 2026.
Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for CONNETQUOT CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT. We found 6 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
Secret Hirings and Firings
The Board is scheduled to vote on an undisclosed list of personnel changes under Item M.1, including new hires, appointments, and tenure. The agenda provides no attached file listing the names or positions being voted on. This complete lack of transparency could be used to hire ideological consultants, DEI officers, or SEL coaches without any public scrutiny.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: Sign up for public comment. Contact the Board of Education: ‘We demand the full list of personnel changes for Item M.1 be released to the public before the meeting. We will not accept a vote on secret hires.’ Parents should verify contact information on the district website.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed. Could include salaries for new ideological positions.

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Secret Renewal of All District Policies
Under Item J.2, the board is voting to ‘accept and continue’ every single existing policy for the next school year in one vote. This means any controversial policies on gender identity, parental notification, or curriculum that are already on the books will be automatically renewed without a specific review or public discussion. This is a procedural maneuver to avoid accountability on sensitive issues.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Board of Education: ‘I demand Item J.2, the blanket re-adoption of all policies, be removed from the bundled vote. The Board must publicly identify and review all policies related to parental rights, gender identity, and curriculum before any vote is taken.’ Parents should verify contact information on the district website.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: The entrenchment of potentially harmful policies for another year.

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Code of Conduct Changes Could Impact Student Speech
The Board is holding a public hearing on updates to the student Code of Conduct (Policy 5300). These documents are often used to insert ideological language, such as defining ‘bullying’ to include using the wrong pronouns or creating punishments for speech that is not aligned with the district’s views on gender and race. The agenda provides a presentation file but no clear summary of the changes.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Review the file ‘Code of Conduct July 14, 2026 Presentation (1).pptx’ attached in the Official Agenda linked above. Search for keywords like ‘gender identity,’ ‘pronouns,’ ‘harassment,’ ‘bias,’ and ‘restorative.’ Be prepared to speak at the public hearing.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: The cost to students’ first amendment rights and the creation of a hostile environment for children who hold traditional beliefs.

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Approving a Blank Check for an Unknown Auditor
Under Item J.47, the Board is voting to authorize a contract for the District’s External Auditor, but the name of the firm has been left blank in the agenda. This is a serious transparency violation. Parents and taxpayers have a right to know who is being hired to audit the district’s finances before the contract is approved.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Board of Education: ‘I demand Item J.47 be tabled until the name of the proposed External Auditor is made public. The Board cannot vote to approve a contract with a blank vendor.’ Parents should verify contact information on the district website.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed contract amount.

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Hiding ‘Behavioral Services’ Contract in a Bundled Vote
Buried in the Consent Agenda (Item O.22), which passes dozens of items in a single vote, is a contract with ‘Frontier Behavioral Services, LLC’ for ‘special education related services.’ The term ‘behavioral services’ is a red flag for psychological or Social Emotional Learning (SEL) interventions that may not align with parental values. Hiding this in a bundled vote prevents any public discussion about this vendor’s methods.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Board of Education: ‘I demand Item O.22, the contract with Frontier Behavioral Services, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. Parents deserve to know what ‘behavioral services’ this vendor will be providing to our children.’ Parents should verify contact information on the district website.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed contract amount.

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
New Committees to Push ‘Wellness’ and ‘Mental Health’ Ideology
The Board is establishing and seeking members for new ‘Mental Health’ and ‘Wellness’ committees (Items G.1 & J.17). These seemingly harmless committees are often used as Trojan horses to introduce controversial Social Emotional Learning (SEL) programs, ‘whole child’ initiatives, and mental health screenings that can occur without full parental consent or knowledge.
Recommended Action Plan
INFILTRATE & REPORT: Contact the District Office. ‘I am a parent who wants to serve on the new Mental Health and Wellness committees to ensure parental rights are the top priority. When will you be accepting applications?’ We need moms in these meetings. Parents should verify contact information on the district website.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Future spending on SEL vendors and consultants.
