Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Dover Public School District. We found 8 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
District Adopting Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Framework
The district is formally adopting a ‘Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS)’ framework. Goal #2 explicitly targets student ‘Behavior, Attendance, and Social-Emotional Well-Being’ using ‘SEL supports’ and ‘social-emotional indicators,’ shifting focus from academics to psychological evaluation.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND A VOTE ON GOAL #2 SEPARATELY: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘I demand Goal #2 be removed from the District Goals. The district’s job is to teach academics, not to be my child’s therapist. Focus on reading, writing, and math.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Academics Replaced by SEL

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
Secret Policies Introduced for First Reading
The board is holding a ‘First Reading’ for new, undisclosed policies and regulations. The agenda references attached documents but provides no text, preventing public review before the first step of approval.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE & DELAY: Open the files attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to see what’s hidden. Email the Board: ‘No policy should be voted on without being made public. Table items O.1 and O.2 until the full text is posted for parental review.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Board Oversight
|
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
District Accepting $1.4M in Federal Grants with Strings
The district is applying for over $1.4 million in ESEA grants (Title I, II, III, IV). This federal money often comes with mandates to implement specific DEI/SEL programs or data-sharing requirements that subvert local control.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TO SEE THE STRINGS: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Before accepting $1.4M in federal funds, please provide the full grant application and any attached assurances for public review. We must know what ideological commitments you are making on our behalf.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $1.4M (Federal Strings Attached)
|
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Taxpayer-Funded Gender & Sexuality Alliance (GSA) Club
The district is funding advisors for a ‘GSA: Beyond Difference Club.’ These clubs often promote radical gender ideology and can encourage students to adopt new pronouns or identities without parental knowledge or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘What is the curriculum for the GSA club, and what is the district’s policy on notifying parents if a child requests to use a different name or pronoun at school?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Parental Exclusion
|
| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Vague Renewal of Undisclosed Vendor Contracts
The board is voting to renew a list of contracts, but the list of vendors is not included in the agenda. This could be a way to approve controversial contracts for data-mining or SEL curriculum (like Panorama or CASEL) without public debate.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to identify the vendors. Email the Board: ‘Pull item P.7 from the agenda. Parents deserve to know which vendors are receiving taxpayer money and what services they are providing our children.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed
|
| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Presentation on Student Behavior & Emotional Tracking System
The board will hear a presentation on ‘Multi-Tiered System of Supports’ (MTSS). This is often a framework for collecting non-academic data on students’ behavior and emotions to justify interventions, potentially without full parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Email the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘What specific data will be collected on students under the MTSS framework, who will have access to it, and what is the parental opt-out process?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Data
|
| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Approval of Vague ’21st Century’ Curriculum
The board is voting to approve multiple new and revised curricula under the vague heading of ’21st Century.’ This is a common euphemism used to introduce non-academic concepts like ‘global citizenship’ or SEL into the classroom without parental scrutiny.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TO REVIEW: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Parents have the right to review all curriculum materials. Post the full text of all ’21st Century’ curriculum online for public review before any vote is taken.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Hidden Ideological Content
|
| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Funding for ‘Behavioral Intervention’ Coaches
The district is paying staff to be ‘Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS)’ coaches. This is part of the MTSS/SEL system that monitors and attempts to modify student behavior to align with district-approved social norms.
Recommended Action Plan
QUESTION THE FUNDING: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Why are Title I funds, meant for academic support, being used to pay for behavioral coaches instead of reading specialists?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Title I Funds
