Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Dover Public School District. We found 4 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Hiding Where Our Kids and Money Are Going
| 📅 Vote Scheduled July 28, 2026 |
Under item P.5, the Board is voting to approve an undisclosed number of ‘Out-of-District contracts’ for the next school year with zero public information. We don’t know which private schools or vendors are involved, how many students are affected, or how much taxpayer money is being spent. This is a blank check written with our money.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Education. ‘I demand Item P.5, Out-of-District Contracts, be pulled from the bundled vote for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. The public deserves to know which vendors you are contracting with and the total cost before you approve this blank check.’ Parents should verify board member emails on the district website.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed; Potentially Millions

Secret Changes to Who Can Use School Buildings
| 📅 Vote Scheduled July 28, 2026 |
The Board is holding a final vote on a revised policy (P7510/R7510) for ‘Use of School Facilities.’ The agenda title is vague and does not include the text of the policy changes. We need to know if these revisions open the door for controversial political or activist groups to have access to school property and our children.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Review the file for Policy P7510 attached in the Official Agenda linked above to determine if it contains sensitive policy changes. Email the Board: ‘The revised policy P7510 must be read aloud in full before the vote. Parents have a right to know who you are letting into our schools.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: N/A

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Paying a Consultant $2,200 a Day for ‘Literacy Services’
| 📅 Vote Scheduled July 28, 2026 |
The Board plans to approve a $26,400 contract with Gravity Goldberg, LLC for 12 days of ‘literacy professional services’ (Item P.12). Parents need to ask if this consultant’s ‘student-centered’ methods are proven to raise reading scores or if this is another expensive fad that replaces phonics and foundational skills with less effective techniques.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Email the Board of Education. ‘Regarding Item P.12, what specific, evidence-based literacy curriculum will Gravity Goldberg, LLC be implementing for $26,400? Will this training replace or supplement explicit phonics instruction?’ Parents should verify board member emails on the district website.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $26,400

|
‘Family Literacy’ Grant Could Open Door to Home Life Scrutiny
| 📅 Vote Scheduled July 28, 2026 |
The district is accepting a $54,102 grant for a ‘Literacy Initiative for Families and Thriving Communities’ (Item P.8). Vague terms like ‘family initiatives’ can be Trojan horses for programs that survey families, conduct home visits, or collect data on your home life under the guise of helping your child read.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND DETAILS: Email the Board of Education. ‘Regarding the LIFT grant in Item P.8, what specific activities does this grant fund? Will it involve any home visits, family surveys, or data collection on students’ home environments? Parents must be able to opt-out.’ Parents should verify board member emails on the district website.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $54,102 (Strings-Attached Money)
