Heads up! We have scanned the upcoming agenda for Fair Lawn Public School District. We found 7 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |
|
District to Pay $129,460 for In-School “Mental Health” Services
The district’s bill list under Item 12C includes a payment of $129,460 to Effective School Solutions LLC. This vendor embeds its own therapists and behavioral programs directly into schools, creating a system of school-based therapy that can operate without direct parental consent or involvement for each session.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a critical threat. Item 12C hides a $129,460 contract with Effective School Solutions, a company that puts outside therapists in our schools. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘I demand the payment to Effective School Solutions LLC under Item 12C be stopped. We do not consent to school-based therapy clinics operating without parental presence.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $129,460

| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
Board to Approve University Partnership to Train Teachers
Under items 9N and 12G, the board is approving a partnership with Ramapo College’s “Archway Project.” This program creates a “teacher residency” pipeline, embedding university students (“clinical interns”) and their training methods directly into our classrooms, potentially bypassing district oversight on pedagogical and ideological content.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND OVERSIGHT: Email the Board (contact info on district website) before Thursday’s vote on Items 9N and 12G: ‘What specific curriculum and pedagogical frameworks will Ramapo College’s “clinical interns” be required to use? Parents must have oversight over who is teaching our children and what they are being taught.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Ideological Teacher Pipeline

| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required for Superintendent’s 5-Year Contract
Item 9M approves a new five-year employment contract for the Superintendent, effective through June 2031. The contract document itself was not included in the agenda packet, preventing public review of the terms, salary, and performance goals before the vote.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The board is voting on a 5-year Superintendent contract (Item 9M), but the document isn’t in the public packet. Open the file ‘Motion #9M – R. Dionisio Superintendent of Schools Contract 2026-2031.pdf’ in the Official Agenda (linked above) to see the terms. Email the Board: ‘The vote on Item 9M must be postponed until the full text of the Superintendent’s contract is made available for public review for at least one week.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Terms

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
District Accepts $8,750 for Student “Wellness” Presentations
The board is accepting an $8,750 donation under Item 12A to bring in a speaker, “Stephen Hill of Hill Speaks, LLC,” for student presentations. These types of “wellness” or motivational assemblies are often used to introduce sensitive Social Emotional Learning (SEL) or other ideological concepts to students without a clear curriculum for parents to review.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TO REVIEW: Email the Board regarding Item 12A. ‘Before any contract is signed with Hill Speaks, LLC, parents demand to review the full presentation materials and a detailed summary of the topics that will be presented to students. What is the specific content of this $8,750 presentation?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $8,750

| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Board Approving Vague List of Outside Psychological Service Providers
Item 10C approves a long list of external vendors for special education services, including psychological and behavioral evaluations. These third-party contractors, like Behavior Therapy Associates, will have direct access to students for sensitive assessments, but their methods and guiding philosophies are not disclosed for parental review.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the Board regarding Item 10C. ‘I demand the district provide a clear opt-out process for any non-academic or psychological evaluation by third-party vendors. Parents must give explicit, written consent before our children are assessed by any of the providers on this list.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Privacy
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Staff to be Trained on “School Climate Teams”
Item 8A15 approves sending a staff member to a training on “The Role of the School Climate Team.” “School Climate” programs are a cornerstone of Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and are used to collect subjective data on students’ attitudes and beliefs, often leading to “restorative” interventions.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Email the Board regarding Item 8A15. ‘What is the purpose of a “School Climate Team” in our district? Will these teams be administering surveys to students, and if so, will parents be able to review the surveys and opt their children out?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Student Data Collection
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 3) |
|
Board Formalizes Identity-Based Student Clubs
Item 9O approves volunteer advisors for several identity-based clubs, including a Black Student Union, Muslim Student Association, and South Asian Student Association. While student-led, the formal approval of advisors by the board institutionalizes the sorting of students by identity, a key practice of the DEI agenda.
Recommended Action Plan
Monitor: This formalizes identity-based student groups. Track for future scope creep into curriculum or school policy; no immediate action required.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Dividing Students by Identity
