Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Florence Township School District. We found 9 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |
|
Final Vote on ‘Equity’ Policy
The board is taking a final vote on Policy 2260, ‘Equity in School and Classroom Practices.’ This policy will formally embed controversial equity ideology into all school and classroom operations, potentially impacting curriculum, teacher training, and student discipline.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is the final vote to make ‘Equity’ official district policy. Contact the Board of Education (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘I demand you vote NO on Policy 2260 in item PO-05. Focus on academic excellence, not ideological agendas.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Academics Replaced by Ideology

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
Contract for ‘Restorative’ Discipline Program
The district plans to pay AVEDA Counseling $2,500 for a ‘Restorative, Educational & Skill-Building In-School Suspension System.’ ‘Restorative Practices’ often reduce consequences for misbehavior and can incorporate SEL-based psychological evaluations without parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘What specific curriculum and training materials will AVEDA Counseling use for the ‘restorative’ discipline program in item B-03.f? Parents have a right to review these materials before you approve the contract.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $2,500 (Federal Strings Attached)

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
$700,000 Contract for Undisclosed ‘Behavior Support’
The board is approving a $700,000 contract with Brett DiNoci & Associates for ‘Clinical and Behavior support.’ The agenda provides no details on this vendor or the specific services, which could range from special education support to school-wide psychological interventions.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Item B-03.c is a $700,000 contract with no public details. Pull this from the agenda until the board provides a full explanation of Brett DiNoci & Associates’ services and parents can review the contract.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $700,000
|
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
District Appointing Student Intervention (MTSS) Teams
The district is appointing staff to Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) teams. This framework creates a system for student surveillance and intervention for academic, behavioral, and social-emotional issues, often bypassing specific parental consent for each action taken.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: Contact the Superintendent’s office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding item P-06, what is the district’s specific policy for notifying and obtaining consent from parents before a child is subjected to Tier 2 or Tier 3 MTSS interventions?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Student Surveillance
|
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
District Reaffirms ‘Comprehensive Equity Plan’
The board is voting to approve its annual ‘Statement of Assurance’ for its multi-year Comprehensive Equity Plan. This locks the district into implementing DEI initiatives and reporting compliance to the state, ensuring these programs continue.
Recommended Action Plan
PUT THEM ON RECORD: Contact the Board of Education (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘I oppose the continued implementation of the Comprehensive Equity Plan under item C-05. I urge you to focus district resources on academic achievement, not divisive equity initiatives.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Entrenching DEI Bureaucracy
|
| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Contract to Mentor ‘At-Risk’ Students
The district is paying AVEDA Counseling $6,500 to train staff mentors for ‘identified at-risk students.’ The criteria for identifying a student as ‘at-risk’ are not defined, creating a potential pathway for SEL or other interventions without full parental transparency.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Contact the Superintendent’s office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding item B-03.a, what are the specific criteria for identifying a student as ‘at-risk,’ and what is the parental notification and consent process before a student is assigned a mentor?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $6,500 (Federal Strings Attached)
|
| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
District Accepts ‘Wellness Grant’ with Unclear Purpose
The district is accepting an $8,000 ‘Wellness Grant’ from an entity called SHIF. ‘Wellness’ is often a trojan horse for SEL programs or mental health screenings that can occur at school without parental knowledge or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the Superintendent (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding the Wellness Grant in item B-06, what specific programs will this fund, and will parents have the right to opt their children out of any related surveys or screenings?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $8,000 (Strings Attached?)
|
| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Teacher Training on ‘Equity in Physical Education’
The district is paying for teachers to attend a workshop called ‘Inclusive by Design: Elevating Equity in Physical Education & Related Arts.’ This shows the district is spending professional development funds to push equity ideology into all subjects, even gym class.
Recommended Action Plan
Monitor: This training shows the direction the district is heading. Track for how these concepts are implemented in the classroom. No immediate action required, but be aware.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $255
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 3) |
|
Student Safety and Bullying Data Collection
The board is accepting the ‘Student Safety Data System’ and ‘Harassment, Intimidation, and Bullying’ (HIB) reports. These systems collect data on student behavior, and HIB policies can be used to police speech and enforce ideological views on social issues.
Recommended Action Plan
Monitor: Be aware of how the district defines ‘harassment’ and ‘bullying.’ Track for future policy changes that could expand these definitions. No immediate action required.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Data
