Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Florence Township School District. We found 4 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |
|
Secret ‘Equity’ Policy Introduced Without Public Review
The board is conducting a “First Reading” of a new policy titled “Equity in School and Classroom Practices (2260).” Policies with “Equity” in the title are the foundation for implementing DEI initiatives, which often lead to judging students by their race, lowering academic standards for certain groups, and diverting resources from education to activism. The district has not provided the text of this policy for public review, hiding the details from parents before the first vote.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a critical threat. Sign up for public comment at the July 27th meeting. Email the Board of Education (contact info on the district website): ‘Vote NO on the first reading of Policy 2260. Do not vote on any policy, especially one as controversial as ‘Equity,’ without providing the full text to the public for review well in advance of the meeting. This is a violation of transparency and parental trust.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed. Establishes framework for future DEI spending.

Spending $31,000 on Social-Emotional Learning Program
Under item C-01, the board is approving $31,000 for “Responsive Classroom” training and its “Fly Five” digital curriculum. This program embeds Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) into the school day, focusing on student feelings and group dynamics rather than core academics. SEL is often used to introduce controversial topics on identity and social justice under the guise of “relationship-building.”
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Education and Superintendent (contact info on the district website): ‘I demand Item C-01 be pulled for a separate discussion and vote. Parents deserve to know what is in the ‘Fly Five’ curriculum and how ‘Responsive Classroom’ aligns with academic priorities, not social engineering. Provide a public review of all materials before spending $31,000.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $31,000

District-Wide Behavioral Intervention and Data-Mining System
The Personnel Committee agenda (attached under Item 8) reveals that administrators and staff are receiving training on “MTSS” (Multi-Tiered System of Supports) and “MTSS-B” (the ‘B’ is for Behavior). MTSS is a framework that allows the school to collect academic, behavioral, and social-emotional data on every child to identify those needing “interventions.” This system can lead to students being flagged and put into special programs or receiving counseling without full parental knowledge or consent, creating a data file that follows them through their school career.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE HARD QUESTIONS: Email the Superintendent and Board of Education (contact info on the district website): ‘The Personnel Committee agenda mentions MTSS training. What specific screening tools will be used to collect student data? What are the criteria for placing a child in a Tier 2 or Tier 3 intervention? Will parents be required to provide written consent before any non-academic or behavioral intervention is started with their child under the MTSS framework?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed training costs, plus future implementation costs.

Ideological Curriculum and Surveillance for Preschoolers
Under the “Contracts” section (Item B-03.t), the board is approving a $13,784.80 purchase of “Creative Curriculum” and “Teaching Strategies GOLD” for preschool. “Creative Curriculum” is known for its heavy focus on social-emotional themes that can introduce complex and sensitive topics about identity and family structures to four-year-olds. “Teaching Strategies GOLD” is a data-tracking system that assesses and monitors your child’s social and emotional development, creating a permanent record that goes beyond academics.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Education (contact info on the district website): ‘Regarding Item B-03.t, I demand that the ‘Creative Curriculum’ materials be made available for parental review before purchase. Who owns the social-emotional data collected on my preschooler by ‘Teaching Strategies GOLD,’ and how can I opt my child out of this data collection?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $13,784.80
