Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for HEWLETT-WOODMERE UNION FREE SCHOOL DISTRICT. We found 5 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
New Attendance Policy Threatens CPS Referrals
The Board is voting on Policy #5100, a new attendance policy. Buried inside, it gives the district authority to refer families to Child Protective Services (CPS) for what it deems ‘educational neglect’ based on student absences. This puts a powerful weapon in the hands of the school to intimidate parents who may have legitimate reasons for their child’s absence.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a direct threat to family autonomy. Email the Board of Education (see official agenda for contact info): ‘I strongly oppose Policy #5100. The district must not threaten parents with CPS investigations over attendance. Remove Section J before you vote.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Threat of a CPS Investigation

Mysterious $185,000 ‘Capacity’ Contract in BOCES Agreement
Item H.12 approves a massive contract with Nassau BOCES. Hidden inside is a $185,000 line item for ‘Building Local Capacity,’ with no further explanation. This vague title could easily hide spending on controversial DEI consultants, political activism training, or other programs parents would never approve if they were named.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Education (see official agenda for contact info): ‘Pull Item H.12 from the Consent Agenda. I demand a public explanation of the $185,000 for ‘Building Local Capacity’ before you vote to approve the BOCES contract.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $185,000 (Taxpayer Funds)

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Over $116k for Vague ‘Mental Health Resources’
The Nassau BOCES contract (Item H.12) allocates over $116,000 for ‘Mental Health School Resources.’ These vaguely-named programs are often a pipeline for Social Emotional Learning (SEL) curriculum and school-based services that can operate without direct parental involvement or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE HARD QUESTIONS: Email the Board of Education (see official agenda for contact info): ‘Regarding Item H.12, what specific SEL curriculum and vendors are funded by the $116,000+ for Mental Health Resources? Parents have a right to know before this is approved.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

Bundled Approval Hides Controversial Software
Item H.12’s BOCES contract includes a massive, bundled approval for ‘Curriculum & Instruction Software’ costing hundreds of thousands of dollars. This includes vendors like NEWSELA, which has been criticized for biased content, and prevents the Board and public from vetting each program individually.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND VETTING: Email the Board of Education (see official agenda for contact info): ‘Do not approve the bundled software in the BOCES contract (Item H.12). Each curriculum vendor must be presented and approved individually with full transparency for parents.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Ideological Classroom Content

| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
Item H.5 on the consent agenda is to approve a ‘Schedule of Contracts,’ but the document listing the vendors was not included in the agenda packet. This schedule could contain agreements with ideological consultants or data-mining companies, hidden from public view.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed
