District Spends $12,000 on i-Ready Training
The board is paying Curriculum Associates $12,000 for “professional learning sessions” related to their i-Ready software. i-Ready is known for its extensive student data collection and for embedding Social Emotional Learning (SEL) content into academic subjects.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Pull Item K.1 from the Consent Agenda. Parents deserve a public discussion on what data i-Ready collects on our children and what SEL content is included in its lessons.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $12,000

District Hires “Engage2Learn” for Data Survey
The district is paying Engage2Learn $10,000 from a grant to conduct a “Data Triangle Survey.” This is a school “climate” survey, a form of student surveillance often used to collect subjective data to justify implementing controversial DEI and SEL programs.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item K.3, parents must be given clear opt-out information for the Engage2Learn survey. We do not consent to our children being used as data points to justify a political agenda.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $10,000 (Grant Funded)

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |

New “Dignity Act” Coordinator Appointed
The board is appointing a school psychologist to be the “Dignity Act Coordinating Support Personnel.” New York’s Dignity for All Students Act (DASA) is frequently used to introduce and enforce DEI and gender ideology in schools under the banner of anti-bullying.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘What will be the specific duties of the new Dignity Act Coordinator? We are concerned this role will be used to push a political agenda on our children, not prevent bullying.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Ideological Enforcement
|
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The board is approving a contract for “counseling support services and staff consultation” with a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, but the contract details are not attached. This could authorize school-based counseling on sensitive topics like gender identity without parental notification or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm the scope of this counseling contract. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Does the contract with Joseph Gagliano require parental consent before a student receives counseling services? We must have a parental consent guarantee.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

New Policy Restricts Parent Speech at Meetings
The district’s public comment rules, attached to the agenda, limit the first comment period to only items on the current agenda. The policy also prohibits parents from naming employees, which can be used to prevent accountability for specific staff actions.
Recommended Action Plan
DEFEND YOUR VOICE: Sign up for public comment to oppose the restrictive speech rules in Policy 3220. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Parents must be free to raise any issue at any time and hold specific staff accountable. Do not silence our voices with these rules.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Right to Speak
|
| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The board is voting on a revised “Acceptable Use Policy” for students, but the policy text is not attached. The summary mentions “promoting digital citizenship,” which is often a gateway for teaching politically charged and ideological content online.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘What does ‘digital citizenship’ mean in this policy? We demand to see the full text before you vote on rules governing our children’s online activity.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Ideology in Tech Policy

District Renews Contract with Student Data Vendor
The board is approving a contract with Renaissance Learning for software support, costing over $10,000. Renaissance products like Star Assessments and Accelerated Reader collect vast amounts of student data, tracking their progress and habits.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item K.7, who owns the student data collected by Renaissance Learning, and with whom is it shared? Parents have a right to know how our children’s data is being used.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Data

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The board is voting to adopt the 2026-2027 Districtwide Safety Plan, but the plan itself is not attached to the public agenda. These plans can sometimes include controversial policies on bullying, discipline, or gender identity under the guise of safety.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes. If the plan is not there, email the Board (contact info on district website) demanding the full text be released for public review before any vote.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Hidden Policy Changes
|
| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The board is approving a large bundle of personnel changes (hires, leaves, etc.) without providing the list of names and positions in the public agenda. This lack of transparency could be used to hire staff for ideological roles like DEI or SEL coordinators without public scrutiny.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the files attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to find the names and job titles being approved. We must verify that taxpayer money isn’t funding new administrative positions focused on political agendas instead of academics.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Salaries

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |

District to Host Social Work Interns in Schools
The board is approving an agreement to place social work students from Yeshiva University in district schools for fieldwork. Social work has become a highly ideological field, and these interns can act as another layer of mental health surveillance and intervention, often operating without direct parental oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘What will be the role of social work interns from Yeshiva University, and what is the policy for parental notification and consent before an intern meets with a student?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Unvetted Counselors
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The board is voting on a revised policy for “Community Use of School Facilities,” but the policy text is not attached to the public agenda. This policy determines which outside groups can and cannot use school property and could be used to discriminate against certain viewpoints.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes. Parents need to know the rules for facility use are fair and not biased against community or faith-based groups.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Potential Viewpoint Discrimination

| Major Win (LEVEL 8) |
|
District Strengthens Student Data Privacy Protections
The board is adopting a revised policy on student data privacy that explicitly prohibits selling student information for marketing. It also requires a “Parents’ Bill of Rights for Data Privacy and Security” to be published and included in all vendor contracts.
How to Lock It In
SECURE THE WIN: Email the Board (contact info on district website) to thank them for adopting the revised Policy 5676. Publicly praising this move makes it harder to weaken these protections later and sets a great example for other districts.
