Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for IROQUOIS CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT. We found 6 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Major Policy Changes Hidden in Single Vote
The board is pushing through a first reading of seven different policies, including sensitive student data privacy and technology use rules, by bundling them into the “Consent Agenda” (Item 17.02). This tactic is used to pass significant changes with minimal discussion and no individual roll-call votes.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘I demand Item 17.02 be pulled from the Consent Agenda. Each policy deserves a separate public discussion and a roll-call vote.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Board Oversight

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
New Student Data Sharing and Privacy Policy
Policy #5676 creates the rules for sharing your child’s private data with third-party vendors and through “clickwrap agreements” for software. This 14-page policy, hidden on the consent agenda, requires careful review to understand who gets your child’s information and for what purpose.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Policy #5676, parents need a plain-English summary of the “Parents’ Bill of Rights” and a clear list of all third-party vendors who will receive student data before this is approved.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Public Comment Severely Limited
The board limits total public comment time to only 15 minutes for the entire meeting, with a three-minute maximum per speaker (Item 2.01). This policy effectively silences parents by preventing meaningful feedback on important issues before the board.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TO BE HEARD: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘The 15-minute total limit on public comment is unacceptable. We demand the board expand public comment time to ensure all parents who wish to speak are heard.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Voice

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Social-Emotional Learning in Tech Policy
The new student Acceptable Use Policy (#7315) requires students to be “Inclusive: open to hearing and recognizing multiple viewpoints and engaging others online with respect and empathy.” This embeds subjective social-emotional “digital citizenship” requirements into what should be a straightforward technology rulebook.
Recommended Action Plan
Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Policy #7315, technology rules should focus on safety and security, not subjective emotional competencies. Remove the SEL language and focus on academic use.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Replacing Tech Rules with SEL

| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
New “Civic Readiness” Program Advisors Hired
The board is appointing three paid advisors for a “Seal of Civic Readiness” program (Item 16.07). This is often a euphemism for political activism and “global citizenship” programs that replace traditional civics with ideological agendas.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item 16.07, please provide the full curriculum and all associated materials for the “Seal of Civic Readiness” program before any staff are appointed.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $3,440.01

New Policy on Student Directory Information
Under Item 17.02, the board is voting on Policy #7241, which defines what parts of your child’s personal information can be released as “directory information” to outside groups. Parents need to know exactly what is being shared and how to opt-out before this is approved.
Recommended Action Plan
Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Policy #7241, I demand a clear opt-out form be provided to all parents immediately. The default should be to protect student privacy, not release it.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Information
