District Safety Plan May Include Emotional Surveillance
The board is approving the 2026-2027 District-Wide Safety Plan. While the attached document is difficult to read, it appears to expand the definition of ‘safety’ to include students’ emotional and social well-being, a common entry point for implementing Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and student monitoring without parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
Email the Board of Education (see district website for contacts): ‘Regarding Item 5.2, the District-Wide Safety Plan, what specific programs, curricula, or student assessments will be used to ensure ’emotional and social safety’? Parents must have the right to review all materials and opt their children out of any psychological screenings or SEL-related data collection.’

New Budget Policies Introduced Without Public Text
The board is holding a ‘First Reading’ for two new financial policies: #5140 Administration of the Budget and #5150 Contingency Budget. The actual text of these policies was not included in the public agenda packet, preventing parents from reviewing them before the meeting.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the files attached to Item 5.1 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether they contain sensitive policy changes. If the text is missing, email the Board: ‘Please table the vote on policies 5140 and 5150 until the full text is made public for parental review well in advance of the meeting.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Transparency

District Adopts ‘Emotionally Safe’ Mission Statement
Under ‘MCSD Commitments,’ the district lists ‘Ensuring an environment that is physically, emotionally and socially safe’ as a core goal. This language is a well-known euphemism for ‘Whole Child’ and Social Emotional Learning (SEL) ideologies, shifting the school’s focus from academics to students’ emotions and social attitudes.
Recommended Action Plan
Monitor: This language confirms the district’s ideological direction. Use this phrasing when questioning other policies (like the Safety Plan) to show you are paying attention. No immediate action required, but track for future policy changes that cite this commitment.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Shift from Academics

Vague Gift Proposals — Manual Review Required
The board is accepting two donations: $607.85 from Cornell Cooperative Extension (Item 5.5) and $12,500 from Onondaga County (Item 5.6). The gift proposals detailing any potential strings or requirements attached to the money were not included in the public agenda packet.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the files attached to Items 5.5 and 5.6 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether the donations come with ideological strings attached. While these donors are not high-risk, it’s a matter of good financial oversight.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Conditions
