Board to Cede Control Over Student Data Privacy Pacts
The board is voting to let a multi-district group called “RIC One ROC” negotiate all student data privacy agreements with software vendors. While framed as efficiency, this removes local oversight and could lead to rubber-stamping contracts that share sensitive student information without direct parental review.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND OVERSIGHT: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) before the meeting. Ask the Board: ‘Under Item 5.10, what is the process for parents to review and object to a data privacy agreement negotiated by this outside group before the district signs it?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Loss of Local Oversight

Activist Groups Tapped for Undisclosed Consulting
The board plans to hire several consultants with ideological ties, including the “M.K. Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence” and the “Urban League of Rochester,” under the vague heading of “District Supports.” The contracts detailing the cost and scope of work are attached to the agenda but were not made public in an accessible format, preventing parental review.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘20260813 BOE Consultants – Office of District Supports.pdf’ attached to Item 5.11 in the Official Agenda. Demand the Board pull these contracts from the Consent Agenda and explain exactly what services these activist groups will be providing to students and staff, and for how much.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed

District to Spend $30,000 on “Cultural Assessment”
The district plans to hire ABI Road Education Planning for a $30,000 “Educational Environment Cultural Assessment.” This involves staff focus groups and surveys to analyze the district’s “culture,” which is often a first step toward implementing controversial DEI or “anti-racism” initiatives.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and demand Item 5.11 (ABI Road contract) be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion. Ask the board: ‘What specific problem is this $30,000 “Cultural Assessment” trying to solve, and will parents have full access to the survey questions and final report?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $30,000

SEL-Linked Vendor “Solution Tree” Contract Hidden
The district is hiring “Solution Tree,” a vendor known for promoting frameworks like MTSS and “Professional Learning Communities” which are often used to implement Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and student data tracking. The contract details are in an attachment that was not made public in an accessible format, preventing review of the cost and services.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘20260813 BOE Consultants – Office of L&SI.pdf’ attached to Item 5.11 in the Official Agenda. Email the District Office: ‘What specific services will Solution Tree provide? We oppose any contract that uses MTSS or PLCs as a vehicle for SEL curriculum or data mining students.’

“Coordinated Care” Vendor Hired, Services Unclear
The district is hiring “Coordinated Care Services, Inc. (CCSI)” for two separate consultant roles. This name suggests a link to student mental or social services, which can sometimes operate in schools without direct parental consent or involvement. The contract details are not publicly accessible for review.
Recommended Action Plan
VERIFY THIS VENDOR: Open the files for Item 5.11 in the Official Agenda. Contact the District Office: ‘Regarding the contracts with Coordinated Care Services, Inc., will they be providing any direct services to students? If so, what is the explicit parental consent process for these services?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed

Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND DETAILS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) regarding Item 6.03. Ask: ‘Please provide the full Memorandum of Agreement regarding Lead Crisis Interveners. What are their duties and what training do they receive?’
