District-Wide Plan to Embed Ideology in Classrooms
Numerous School Comprehensive Education Plans (SCEPs) for 2026-27 reveal a coordinated, district-wide strategy to implement “Equity,” “Culturally Responsive Teaching,” “Social-Emotional Learning (SEL),” and “Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS).” This systematically shifts classroom focus from core academics to subjective social and emotional programming, often without specific parental consent for the content. The Pennington and Denzel Washington School of the Arts plans are especially explicit, with goals to “strengthen its SEL strategies” and provide “SEL instruction.”
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a district-wide strategy, not a single school. Email the Board (contact info on the district website): ‘I demand a full public presentation of all curriculum, teacher training materials, and costs associated with the SEL, Equity, and MTSS programs detailed in the 2026-27 SCEP documents. We will not accept a shift from academics to social engineering.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Academics Replaced by Activism

Superintendent Confirms School-Based Health Centers
The Superintendent’s report confirms the operation of school-based health centers at Williams and MVHS. These clinics can provide services to students without a parent being present, creating a significant loophole for bypassing parental consent and oversight on student health matters, including mental and emotional health services.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘What are the specific parental consent and notification policies for the school-based health centers at Williams and MVHS? Parents have a right to know about and be present for any health services provided to their minor children on school grounds.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Bypassing Parental Consent

District Hires “Parent Liaisons” for $55,000 Each
The district is executing multiple independent contractor agreements for “Parent Liaisons” at a cost of $55,000 each for the school year. Their duties include “culturally responsive outreach” and identifying students for McKinney-Vento (homeless) services, creating a new layer of administration to push district narratives and potentially gather information on families under the guise of support.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Please provide the funding source and measurable metrics for success for the $55,000 Parent Liaison contracts. Taxpayer money should fund academics, not create outreach positions with an ideological focus.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $55,000 per person

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |

New Job Role to Deploy Student “Data Dashboards”
A new “School Technology Links” job description includes deploying “data tools and dashboards” for staff. This signals an expansion of student data collection and surveillance, which can be used to track non-academic behaviors and build psychological profiles on students without full parental transparency or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding the ‘Data Dashboard Deployment,’ what specific non-academic student data points will be tracked, who will have access, and how can parents review their child’s complete data profile before this is implemented?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

Multiple Agenda Attachments Require Manual Review
Several key documents, including contracts for Hallen School, a Memorandum of Agreement with WJCS (Westchester Jewish Community Services), and other agreements were referenced in the agenda but their text could not be automatically extracted. These files must be manually opened from the official district agenda to check for hidden policy changes or controversial vendors.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open attachments 17, 23, 28, 29, 31, 33, 37, 38, 39, and 40 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm their contents. The titles suggest important contracts and agreements that parents must see before they are approved.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Terms

| Major Win (LEVEL 7) |

District Commits to “Science of Reading”
The Superintendent’s report highlights a “sharp focus on literacy” for the year, specifically mentioning “Science of Reading and Early Foundational Skills.” This is a significant positive step towards proven, evidence-based methods for teaching reading and represents a welcome return to core academics.
How to Lock It In
AMPLIFY THIS WIN: Email the Board or speak at the meeting to thank them for prioritizing proven literacy instruction with the ‘Science of Reading.’ Publicly supporting this focus on academics ensures it remains a district priority and provides a model for other districts to follow.
✅ Why It Matters: A Win for Academics
