Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for PUTNAM VALLEY CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT. We found 4 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.

🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8)

Using Your Tax Dollars to Lobby Against You

📅 August 25, 2026

Under the ‘Consent Agenda’ (Item E.8), the Board is appointing a dedicated liaison to the New York State School Boards Association (NYSSBA). This is a taxpayer-funded lobbying group that often works against parental rights legislation at the state level. This appointment formalizes the use of our district’s resources and influence for political activism that may directly undermine the parents of this community.

Recommended Action Plan

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Education. ‘I demand Item E.8 be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. Parents deserve to know what legislative positions NYSSBA has taken that could impact our rights. We should not be funding lobbyists that work against us.’ You can find Board contact information on the district website.

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Taxpayer-funded membership dues to NYSSBA/WPSBA.

⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6)

Undisclosed ‘Mental Health’ Assembly for High Schoolers

📅 August 25, 2026

Hidden in the mass-approval ‘Consent Agenda’ (Item E.10) is a contract with the ‘JCK Foundation’ for high school assembly programs. These types of ‘wellness’ and ‘mental health’ presentations can be a Trojan horse for introducing sensitive Social Emotional Learning (SEL) topics and conducting student surveys without parental review or consent. We have no information on what will be taught to our children.

Recommended Action Plan

OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the Board of Education. ‘Regarding the JCK Foundation contract in Item E.10, I demand to review all presentation materials and student handouts before this assembly is approved. Please confirm that parents will be given an explicit opt-out form for this non-academic programming.’ You can find Board contact information on the district website.

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed contract value.

👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5)

New ‘Safety Plan’ May Hide Student Surveillance

📅 August 25, 2026

The Board is voting to adopt the 2026-27 District-Wide Safety Plan (Item G.9). While physical safety is paramount, these plans are increasingly used to implement ‘behavioral threat assessment’ teams and data-tracking systems (like MTSS) that monitor student behavior. This can lead to children being labeled and subjected to interventions without full parental knowledge or consent, all under the banner of ‘safety.’

Recommended Action Plan

INVESTIGATE: The plan is available on the district website (www.pvcsd.org). Review the file attached in the Official Agenda linked above for keywords like ‘threat assessment,’ ‘behavioral intervention,’ ‘MTSS,’ or ‘mental health.’ Email the Board: ‘Before you vote on the Safety Plan, please clarify the specific role parents have in any ‘threat assessment’ process.’

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Potential for future contracts with behavioral intervention or data-mining companies.

ALERT (LEVEL 4)

Hiding the Money with a Blank Contract

📅 August 25, 2026

The Board is scheduled to approve a contract for the district’s food service management company (Item G.8), but the name of the vendor has been left blank in the public agenda. This is a basic failure of transparency. Parents have a right to know who the district is doing business with and how our money is being spent before a vote is taken.

Recommended Action Plan

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Education. ‘Item G.8 is a vote on a contract with a blank vendor name. This is unacceptable. Please table this vote until the vendor’s name and the full contract details are made public for parental review.’ You can find Board contact information on the district website.

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed contract value.
