Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for RED HOOK CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT. We found 5 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |
|
Social-Emotional Learning Mandated in New ‘Wellness’ Policy
The board is set for a final vote on Policy 5661, a “Wellness” policy that explicitly requires teachers to incorporate “evidence-based Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)” into the classroom. The policy also mandates staff training in “trauma-informed practices” and “culturally responsive approaches,” embedding ideological concepts into school-wide health and wellness standards.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a final vote. Email the Board at boardofeducation@rhcsd.org and sign up for public comment. ‘Vote NO on Policy 5661. Wellness should be about nutrition and exercise, not ideological SEL programming in the classroom.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Academics Replaced by SEL

New Attendance Policy Threatens Families with Court Action
The board is reviewing revised Policy 7111, which allows the district to refer students with excessive absences to the county Probation Department and Family Court for a “person in need of supervision (PINS)” petition. This policy creates a pathway for the school to initiate legal action against families over attendance issues.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND REVISIONS: This is a first read. Email the Board at boardofeducation@rhcsd.org: ‘Remove the threat of PINS petitions from Policy 7111. The school’s role is to partner with parents on attendance, not threaten them with court action.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Legal Threats to Families

District Cedes Control Over Student Data Privacy to External Group
Item H.16 authorizes an external consortium (RIC ONE ROC) and its lawyers to negotiate all data privacy agreements for the district. This outsources critical oversight of your child’s Personally Identifiable Information (PII) to an unelected body, reducing local control and transparency.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board at boardofeducation@rhcsd.org: ‘Pull Item H.16 from the Consent Agenda for a full discussion. Who are the ROC attorneys, and what are their data privacy standards? Parents deserve local control over student data.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

Vague University Agreement on Consent Agenda
Item H.4 on the consent agenda approves an unspecified agreement with Marist University for the entire school year. The attached document could not be read, leaving parents in the dark about the purpose, cost, and scope of this partnership.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘scan_klukach_2026-07-07-07-37-38.pdf’ attached to Item H.4 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes. Demand the board pull this from the consent agenda until the details are made public.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed

Taxpayer-Funded ‘Gay/Straight Alliance’ Club in Middle School
The personnel agenda includes a $1,786 stipend for a “Gay/Straight Alliance Club” advisor at the middle school (LAMS). Parents should be aware of these clubs operating with school sanction and funding, and have the right to know what is being discussed with their middle-school-aged children.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK FOR OVERSIGHT: Email the Board at boardofeducation@rhcsd.org: ‘Regarding the LAMS GSA club in Item I.2, what curriculum or materials are used, and what is the policy for parental notification and review of club content?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $1,786 Stipend
