Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for South Kingstown. We found 5 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Gender Identity Language in Official Documents
A memo on the Capital Improvement Plan includes a non-discrimination statement that explicitly lists ‘gender identity’ and ‘sexual orientation’ as protected classes. This language is not neutral; it signals the district’s official adoption of gender ideology, which is the first step toward policies on pronouns, bathrooms, and sports that bypass parents.
Recommended Action Plan
PUT THEM ON THE RECORD: Email the School Committee (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the policy statement in the attachment for Item 7.E, what specific district policies does this refer to? Parents must be notified and consent before any policy based on gender identity is applied to their child.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Parental Rights

SEL-Aligned ‘Creative Curriculum’ for Pre-K
The district is spending $18,016 on ‘Creative Curriculum’ for Pre-K students, hidden in a large list of purchase orders. This curriculum is known for embedding Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and ‘whole child’ concepts into early education, often at the expense of core academics.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the School Committee (contact info on district website): ‘I demand Item 5.C, specifically the $18,016 purchase for UTJ HOLDCO INC (Creative Curriculum), be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and vote. Parents have a right to know what social agendas are being taught to our youngest learners.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $18,016

New Student Data Management System
The district is paying $12,892 for a ‘Student Management’ system from Skyward. These systems can be used to track non-academic data on students, including behavior and ‘social-emotional’ metrics, without clear parental oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Email the School Committee (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the Skyward purchase in Item 5.C, what specific student data points will be tracked in this system beyond grades and attendance? How can parents review and control their child’s data profile?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Data

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The agenda lists multiple resignations and new appointments for ‘Social Worker’ positions. While this could be routine, a significant increase in social workers can be a vector for school-based mental health services that operate outside of parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘Personnel Actions – Non-Exempt_At Will Employee Updates.pdf’ attached to Item 6.A in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm the number of positions and any associated program changes.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Parental Consent

District Approves 26 Homeschool Requests
The board is set to approve homeschooling plans for 26 students. This is a positive sign that the district is respecting the fundamental right of parents to direct the education of their children.
How to Lock It In
AMPLIFY THE WIN: Show up to the meeting to thank the board during public comment for approving these homeschool requests. This reinforces that respecting parental choice is a community priority and makes it harder to deny future requests.
