Heads up! We have scanned the upcoming agenda for South Kingstown. We found 7 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
Secret Teacher Training Day
Item 7.C is an ‘update’ on the recent district-wide Professional Development day, but provides no information on the topics, speakers, or materials used. These training days are often used to introduce controversial ideologies like DEI, SEL, or ‘anti-racism’ to teachers without parental oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: Use public comment to ask about Item 7.C: ‘Who were the trainers for the 9/9/26 Professional Development day, how much were they paid, and can the public see all training materials presented to our teachers?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Hidden Classroom Agendas
|
| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
Vote on Secret Budget Amendments
Under Item 7.G, the Board will vote on a ‘REVISED General Fund Budget’ without providing the public with the actual amendment documents. This prevents parents and taxpayers from seeing what is being cut or added, potentially funding ideological programs while hiding the details.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a major transparency failure. Use public comment to demand the Board table the vote on Item 7.G until the full text of all budget amendments is posted publicly. We have a right to see where our money is going.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Taxpayer Dollars
|
| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Vote on Superintendent Contract with No Public Document
The Board is scheduled to vote on renewing the Superintendent’s contract under Item 7.B, but the proposed contract itself has not been made public. Parents have a right to see the terms, salary, and performance clauses before the Board commits taxpayer dollars.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the School Committee (see the Official Agenda link for contact info) and demand that the vote on Item 7.B be postponed until the full proposed contract is posted for public review for at least 48 hours.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Contract Terms
|
| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
District Discussing ‘Data Based Decisions’ Goal
Item 7.J is a discussion on ‘Making Data Based Decisions.’ This is often code for implementing student surveillance systems, data dashboards, and social-emotional tracking software that collect sensitive information on children and families without full parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE HARD QUESTIONS: During public comment for Item 7.J, ask: ‘What specific student data will be collected under this goal? Which third-party vendors will have access to it? What is the explicit opt-out process for parents?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Privacy
|
| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Vote on 5-Year Capital Plan Without Public Documents
The Board plans to vote on a 5-year Capital Improvement Plan under Item 7.F, but the memo detailing the projects is missing from the agenda. These large-scale plans can hide funding for controversial facilities or divert money from academic priorities.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND DELAY: Contact the School Committee (see the Official Agenda link) and insist they delay the vote on Item 7.F until the full ‘FY 2027 Capital Improvement Projects’ memo is made available for public review.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Hidden Spending Priorities
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
Item 7.D is a vote to award a contract related to ‘My School Bucks Service Fee’ for the school lunch program. The memo explaining the contract and any data privacy implications was not included in the public packet.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘Memo – School Lunch Merchant Fees for Electronic Bill Paying.pdf’ attached to Item 7.D in the Official Agenda (linked above) to check the vendor’s data and privacy policies.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Student Data Privacy

District Approves Homeschooling for 13 Students

How to Lock It In
ATTEND & AMPLIFY: Show up to thank the Board for approving homeschool requests under Item 5.D. This sets a positive precedent for parental rights in our district and across the state.
