Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for SPRINGS UNION FREE SCHOOL DISTRICT. We found 4 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
District Hires “Behavioral Strategies” Consultant
The board is approving a contract with “Behavioral Strategies L.I., LLC” to provide services like “Home Based Behavior Intervention,” “Parent Counseling & Training,” and “Behavioral Counseling.” This vendor uses therapeutic techniques to address student behavior and family dynamics at home, a potential overreach into parental authority and a vehicle for social-emotional engineering outside the academic curriculum.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: This contract is on the Consent Agenda, hiding a major policy decision. Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘I demand Item 4.10 be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and vote. Who decides which students receive these behavioral interventions, and what are the specific parental consent and opt-out procedures before any ‘Parent Counseling’ or ‘Home Based’ services begin?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
“Threat Assessment Teams” Created in New Safety Plan
The new Districtwide Safety Plan establishes “multidisciplinary Threat Assessment Teams” to “evaluate threats” and engage in “early detection of potentially dangerous behavior.” These teams can create a system of student surveillance, potentially labeling children based on subjective criteria without full parental notification or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE HARD QUESTIONS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding the Safety Plan in Item 5.6, what are the specific criteria for a student to be reviewed by a Threat Assessment Team? What are the parental notification and consent rights during this process? We must have clear policies that protect students from being unfairly labeled.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Special Ed Contract for Behavioral Services
The district is contracting with Little Angels Center for special education services, including “Applied Behavior Analysis” and “Parent Training/Counseling.” While for special education, these services are part of a broader trend of schools intervening in student and family behavior using therapeutic models.
Recommended Action Plan
Monitor: Parents of children with IEPs should carefully review any proposed services from this vendor to ensure they are strictly academic and developmental, not ideological. Ask for clear, measurable goals and retain your right to refuse any service.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 3) |
|
“Health and Wellness” Committee Appointments
The Board is appointing members to its committees for the year, including a “Health and Wellness” committee. These committees are often where controversial policies like SEL, mental health screenings, or school-based clinics are developed before being brought to the full board.
Recommended Action Plan
Monitor: Identify who is appointed to the Health and Wellness committee. Track their meeting agendas and minutes to ensure their work remains focused on genuine health issues, not ideological programs.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Future Policy Overreach
