Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for UNION FREE SCHOOL DISTRICT OF THE TARRYTOWNS. We found 6 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
Middle School ‘Gay-Straight Alliance’ (GSA) Club Charter
The board is approving a ‘Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA)’ club for the Middle School, bundled in the consent agenda. These clubs often operate under policies that encourage secrecy from parents regarding a child’s gender identity or sexual orientation discussions.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Education (contact info on district website). ‘Pull Item 9.11 from the Consent Agenda for a separate vote. Parents have a right to know the policies governing GSA clubs, including whether parents will be notified of their child’s participation and the topics discussed.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Parental Exclusion

Heads Up: ‘Restorative Practices’ Coming to Next Agenda
The board has announced ‘Restorative Practices’ as a topic for the next meeting on September 10. This is an advance warning that the district is planning to implement a non-punitive discipline system that often replaces consequences with therapy-style talking circles, which can compromise classroom safety and order.
Recommended Action Plan
PREPARE FOR BATTLE: This is our chance to get ahead of a bad policy. Research ‘Restorative Practices’ and prepare public comments for the September 10 meeting. Email the Board now: ‘I am concerned about the upcoming discussion on Restorative Practices and its potential impact on school safety. I urge you to prioritize proven disciplinary methods that keep our children safe.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Classroom Safety & Discipline

Federal ‘Safe Streets’ Grant with Equity Strings Attached
The district is entering an agreement for a federal ‘Safe Streets for All’ grant. The attached memo confirms the program requires ‘Equity Considerations’ and ‘equity impact assessments,’ using federal funds to analyze the community through an ideological lens.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE HARD QUESTIONS: Email the Board of Education (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item 9.17, what specific ‘equity impact assessments’ will be performed on our community using this grant money, and who will conduct them? Taxpayer funds should not be used for social mapping.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $85,000 Local Share (Ideological Strings Attached)

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required for Personnel Agenda
Item 9.3 on the consent agenda approves a list of new hires and personnel changes. The document listing these individuals and their roles was not included in the public agenda packet, preventing parental review before the vote.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘Personnel Agenda August 27, 2026 .docx’ attached to Item 9.3 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive hires, such as DEI or SEL-focused positions.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Hires
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required for Special Ed Agreement
Item 9.6 approves an agreement to join the ‘Mid-Westchester Special Education Consortium.’ The actual agreement detailing the services, vendors, and methodologies involved was not included in the public agenda packet.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘2026-2027 Mid-Westchester Consortium Special Education Agreement.pdf’ attached to Item 9.6 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it commits the district to specific SEL or behavioral intervention programs.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Vendor Agreements
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 3) |
|
Mandatory Staff Training on ‘Mental Health’
The District Safety Plan, approved under item 9.19, mandates annual staff training on ‘violence prevention and mental health.’ While safety is important, ‘mental health’ is a common Trojan horse for introducing SEL and other psychological programming to staff and students.
Recommended Action Plan
Monitor: Ask the district for the specific curriculum and vendor used for the mandatory staff ‘mental health’ training. Track for future scope creep; no immediate action required.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Teacher Training Time
