Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for WILLIAM FLOYD UNION FREE SCHOOL DISTRICT. We found 10 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |
|
District Adopting School-Wide Behavioral & Emotional Intervention Plan
The board is voting to approve a district-wide “Multi-Tiered Systems of Support” (MTSS) plan. This framework creates a system for screening all students and assigning them to interventions for academic, behavioral, and ‘social-emotional needs’ without requiring specific parental consent for each step.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a foundational policy for implementing SEL and student surveillance. Email the Board of Education (contact info on district website): ‘I do not consent to my child being subjected to psychological or social-emotional screening and intervention without my express written consent. Vote NO on Item 8.30, the MTSS Plan.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Privacy & Autonomy

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
High School Course Titled ‘Rainbows of Voices’
The district is approving a dual enrollment partnership with St. Joseph’s University for two English courses, one of which is titled ‘English 119 Rainbows of Voices.’ This title strongly suggests the course will focus on ideologically-driven content related to gender and sexuality, bringing a college-level political agenda into the high school classroom.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a direct pipeline for ideological curriculum. Sign up for public comment. Email the Board of Education (contact info on district website): ‘Parents send their children to school for education, not indoctrination. Vote NO on the St. Joseph’s agreement, Item 8.23, or at a minimum, demand a full public review of the ‘Rainbows of Voices’ syllabus before any vote.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Replacing Academics with Activism

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |

Federal Grant Mandates Race-Based Discipline Intervention
The district is accepting federal IDEA grant money that comes with strings attached. The grant description confirms the district was flagged for ‘significant disproportionality’ in suspending Black students and must now spend funds on ‘Coordinated, Early Intervening Services’ (CCEIS) to address it. This is a federally-mandated equity initiative that forces the district to analyze and manage student discipline through the lens of race.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Superintendent and Board of Education (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item 8.16, what specific changes to our discipline policies are required by the CCEIS mandate? Parents will not accept race-based discipline or the lowering of standards for student behavior.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Federal Strings Attached

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Contract for Pre-K Social-Emotional Assessment Software
The district is approving a contract with ‘Teaching Strategies’ for their ‘GOLD Online Assessment Portfolios’ software. This is a well-known system used in early childhood education to track detailed developmental data on young children, including their social-emotional skills, and build a permanent digital record.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Superintendent (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item 8.11, what specific social-emotional metrics will be tracked by the GOLD software, who has access to this data, and what is the parental opt-out process? We do not consent to the psychological profiling of our youngest children.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $8,475.00

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
AI Writing Tool To ‘Adjust Tone’ of Student Work
The district is approving a service agreement for Grammarly, an AI-powered writing assistant. The description states the tool helps students by ‘adjusting tone,’ which is a potential vector for ideological bias to be injected into student writing, shaping their expression to fit a preferred narrative. This also raises significant student data privacy concerns, as the AI will process everything students write.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the Board of Education (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item 8.10, who defines the ‘correct’ tone in the Grammarly AI? Parents must have the right to opt their children out of AI-based tools that can influence their writing and collect their data. Please confirm the opt-out process before this vote.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Student Expression & Data

Contract for Financial App That Collects Student Data
The district is contracting with ‘Goalsetter,’ a financial literacy platform, for high school students. The agreement confirms the service will collect student data including names, grade level, student ID, and email addresses to create personalized accounts. This introduces another third-party vendor collecting sensitive student information under the guise of ‘financial wellness.’
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the Director of Special Education ( mawalker@wfsd.k12.ny.us): ‘Regarding Item 8.24, I do not consent to my child’s personal information being shared with Goalsetter or any third-party financial app. Please provide the specific parental opt-out form before this contract is approved.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $7,500

| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
University Social Work Interns Placed in Schools
The board is approving an agreement to allow social work students from Binghamton University to get ‘practical experience’ in the district. This creates a pipeline for university-level social work ideology, which is often highly politicized, to be introduced directly to our schools and students through interns.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Email the Board of Education (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item 8.5, what specific activities will social work interns be engaged in with students, and what oversight will parents have? We must ensure these interns are not promoting political agendas or conducting sessions with students without parental consent.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: External Ideological Influence

| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |

Policy Positions School to ‘Train’ Parents on Mental Health
The new ‘Parent/Family Engagement Policy’ states the district will provide training to help parents understand ‘age-appropriate mental health benchmarks’ and the risks of AI. This language positions the school as the authority on these sensitive topics, creating a pathway to promote district-approved ideologies to parents and undermine their own judgment.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Email the Board of Education (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item 8.28, parents are the primary authority on their children’s mental and emotional wellbeing. The district’s role is to partner with us, not to ‘train’ us according to its preferred psychological frameworks. Please revise this policy to reflect a partnership model.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undermining Parental Authority

| ALERT (LEVEL 2) |

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
Item 8.8, an ‘Affiliation Agreement’ with Strong’s Marine, references an attachment that was not included in the provided agenda documents. The nature of this agreement cannot be verified without reviewing the file.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘Strong’s Marine Affiliation Agreement’ attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed

District Sues Big Tech Over Youth Mental Health Crisis
