Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Bellows Falls Union High School District #27. We found 5 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |
|
School Plan Relies on Student Data-Mining Vendor
The district’s proposed “Continuous Improvement Plan” (Item 7.b) uses “Panorama Survey” data to measure its success. Panorama Education is a controversial national vendor that collects sensitive social-emotional data from students, often without full parental knowledge of the survey questions. This shifts the school’s focus from academics to subjective emotional metrics and builds a data file on your child.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: The ‘Continuous Improvement Plan’ in Item 7.b is built on data from Panorama Education, a company that data-mines children’s social and emotional beliefs. Contact the Board before the Sept. 10th meeting (see the Official Agenda link for contact details): ‘Vote NO on the Continuous Improvement Plan until all ties to Panorama Education are severed and all survey questions are made public for parental review. Our children are not data points for an ideological agenda.’

Board Discussing School’s Future in Secret
The board is holding a closed-door “Executive Session” to discuss a “Consultant Feasible Study Report” (Item 8.b). While some executive sessions are legal for narrow reasons, using them to discuss the fundamental future of a school shields critical information about potential closures or mergers from public view and debate.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: The Board is discussing a consultant’s report on the school’s future in a closed-door ‘Executive Session’ (Item 8.b). Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact details): ‘What is the legal justification for holding the discussion on the Consultant Feasible Study Report in Executive Session? The future of our school must be debated in public.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Transparency

| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |

Principal Pushing “Community School” Model
The Principal’s report (under Item 6.b) states a focus on implementing “the four pillars of a community school.” This model often expands the school’s role beyond education into health and social services, creating programs that can operate without direct parental consent or oversight and positioning the school as the center of family life.
Recommended Action Plan
MONITOR & QUESTION: The Principal’s Report under item 6.b mentions implementing a ‘community school’ model. Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact details): ‘What specific health or social services are planned under the ‘community school’ model, and what are the policies for parental notification and consent for these services?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: School Overreach

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
Item 8.a is an “Act 170 and RSCA update” with no further explanation or attached documents. State-level acts can have significant local impact on curriculum, funding, or parental rights, but the substance of this update is being withheld from the public agenda.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes. If no file is attached, email the Board: ‘Regarding Item 8.a, please provide a public summary of Act 170 and RSCA and how they will impact our district’s policies and budget.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Unknown Legislative Impact

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The agenda lists an “EEI presentation with Eric Lafaytte” under New Business (Item 7.a) but provides no attachment or description of what “EEI” stands for. This lack of detail prevents parents from knowing if this presentation involves a new program, vendor, or ideological initiative.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes. If no file is attached, email the Board: ‘Regarding Item 7.a, what does the acronym “EEI” stand for, and what is the subject of Mr. Lafaytte’s presentation? Parents deserve to know what is being presented to the board.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Program
