Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Southington School District. We found 3 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8)
District Adopting “Restorative Practices” for Discipline
📅 Scheduled Action
The August 13 meeting minutes reveal the Assistant Superintendent is bringing in outside consultants to train all administrators in “restorative practice” and the behavioral theories of Dr. Ross Greene. These programs often replace consequences for misbehavior with therapeutic interventions, undermining classroom discipline and parental authority.
Recommended Action Plan

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask the Superintendent: ‘What is the total cost for the “Restorative Practice” and Dr. Ross Greene trainings mentioned in the August 13 minutes? Will parents be allowed to review all training materials before they are presented to teachers?’

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undermining Classroom Discipline
⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6)
Mental Health Apps on Student Phones in Class
📅 Scheduled Action
A discussion in the August 13 minutes revealed the new cell phone policy allows exceptions for students to use phone apps for “mental health” during school hours. This creates a backdoor for student data collection and school-based mental health interventions without direct, real-time parental oversight.
Recommended Action Plan

DEMAND ANSWERS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask: ‘Regarding the cell phone policy exceptions for mental health apps, what is the list of approved apps? Who has access to the data these apps collect on students, and what is the specific parental notification and consent process before a student is approved for this exception?’

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Privacy
✅ Wins to Defend
Good moves worth showing up to support so they stick.
Win (LEVEL 5)
Board Member Questions Tech Overuse, Praises Books
📅 Scheduled Action
In the August 13 meeting minutes, Board Member Mr. Brown highlighted that some successful school systems are returning to traditional books and writing over excessive technology. He correctly urged the district to re-examine its priorities to find the best way to educate students, opening the door for a return to foundational academics.
How to Lock It In

AMPLIFY THIS WIN: Email the Board of Education (contact info on district website) to thank Mr. Brown for his comments on technology vs. traditional learning in the August 13 meeting. Ask the full board to schedule a formal presentation on the academic impact of reducing screen time and re-emphasizing foundational skills.

✅ Why It Matters: Focus on Core Academics
