Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Orange City. We found 6 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
“No Cost” Mental Health Services Contract Approved
The board approved a contract with Bellefaire SAY on August 24 to provide student mental health services at “no cost to the District.” This often means services are funded by grants with ideological strings or billed directly to insurance, creating a school-based clinic that can operate without direct parental involvement or consent for every session.
Recommended Action Plan
Email Superintendent Wendell Campbell at lcampbell@orangecsd.org: ‘Regarding the Bellefaire SAY contract approved on August 24, what specific services are being offered to students, and what is the exact parental notification and consent process before a child receives these services? We need a clear opt-in policy.’

District Staff Trained by ADL on “Systemic Bias”
The Superintendent’s report from the August 24 meeting (approved in these minutes) confirms all district staff received training from the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). The session focused on “recognizing systemic bias, microaggressions, and tropes,” replacing academic focus with political activism.
Recommended Action Plan
This training already occurred, but we must prevent it from becoming policy. Email Superintendent Wendell Campbell at lcampbell@orangecsd.org: ‘I am deeply concerned about the ADL training on systemic bias for staff. Please provide all training materials under a public records request and confirm the district will not contract with the ADL again.’

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |

District Paying Teachers Extra for MTSS Implementation
The August 24 personnel report shows the district is paying numerous teachers extra to be on the “District MTSS Team.” Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) is a framework often used to implement Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and behavioral interventions, collecting sensitive data on students without full parental transparency.
Recommended Action Plan
Email Superintendent Wendell Campbell at lcampbell@orangecsd.org: ‘Regarding the MTSS team stipends, what specific non-academic data is being collected on students through the MTSS framework, who has access to it, and what is the parental opt-out process?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Student Data Collection

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |

Vague $65k Contract for “Education Alternatives”
Item 9.A presents a $65,156.00 service agreement with a vendor named “Education Alternatives” for an autism program. The attachment containing the contract details was not included in the agenda packet, preventing public review of the terms and services.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘Education Alternatives Service Agreement.pdf’ attached to Item 9.A in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm the vendor’s background and the specific services being funded.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $65,156.00

| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |

Undisclosed Library Book Disposals
Item 13.A lists the disposal of library books from the Middle School (“MHS LIBRARY BOOK DISPOSAL 9.3.2026.pdf”). The document listing which specific books are being removed was not included in the agenda packet, preventing parental review.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘MHS LIBRARY BOOK DISPOSAL 9.3.2026.pdf’ attached to Item 13.A in the Official Agenda (linked above). We need to know which books are being removed from our children’s library and why.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Lack of Transparency
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Stipends for Identity-Based Student Clubs
The personnel recommendations in Item 14.A include paying staff stipends to advise identity-based student clubs like the “Asian Culture Club” and “Outstanding Minority Achievers (Stargirls).” These clubs can function as affinity groups that divide students by race and identity rather than uniting them.
Recommended Action Plan
Email Superintendent Wendell Campbell at lcampbell@orangecsd.org: ‘Regarding the stipends in Item 14.A, what is the purpose of the ‘Outstanding Minority Achievers’ club and what is the curriculum? School-sponsored clubs should focus on academics and unity, not dividing students by identity.’
