Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Neenah Joint School District. We found 6 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
District Creates ‘Threat Assessment’ Teams to Investigate Students
New Policy 8410 establishes building-level ‘Threat Assessment Teams’ to identify, assess, and manage students who show ‘warning signs’ or ‘concerning behaviors.’ The policy is vague on when parents must be notified, creating a system where a team of school staff can investigate your child’s mental state without your knowledge or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM (VIRTUAL): This is a major overreach. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link for details) and demand to speak at the Open Forum. Email the Board: ‘I do not co-parent with the school. Policy 8410 must be amended to require immediate parental notification and consent before any threat assessment of a minor child begins. Vote NO.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Bypassing Parental Consent

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Gender Ideology Embedded in School Lunch Policies
Four new and revised food service policies (8500.01, 8500, 8531, 8550) use mandatory USDA non-discrimination statements to formally adopt ‘gender identity’ and ‘sexual orientation’ as protected classes in the district. This is a classic Trojan horse, using federal food programs to normalize contested gender ideology and embed it into official district policy.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link for details). Ask the Board: ‘Why are we using school lunch regulations to codify controversial gender ideology into district policy? Please explain how this is relevant to food service and what training staff will receive on these new protected classes.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Ideological Indoctrination

| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
New Policy Could Prohibit Recording in Classrooms
New Policy 5136.01 on personal electronic devices prohibits students from recording any person without ‘express prior notice and explicit consent.’ While framed as a privacy measure, this could be used to punish students who try to document inappropriate classroom instruction or bullying, effectively chilling speech and preventing parents from seeing what’s really happening at school.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE HARD QUESTIONS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link for details). Email the Board: ‘Regarding Policy 5136.01, will this rule be used to discipline a student who records a teacher promoting political ideology or a bullying incident? Parents have a right to know what happens in the classroom.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Chilling Student Speech

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Federal Grant Policy Opens Door to Socially-Driven Spending
Revised Policy 6325 on federal grants adopts procurement language that includes preferences for ‘minority business’ and ‘women’s business enterprises.’ It also allows for scoring vendors based on ‘worker protections.’ This shows how federal money comes with ideological strings, pushing the district to make financial decisions based on social agendas rather than the best value for taxpayers.
Recommended Action Plan
MONITOR THE MONEY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link for details). Ask: ‘Regarding Policy 6325, what specific metrics will be used to score vendors, and how will the Board ensure that all contracts represent the best value for Neenah taxpayers, not just compliance with federal social priorities?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Federal Strings Attached
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 3) |
|
Health Services Policy Creates Pathway for Future Screenings
Policy 5310 on Health Services, while currently focused on physical exams, establishes the framework for district-wide student screenings. Policies like this are often expanded later to include controversial mental health or behavioral screenings without adequate public debate. This policy needs to be watched closely for any future changes.
Recommended Action Plan
MONITOR: Track this policy for any future revisions that attempt to add ‘mental health’ or ‘wellness’ screenings. No immediate action is required, but be prepared to act if the scope expands.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

✅ Wins to Defend
Good moves worth showing up to support so they stick.

| Win (LEVEL 4) |
|
WIN: District Formalizes Parental Right to Record IEP Meetings
New Policy 2461 creates a formal process for parents to record Individualized Education Program (IEP) meetings for their children. This is a significant win for transparency and for parents of special needs students, as it protects their right to have an accurate record to ensure the district is meeting their child’s needs.
How to Lock It In
AMPLIFY THIS WIN: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link for details) to thank the Policy Committee for codifying this right in Policy 2461. This creates a strong precedent for parental rights in special education that can be shared with other districts.
