📄 View Official Agenda
Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Rochester Public School District. We found 4 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9)
District Accepts $2.5M Federal Grant with SEL & Data-Mining Strings
📅 Scheduled Action
The board is set to approve a $2.5 million federal grant for after-school programs that focus on ‘Interpersonal Skills & Mindset’ (i.e., Social Emotional Learning). The grant, hidden on the consent agenda, requires extensive data collection on students, including a ‘Youth Experience Survey,’ which will be reported back to the federal government.
Recommended Action Plan

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: This is Consent Agenda Item 5.1. Contact the School Board immediately (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Pull Item 5.1 from the Consent Agenda for a full discussion and roll-call vote. Parents have a right to know what data on our children will be sent to the federal government and what SEL curriculum this money will fund.’

💰 Taxpayer Impact: $2.5M (Federal Strings Attached)
HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8)
Board Hides Public Comment from Live Stream and Recordings
📅 Scheduled Action
The district’s official policy is to prevent public comments from being live-streamed or recorded. This deliberately hides parent concerns from the wider community, silences dissent, and ensures the board controls the public narrative of its meetings.
Recommended Action Plan

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the School Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info). ‘I demand that “Comments to the Board” be live-streamed and recorded as part of the official meeting video. Hiding public input from the community is an unacceptable violation of transparency.’

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Parental Voices Silenced
ALERT (LEVEL 4)
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
📅 Scheduled Action
The board is approving a $176,143 payment to a travel company on the consent agenda. The attachment containing the actual invoice was not provided in the board packet, preventing public review of the details before the vote.
Recommended Action Plan

INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached to Item 5.2 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm the details of this large payment. Ensure there are no unusual terms or conditions.

💰 Taxpayer Impact: $176,143.00
ALERT (LEVEL 2)
Meeting Opens with Ideological Land Acknowledgment
📅 Scheduled Action
The board meeting begins with a ‘land acknowledgment,’ a political ritual that promotes a specific, divisive view of history. This signals the board’s focus on ideological agendas over academic priorities.
Recommended Action Plan

Monitor: This is a low-level ideological signal. Note the board’s priorities and watch for this language to appear in curriculum.

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Focus on Ideology
