πŸ“ Drive to Somers School District Office   πŸ“… Monday, September 14, 2026 to Calendar
πŸ“„ View Official Agenda
Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Somers School District. We found 3 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8)
New Policy on ‘Grants’ Could Open Door to Federal Overreach
πŸ“… Scheduled Action
The Board is introducing a new policy to govern how it accepts grants and bequests. Federal grants often come with mandates for specific DEI/SEL curricula or invasive student data collection, bypassing local control and parental oversight.
Recommended Action Plan

INVESTIGATE: The text for the proposed ‘Grants and Bequests’ policy (Item 10.1) was not included in the agenda. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and demand the full text of ‘DBS Code 3280’ be made public immediately. We need to know if this policy includes protections against grants with ideological strings attached.

πŸ’° Taxpayer Impact: Loss of Local Control
NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7)
Vague Warrant on Consent Agenda β€” Manual Review Required
πŸ“… Scheduled Action
The Board is set to approve a list of payments (warrant) as part of a bundled “Consent Agenda” vote, which discourages discussion. This is a common way to approve spending on controversial vendors or programs without public scrutiny.
Recommended Action Plan

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and demand that the full vendor list for the ‘Warrant of September 14, 2026’ (Item 8.1) be posted publicly before the vote. Bundling payments without review is unacceptable.

πŸ’° Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Spending
NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6)
New Policy on Board Meeting Minutes β€” Manual Review Required
πŸ“… Scheduled Action
The Board is considering a new policy that dictates how official meeting minutes are recorded and maintained. Changes to this policy could reduce the level of detail recorded, making it harder for parents to hold the board accountable for its decisions and discussions.
Recommended Action Plan

INVESTIGATE: The text for the proposed ‘Minutes’ policy (Item 10.2) was not included in the agenda. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and request the full text of ‘DBS Code 9326.1’. Parents have a right to know if this policy change will make it harder to track the Board’s actions.

πŸ’° Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Board Accountability
