Who’s Watching the Schools? Taxpayer-Funded Mental Health Programs with No Public Accountability

Your local school taxes — along with state and federal “mental health” dollars — are being used to “mentally educate” your children. Yet parents and taxpayers have no idea what’s actually being taught.

For more than two years, the Nassau County School District has blocked public access to the content of its mental health curriculum, Ripple Effects, despite two separate court orders demanding transparency. If taxpayer money is funding these programs, the public has every right to see what’s inside.

It’s time to DOGE our school systems — to Defend Our Government Efficiency where it matters most. School districts are receiving millions in mental health funding from state and federal sources, yet there’s zero accountability for what that money is producing or what messages are being delivered to children in the name of “well-being.”

Parents deserve transparency. Taxpayers deserve oversight.
And school administrators and teachers must remember: you’re not the parent — you’re there to teach, not to indoctrinate.

Reconsideration of the Westside Regional Park Investment

Petition to the Nassau County Board of County Commissioners

Subject: Reconsideration of the Westside Regional Park Investment

 

Dear Commissioners,

 

We, the undersigned residents of Nassau County, respectfully submit this petition regarding the allocation of public funds toward the development of the Westside Regional Park.

 

It would surprise many to learn that 82.7% of all Nassau County Ad Valorem taxes are paid by properties located east of Interstate 95. Yet, the County has programmed $22.86 million into the Westside Regional Park, located 20 miles west of Interstate 95 — a location largely inaccessible to the majority of residents who are funding it.

 

This project spans over 100 acres with an estimated construction cost of $21 million. Although the land was purchased in 2007 for $1.09 million, it has taken 17 years to bring forward a plan, raising additional concerns about the project's long-term viability and true priority.

 

Over 67% of Nassau County’s population lives in the easternmost zip codes of 32034 and 32097, areas where residents would have to travel up to 35 miles to access the park. Research shows that individuals living more than 10 miles away from a park are unlikely to use it regularly, if at all.

 

In short: the taxpayers bearing the largest burden for this project are the least likely to benefit from it.

 

Given these facts, we have serious concerns about whether the Westside Regional Park is the most responsible and equitable use of taxpayer dollars.

We respectfully request the following:

  • A full public reassessment of the Westside Regional Park's location, accessibility, and return on investment.
  • Consideration of alternative investments in parks and recreation facilities that are more geographically equitable and accessible to the majority of Nassau County taxpayers.
  • Greater transparency and opportunity for public input regarding major capital projects moving forward.

We urge you to pause further expenditures on this project until a thorough and transparent review is conducted.

 

It is time for Nassau County to ensure that public funds are invested fairly, wisely, and in ways that serve the entire community — not just a select portion of it.

 

Thank you for your attention to this important matter.

 

We look forward to your leadership and stewardship of our county’s future.

{Your name will be here}
